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.

This is why outreach is so important. It takes one on one conversations to change peoples view of the situation.
Some of the best tactics I have seen lately is foregoing standard tabling and throwing community barbecues. Brought out more people and their families to a situation they weren't transitioning between, it left alot more space for good conversations. Obviously that can't happen every week, but it is a great strategy to increase union drive engagement.
