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.

Just because its obvious doesn't mean its not also bullshit.

Education is the single most important thing affecting a societies longevity and well-being. If the people responsible for that education aren't able to support themselves, it erodes the very foundation of the country.

Whether or not it affects the bottom line of an investment firm may be an important metric to you but it doesn't necessarily mean what's best for everyone.
