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'm proud of them and I encourage them every chance I get.
When I got in, the oldest old-timers were still lifers, and seeing them was inbetween an illusion and an anachronism. Something that none of us would ever have: a lifelong career at the same place.
They were very loyal to the company, but the company had also (mostly) been loyal to them through their career.
Then we started seeing the corpo-grinder start cutting folks a year away from their retirement, they started or gutting pensions, etc. Full mask off moment.
Now, they don't even bother with the illusion, so I don't see why younger folks would have loyalty for the grinder.
