    Imagine that you are right and a person is on drugs; what kind of inhumane psychopath do you have to be to see someone having a medical emergency - regardless of the cause - and think that the police are the best people to deal with the situation?

      Since we’ve killed most useful programs in the US, that’s pretty much how it goes. I fucking hate this place.

      Once he’s been shot by the police, maybe the city has to pay for the ambulance?

        HA.

        If the police shoot you you probably have to pay for the bullet.

      Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. <— These filth

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.
