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.

Did you know that most work places are flammable, and use security cameras that are cheap and have low resolution? They also usually angle them so that they don't really capture anything more than 100ft from an entrance, and that's a stretch

And definitely don't look how flammable cars are with a fire starter cube lit on top of the driver's side tire...

Aside from the content of the article:

I dearly miss the time when “literally” didn’t also encompass “figuratively” in colloquial terms.
