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.

What a weird defeatist thought. We're already in lala-land with 5% tax added, albeit measly, on the ruling class. So, why not lala all the way to a positive use of it?

Maybe, but the people of the country are not the priority. If we were the priority, Republicans wouldn't constantly try to defund social programs like social security and welfare. The people would have more to help them, corporations would be taxed more and the people (namely the middle and lower classes) would be taxed less. The country doesn't serve us, like it should. The country serves the corporations and military.
