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.

Yep but of course companies don't care about it right now as right now it allows them to be more profitable in the immediate term.

Yeah we've structured the system so companies are mostly only responsible to shareholders, and shareholders really only care about short term gains with their only liability from the company is financial. Companies are always going have a focus on short term gains because thats what the system demands.
