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 they paid based on results, you'd be in sales. Everywhere else, you're a wage slave. On the hourly side, they try to wring every second of work they can out of you, and anything else is a 'loss'. It's the same for salaried employees, the measurement is just different. Instead of work efficiency, it's work hours. The rest is just politics.
