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? It is exactly representative. The values are correct and comprehensible. The fact that the numeric orders of magnitude of the units involved don't progress uniformly is irrelevant. The point is that they are all values that are relatable within normal human experience.
1 kilogram, 22 Titanics, and 22000 Titanics doesn't help at all. There is no number of Titanics that is is a human relatable quantity.
