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.

MODERATORS
New Zealand is in real trouble. They face the worst housing crisis in the Western World.
Basically, they don't build anything at all.
They had a decent woman that tried to turn things around. But Jacynda Aerdern told them to limit travel and wear masks during a global pandemic. She saved countless lives. But conspiracy theorists freaked out and called her evil.
Now they have a government of right-wing clowns.
The throttling of housebuilding across the western world sure has made a lot of very rich people even more rich.
