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 got a job once that required me to join the union. It was bagging groceries part time for minimum wage at a grocery store. Sorry I don't mean to be a downer, I see union membership as a good thing. Unions are like democracy. They are only as good as the people they are made of.
What good is the union if they can't even get you more than minimum wage? Wow.
Yeah I didn't work there very long. It was 1984 and unemployment was 10%. Being fresh out of high school I took whatever I could find
