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.

With smaller shops, it can be hard to enforce your rights esp with you got no time for it but workers have to do it.

People need to know their rights and advocate for themselves! Nobody is saving you, help yourself! If everyone did their part, we would have higher wages.

Also, personal responsibility does not excuse trash employers or the state from their duties but this change starts with wage slaves starting to act like professionals
