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 explanation, or at least one explanation, or part of the reason, is straightforward. US is getting economically weaker in comparison to other countries. Since it doesn't have the best social structure, the effects of that are felt by the population. Besides, the average cost of living of an US family is too high compared to the global average. This was made possible by the richness of the country, but is not sustainable.
