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.

Can I have some sources? I believe what you just said but the studies might actually say something slightly different.

Source is a college course from 20 years ago 😭 so I don't recall specifics, but the idea is that prisons don't so much as reduce crime as contain it, or shift it around.

I'm not sure you'd see that in reported crime stats in an area though
