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.

Or--and stay with me here--get some graduate certificate and make that the only thing that appears on your education.
Yeah no. Graduates have it the hardest with regards to applying to a job. Every employer wants experience, even for entry level jobs lol. Larping as a graduate will result in even fewer interviews lol.
A degree is a reset button on your career and shows growth. It sets you apart from all the other 50 year olds.
