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.

Idk I kinda get it:

Federal salary employee that teaches young people to be intelligent members of a future society they'll grow up to create:

Peasant pay, overloaded classrooms, stripped authority over class disruptors. 😭🍎📚

Federal salary employee that yanks families apart and throws kids in the back of vans to get shipped to concentration camps, and sometimes just shoots people because they were having a bad day and didn't feel the customer service spirit:

SIX DIGITS AND A SIGNING BONUS BAYBEEEE💰💰💵🤑 (AIR_HORN.WAV x 5)

Our taxes fund both and they choose how to spend it.

It shows where the government's priorities are, and it's quite telling how they feel about We the People and our children.

Absolutely.

We the people are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, among these: Being left TF alone.

But they really can't seem to handle just letting people be, can they? They've always gotta be manipulating and incarcerating and exploiting and killing others to feel like they're worth anything.
