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.

Actually for a very good reason. The entire government is designed for the wealthy to keep getting richer. Everything since Reagan has been a crafted plan to benefit the wealthy and fuck over the lower classes.
It's so strange that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Like, where could the rich people's money be coming from? I hAvE nO iDeA.
That's the thing. Even if you don't give your money to rich people, you will still become poor because the rich assholes keep writing more zeros to their imaginary investments so that your actual money becomes worth less
Amen.
