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.

Great. I think the rest of us were made poorer, with stock market going down a lot, inflation and high energy prices.
But who cares right.
The wealthy don't provide; they take. They exploit others bc they have deep rooted addiction to wealth along with a host of comorbid conditions (narcissism, sociopathy, etc.).
Stock market grew 12%ish last year. Additionally, the health of the stock market isn't a meaningful measure of how well the average citizen is doing, it's mostly for the wealthy and elderly.
Plenty of people care about a lot of things. I believe the modern problem is we can't seem to stop talking and stop forgetting until we're collectively reminded about it all sometime later. I'm wondering how long until it becomes too much. Because it appears everyone is tired of it snd yet so little action also appears to be taken.
People don't have power so I think that's why no action is taken too. What are we gonna do, vote....
