    Wasting people’s time with these (and potentially sense of hope as well) absolutely should be criminal.

      The vast majority of American politicians are notoriously out of touch with and unresponsive to the population at large*. A decade is a FAST turnaround for them to do anything about a huge systemic problem that primarily hurts workers rather than the ultra-rich and their corporations.

      *unless it’s about bigotry and other aspects of jingoism. In those cases, they’re often AHEAD of the population by inventing the issues themselves

    Needs to have fines starting at 200% of the advertised max annual salary plus interest, rising to 1000% based on willfulness or repeated offenses. That will help send a message

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.
