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.

its amazing how blind usa people are. This is exactly what they feared and voted against. 30,000 tech jobs in the usa replaced by immigrants . Yeah i know you voted to MAGA. This is what you get in return for supporting MAGA.
To be fair, most MAGA people are not in the tech industry. Most educated tech people are independent or Democrats.
Americans are good at creating self-fulfilling prophecies through their constant irrational fears while ignoring the actual ass fuckings they’re receiving. And then lots of innocent people get to fall victim to all the idiots bursting at the seams in this joke of a country.
I mean American jobs are going to immigrants in this instance so is it irrational?
Yeah, victim blaming is generally irrational. And, you know, pretty fucking lame.
If you believe the immigrants are the ones with agency here, you're choosing willful ignorance. The Epstein class are the enemies, not a bunch of poor schmucks who have it even worse than me - not to mention the chances they'll have their immigrant status exploited against them is pretty much guaranteed.
