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.

One job is important to the prosperity and safety of our future. The other can disappear tomorrow and nothing would change (discuss.online)

I completely agree with the message but had to snicker at “populous”.

Oopsie. Teacher needs to remember that populous & populace are two very different words 🤭

That I had to scroll this far down to see this is rather telling of the state of education.

Ooooh I see! I'm usually pretty good with these tricky homonyms but I didn't know about this one. Learn something new every day.
