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.

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.
