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.

I keep saying it, so maybe I should make a meme of it:

The key ingredient for data centers in the US is not an abundance of water and power, but cheap, bribeable regional officials.

"We need term limits" lol. Term limits mean politicians need to line their pockets even faster. Fucking Rome was famous for this shit.

What we really need to do is hold corrupt politicians and the businesses that are paying them accountable for 150% of the damages from their schemes. None of this "I took a 5 million dollar bribe and I got 6 months house arrest plus a 1500 dollar fine."
