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.

Mandani is just straight up doing what every single city, state and what the Fed itself would do if it cared more about the people than enriching investors and friends. It becomes extremely clear when you see him passing little laws like this what capitalists have been doing to regular people while creating a new ruling class of billionaires.

After years of politicians telling us everything is totally impossible, it turns out there's this button on the Mayor's desk that says Do Something Good, and when you press it, something good happens. So Mamdani just keeps pressing it.

That button has always been on that desk, and it's been on the desks of every politician, forever. So why haven't they been pressing it?
