A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Many people, like yourself, are waiting for something “actionable” before they do anything.

What do you mean by that. Firstly, you don't know me at all. Second, do you know what an actionable item is? Literally, what do you want 'people like myself' today, right now to do that is just going to fix everything? I'll stand for 'people like me' and say, we're ready to 'get off our ass and do something', but what EXACTLY is that going to be? If you're going to get on your soap box and tell me and 'people like me' off, have a plan.

Because as far as I see, you're just grand standing.
