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.

^why is always the furries with the high paying job…^

My best guess is because furries in general are very into STEM fields and those happen to pay a lot of money. There's also a high correlation between being a furry and being on the autism spectrum, so if your special interest happens to be STEM-related then it's cheat codes for big money and being great at your job. Furries have a ton of correlated attributes, e.g. 80%+ of us are queer, and they're very interesting as a social phenomenon. I hope someone someday figures out what causes furries, because it's more complicated than nature or nurture.
