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.

Yes, but then they'll only pay you for 4 days...and you'll probably lose any benefits you had...and things will continue to get more expensive.
The four-day work week movement presumes that wages will increase so that life remains affordable. Mind you this was before the current era in which life isn't affordable on a forty-hour workweek.
Hopefully, when we collectively decide we've had enough, we'll expand our distaste of slavery to cover all forms of bonded servitude.
