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.

MODERATORS
Day caregivers should own and operate daycares. Nursing aids (and nurses and support staff) should own and operate nursing homes.
Auto shops should be owned by mechanics. Grocery stores should be run by grocers.
Workplaces should be owned by the people that work in them. Worker owned co-ops.
what if i'm unemployed?
Then in a socialist system you would have the opportunity to join an in-demand field.
what's an in-demand field today?
Child care and elder care seem to be in demand.
