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.

If they want to dismantle a union, start with police unions. But I'm sure that's the one and only union they would support. Tells you something about these assholes. And police.

except police unions arent true unions, just a mafia/gang that can strongarm a city to give it what it wants for protection.

Counterpoint: Unions who break up strikes aren’t unions
