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 agree with the premise that late stage capitalism is a cancer, but I do have to say this particular scale of productivity/wage doesn't necessarily imply effort/wage directly. Tooling and technology has also improved productivity and in some cases has made jobs far less effort than they once were; arguably a good portion of profits were paid to who developed those solutions.

I don't have a better comparison to offer unfortunately, just a small blind spot in the data I think is worth mentioning.
