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.

Deff a factor but don't forgot that the government is ran by people who are in the pocket of big biz. So there but so much enforcement that will ever be allowed. I bet most of it happens v smaller employers too lol

Just look at things like employment of migrant workers, independent contractor misclassifitions esp ride share and door dash..

Limp dick clowns
