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.

Your language in the comments are also very divisive for someone claiming to want to break idealogical lines.

Yeah, probably so. That's how I feel about it though. I literally just posted it because I thought it was a really insightful and important message and one I wanted to share. It's like a celebration of these victories that working people have been able to achieve recently, and an important insight into reasons it was able to happen and how to keep it going. Then I got this swell of disapproval about it. I interpreted that as stemming from people being addicted to their divisiveness and unsympathetic to the victories of anyone who doesn't perfectly agree with them ideologically. So yeah I got sort of embittered about it with my response.

I think you're right and I apologize about being combative about it, that's probably not productive, you're right. But it's hard for me to be apologetic about the reasons for the reaction.

If everyone’s agreeing with you, you might just be in an echo chamber.

I actually kind of enjoy when most people disagree with me, that's why I'm over here commenting instead of in /c/workersrightsoverpolitics. I do definitely have the feeling that there's an echo chamber effect going on, yes.
