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.

So... Students getting paid for extracurricular activities is wrong because money ruins everything. OK.

By extension, students paying money to attend college is ruining college.

For a logical conclusion: Colleges getting paid for their students extracurricular work (college sports) is also ruining college.

And Dana White makes money off of people getting CTEs.

The students incredibly get scholarships just for playing games. Seems like payment enough.
