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.

Now let's go for 12 hour tit for tat work weeks!
Nú skulum við fara í 12 tíma vinnuvikur þar sem við skiptum á milli!
Oh hey I have this work life balance and can't make ends meet. The 4 hour shifts feel unproductive due to break rules, incentivizing the 15 minutes used at the end of day. These days I usually have very limited time and cannot extend/reflect meaningful progessive or incentive to engage further.
In turn losing ability to create further responsibility, which assures the job necessitates me. Losing a major avenue of job security.
Any time free is spent trying to not indulge in further spending.
I'm not so sure why your employer isn't paying you for the dividends of your yields, but the 12hr tit for tat work week is the homo sapien schedule to a healthy body. The countries doing 4 day work weeks pay for the full 40 hour wages + benefits, even if you're working 32hrs.
I’m anarchist, wages are theft. So is money. This is why I’m mentioning to keep pushing the political landscape further free. Work should be for pursuits, not having to worry about paying rent
You're getting me too excited, stop filling my head with such wondrous dreams!
