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.

I know I've seen some articles on this but I can't seem to find them again. There were studies done where they asked self identified right wing people to agree or disagree with political statements.

People were very likely to disagree with a statement like "I support universal healthcare", but very likely to agree with statements like "I support laws which would ensure no taxpayer would enter into medical debt for obtaining necessary medical care". Essentially, if you just described socialist ideology, without using the common words for it, a large amount of right wing people completely agreed with it.

I've noticed the same in conversations. When I talk about socialist theory, people agree 100%, but as soon as you say a buzz word it's, "Now I don't want full socialism!"
