CEOs ~~make~~ steal
FTFY
Surely a CEO brings more to the table in a single year than the entire working careers of 4 to 6 other people.
Look, if you can't support the absurd concentration of wealth at the organizational level how are you going to keep your head on straight that this is all normal and acceptable at the systemic level? Next you're going to say that wealth should not be based on whatever the next charlatan shits out at Davos or TedX but actually sustainably improving the world for humans?
Keep the faith, surely those gains will trickle down soon.
EPI is one of the very few sources that hasn't disappointed -- so far.

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.
