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 smartest thing about wage slavery is that our whole system runs on it. Everyone is born into the system and it just continues to perpetuate. At some point we have to redistribute wealth to help the general population succeed more. People should not have to worry about their basic needs for example. Food, shelter, healthcare, education. They should all be covered no questions asked.
