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 think if you want to Steel-Man an anti-union argument, then two routes you could take would be to look at police unions and the history of organized crime’s involvement in unions. Both are interesting case studies for how the purpose of unions can be corrupted, and worth examining for how to make sure a union does its job right.

Ooo yes thank you. Because no corporations have ever (Enron) done anything wrong, ever.

Sorry. So ensuring that Unions are accountable to their members
