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.

It took me far too many braincells to realize that this headline means "being mean to scabs is effective" and not "being mean to scabs is, itself, doing work."
Maybe I need to use the sleep.
Volunteer work is also work, and I'll gladly do this for free.
Although if I could be paid to be on strike I think that would be best.
Hey, if it paid a living wage I would be mean to scabs professionally, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
This is literally the job of labor union leaders. Go be one! We need more.
I'd do the same 8 hours a day, but I'm taking Fridays off as well, tyvm.
If the being mean to scabs union goes on strike, what happens if a member of the union scabs?
