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 dunno. I watched him speak live and it didn't seem like he was talking to or trying to convince Trump. He did seem to be talking to the Republican base to pay attention and be aware of whether the GOP does anything for working class people.
I don't think he got through to many, if any, but honestly there's literally no one in the GOP Convention-going Base talking about unions or working class issues. Worth a shot.
Maybe I'll have to give it a listen. Disgusted me to see Sean O'Brien up there.
