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.

Moral of the story is apply if you really want the job, or move on. It's like running from a bear.
you only need to be faster than the guy next to you
yeah but as someone entering the job market it's soul crushing to see all those listings. You think that you're the problem, that everyone else entering the field does have 3 years of experience already. It just fucking sucks, what's the point in inflating the requirements like that?
