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 targeting the children of the poor.
Of course it is, same as it ever was. Want to help your parents, work overnight at the slaughter factory, sleep in school and quit your extracurriculars. Lose a finger, well they followed Florida safety laws use your health insurance.
Only in Florida would someone have read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and thought, "this is the family dynamic we need to bring back to working class Americans".
