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.

Still no calls for nationwide general strikes of all sectors to show working class power.

Maybe one day.

Steps at a time. It takes time and effort to wake the giant and get it on its feet.

There is at least one.

I guess I have time for another protest.

A thousand Luigis would get the point across better.

Unless the people are showing up armed, I wouldn’t expect much of anything productive to come out of this.
