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.

This is not really true though. If you need cancer treatment and don't have insurance (or if your insurance won't cover treatment) you can't just walk into a hospital and demand to see a specialist, much less get surgery or chemotherapy.
Yes they will take you in for your last moments and put you in a corner to die, but that is not what people normally think of as healthcare.
