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.

Who knew that working people less means they have time to have kids?

It's always amazing to see study after study confirming totally obvious relationships yet policy makers and corporations still choose to ignore all of it.

Who cares that they will have 20% fewer workers in 2+ decades when you could have 2% more profit this year?

And yet corporations rely heavily on their shill research study findings to advertise

It really wouldn't be an issue if workplace sex was easily possible. If you spend the whole day there you might at least multitask and make new workers while inputting data into Excel.

Office sex DOES exist, but only accessible by the higher echelons of corporate management ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well considering I saw another post talking about investing in AI and UBI, one can hope.

The 69 hours a week bill got defeated. Apparently someone suggested 69 as a way of getting more babies, and the PM was like "hours of work a week? Deal!"
