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.

I've been putting off allergies/sinus issue for a bit, just to hoping it would go away on its own. This morning I woke up with a sore left ear and jaw. I could hear the bubbling in my ear. Took some Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen to help. The pain returned by lunch. Decided to go get it looked at on insurance. Still cost $310 to get some Amoxacillian prescribed. I am fortunate to be able to afford it and yet it still hurt me financially.
