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.

If you’re not capable of providing more than minimum value for your employer, then why should you work for that company? Find a company you can do more for.

Are you for real? "Find a company you can do more for"? Fuck that. More like:

If your employer can't pay you more than the minimum for the value of your work, then why should you work for that company? Find a company that will pay you for the value of your work.

Why would I ever do more work than what I'm being compensated for?

Not all of us "live to work." There's more to life than your job.
