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.

Not true. People would be living in less fear, and the world would be a far better place.

I've heard ICE described as a militia of the unemployed mobilized to declare war on the working class

Your comment made me think of the Zimbardo prison experiment, and how there seem to be some similarities between that experiment and what is happening in US with all this ICE mess.
