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.

When I agreed to go $60k into debt, I was a stupid high schooler under the age of 18 who had never had a real job and didn't know what money was worth. Colleges were spamming misinformation at me to get me to give them my money. I was misled on the ease at which I could get a solid job out of college. I trusted that the system wouldn't charge me more than the value of my education. 6 years out of college now, still $45k in debt. The system fucked me over royally when I was still a kid.
