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.

Woah. That's exciting. Union busting can automatically create a union. That's... ironic. And beautiful.
It's motherfucking justice for workers at last is what it is! ✊️
Btw, it was a great choice by Biden to appoint her, but Lauren McFerran and the rest of the agency should really be getting the credit and headlines, not the guy who has otherwise been on the side of corporations!
Considering it was "a party-line decision," I think Biden and the Democrats might deserve some credit just for not being Republicans.
That's where you're wrong. If you (continue to) give them credit, votes, and lots of money just for not being utterly heinous fascists, they have no incentive to ever become actually GOOD.
The lesser evil is still evil and lowering the bar every time the worst get worse is a recipe for stagnation at best.
And all of that will matter as soon as we have ranked choice voting. While we're stuck with FPTP, the best we can do is slam the primaries.
Just more than ironic.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
