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.

Which is bad if you have a lot of money, but not so bad if you have a lot of debt and can still sell your labor and its produce.

But also bad if you have pay for things like food and shelter. Then you are just bartering which is less efficient than having actual currency. You can't buy or sell someone half a haircut.

If wages rise with inflation, then workers gain relative to those with accumulated fortunes.
