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.

Plumb shared a page from a federal labor certification report alongside a sharply worded caption that read, “Amazon – who ‘eliminated’ 30k roles between their October and January layoff waves has had 33,181 H-1B positions certified in FY26. If you can’t see what’s happening, your eyes are closed.”

Wait, are you saying a fascist movement would spout populist rhetoric yet deliver policies beneficial to the ruling class?? How dare you, sir!
