Executives report that they have finally finished the number crunching that has been the topic of discussion for weeks now regarding the new budget changes. One board member told us "The nerds in accounting kept complaining about how many expense reports we've been sending lately. After looking into it, we've found a rapid uptick in hitman related expenditure." Confirming recent suspicions that vendors did take note of the recent demand increases and decided on a market adjustment industry-wide. Our source did not confirm that these new layoffs were due to the investigation results, but inside rumor is saying that's the case.

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.
