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.

A federal IT staffer filed a complaint about DOGE, then went public. Shortly after Elon Musk boosted a post calling his claims false, his brake lines were cut. Now he’s suing for defamation.

Lol now I'm imagining someone cutting the break on an incline and the person trying to pull onto the road starts falling backwards

I mean. Maybe. But in all actuality that doesn't happen easily on automatic cars because of the way automatic transmissions are built. Parking pawl holds the transmission while it's parked. Then the valve body system and the torque converter work together to keep the car moving in the direction it's geared in. So in drive you'd be geared to move forward and so on.
