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.

Conservative opinions on subminimum wage are mixed, but some advocates are optimistic that the new administration will continue working to phase it out.

Personally the fairest way is after something like an extra couple hundred a month, every dollar earned just reduces benefits by a dollar

I'd agree with you, but being disabled is at least twice as expensive as not and those expenses don't go away just because you earned the dollar yourself.
