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.

Make no mistake, the owning class is actively working against your interests (i.redd.it)

I absolutely agree. I just like to be honest with my kids and if I start feeding them stuff like "we're basically in the same position as that homeless guy and the whole idea that we're in different situations is just a conspiracy by the ultra wealthy to keep us down"... Well, they're bright kids and will realize that I'm full of shit soon enough.

Also I think teaching them that we're lucky to have what we have and to give (both monetarily and our time) helping out those less fortunate than us is going to do a whole lot more to create solidarity with the rest of the working class than feeding them be conspiracy theories.
