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.

so what you’re saying is that when the stock market is crashing and hitting incredible lows, us plebs lose money and the rich lose significant less? make a profit?

that just points to a different and related problem that still supports oxfams conclusion

if everyone lost money at the same rate, we’d all be worse off… the problem is the wealth gap got larger; not that everyone lost money
