    That’s a hell of a lot of money to steal in just a few years. In under a decade, they’ll all be trillionaires, and we’ll all be trillions of dollars poorer.

      And that’s not how any of this works at all. Zero-sum game this is not.

      This is the S&P 500, guess where they’re starting this headline from? Guess what happened immediately before this report’s “2020” start date.

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.
