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.

The stock market is certainly part of the problem but it’s not everything.
Capitalism in its entirety is the issue. Capitalism is based on infinite growth which is unsustainable and impossible.
The stock market is just a tool to extract wealth from the populace. Without the stock market it would still happen but with less efficiency.
You have the same problems with or without stocks.
