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.

I have an idea for a story in which a former businessman, now homeless, has a number of interpersonal conflicts with people who lend him money, dislike him, give him favors to get by, etc. There's a whole first part based on this strife and drama. Then, a freak situation results in him instantly becoming the head of a nationwide corporation. Every single conflict that existed in the first part is solved in about 3 paragraphs through a quick set of checks he writes.
There's a lot of general morals in that story, including "Wealth is not necessarily as 'earned' as one would think", but also that a comfortable amount of money really does ease almost all interpersonal relationships.
