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.

Despite this massive investment, the U.S. ranks last overall in health system performance when compared to nine other high-income nations.

Healthcare has gotten worse under maga, along with democracy/freedom/quality measures. Look up the data. The same patterns are visible in other failing countries like Russia, Argentina, and in history too we can see it, yet they say they need to be more strict to fix the problems their bad ways created. High-control systems are the wrong answer if we want healthy progress for humanity first. The wealthy/powerful have benefitted from the systems for so long, if you really look at history, when the wealth/power inequality began, along with supernatural excuses they invented to keep the power.
