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.

Why spend all the money union busting then do shit like this. Won't this just starts another round of unionization?
We’re not far from incurring debts from suicides that our families will have to repay.
Not sure if you think those don't exist
That moment when you realize that dystopian future you’re imagining already exist.
They don't at least in most of the western world you can't inherit debt. It all comes out of the estate and if the estate isn't worth enough then the lenders are out of luck. Now that doesn't mean that unscrupulous lenders won't try to go after the family but legally they don't have a leg to stand on as long as you don't start paying them. At least in the US if you pay them anything then they can take that to court as you agreeing to pick up the debt but if you just tell them to go pound sand then they can't do anything.
They spent all that money union busting so they can do shit like this.
