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.

~~39~~ 119 billion to go. Edit: Possibly 149 billion as some sources place yearly wage theft at 50 billion dollars.
What's the annual rate? 10 billion per year stolen?
More like 40 billion.
Sir... Three years is 120b and we only recovered 2b... Where did the rest go
Oh I missed that this was over 3 years.
