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.

There's more to New York than Manhattan. Queens and Brooklyn are often cheaper.

Brooklyn search

Shit is still too expensive, but there are lucky finds still.

I spend $2500 on a 2 br in Astoria, Queens. I lucked out, and got a good landlord 8 years ago, and he likes us, so he keeps the rent reasonable. He could easy get $3000-3200 for this place.
