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.

The image contains the following text:

"I work 60 hours most weeks.

And somehow, I still feel like I’m struggling to get by.

At some point you have to ask yourself:

What’s the point of working this hard if you never get to enjoy your life?

Something needs to change."

The point of working that hard isn't to enjoy your life, it's so your employer can enjoy their life. They can't do that without your efforts. If you wanted to enjoy your life you should have found someone else to work for you.
