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.

You need some reading lessons. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP?
THE GUY SAID CEO PAY IS TOO HIGH. WHO GIVES A FUCK AS LONG AS WORKERS EARN ENOUGH MONEY?
Lol you're trolling right?
CEO pay/4 > CEO pay/200
You get that right?
Oh my fucking God. What do you think we are talking about here?
Guy said lower ceo pay to increase the ratio.
Pay ceo 400,000, workers wages stay the same. How the fuck does that help?
Pay ceo 15 million and pay workers 485,000. Same ratio. Now we got somewhere.
People who want to enforce equality by imposing a ceiling are stupid. Impose equality by raising the floor. Who gives a fuck about the ceiling?
Haha what the fuck do you think we're talking about here? Nobody said lower CEO pay or anything about a ceiling, we're talking about lessening the pay gap by enforcing a ratio. If CEOs want to make huge wages they need to pay employees more. This is grade school math dude.
Obviously you're trolling and I'm just feeding it, but on the small chance that you're not... Well shit man, maybe don't dig yourself into stances so strongly if you can't do basic math?
Dude scroll up. Unless buddy edited the post, this entire response thread was a reply calling for reducing ceo pay to fix the ratio. Which I maintain, despite all the name calling, doesn't fucking help anything at all
No, it wasn't. You did a dumb, you doubled down swinging, and now you're trying to point the finger and lash out at everyone else out of embarrassment. Have some humility and own it or delete your comments in shame lol.
