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.

I can never understand how people can be that entitled. When I'm in the ER I'm always annoyed when someone comes in who clearly needs to be seen faster, but I couldn't imagine complaining about it or even pretending that I'm being treated unfairly.

Also that sounds scary as shit

Me neither, and when told the story got angry. But just shows that a lot people have main character syndrome even long before I heard the term.
