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.

Isn't that the go-to threat from most companies nowadays? "If we don't get our way, we're MOVING TO MEXICO"
NAFTA allows them to do it. So yes, it allows a company to avoid the unions by moving to Mexico or Canada.
Canada has unions
Yes and they make fraction of what American workers do. They make more then Mexico which is why most the jobs are going to Mexico.
