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.

Would you be less or more happy with less money?

Imo money can buy happiness to a point. Having financial security obviously affects your happiness, but anything further won’t necessarily guarantee more happiness.

So like, if I had less money I wouldn’t suddenly be sadder. But if I had so much less to the point where I couldn’t live securely, then yeah it’d affect my happiness.

So to answer your question, no, not inherently.
