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.

A guy i work with in IT infrastructure lives on a small farm, he has a raised shortbed (assuming that just means a pickup with the back part that has no roof and three short side and tailgate, sorry the terminology is different in the UK so i had to google what it was so could be wrong) he is genuinely one of the nicest pwople i know. He is super helpful with any new staff that joins the team and is very smart. He uses this pickup on his farm, and it serves a meaningful purpose that is not better served by other means.

So there's at least one.

Im not going to argue that there arent dickheads driving these things. But i will fight you on saying that its all of them.

That kind of blanket statement is not helpful. I hope you take what i am saying and genuinely think about it because you are coming off as very intolerant.

Sorry. I dont want to start an argument. Would much rather keep this at the discussion level, i just find it hard to convey context, tone, and intent in text form
