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.

Thanks for explaining it! That's it, right? I was wondering what tf it was trying to allude to as "quiet quitting". This isn't satire, then?

There's always been a push towards seeing working as a value in itself, but it was easier to trick people into working around the clock when wages allowed to reach one's goals (a house, financial stability, sending your kids to college). It's more difficult when workers live paycheck to paycheck and know that they won't be economically able to retire.
