      So your claim is that things were perfect before 2008?

        lol I never said that. Though before the economic collapse happened in 2008, the cost of living was low enough to where if you made 50k annually it actually sustained some part of your life with a savings. Now that’s 20k above poverty and you can’t build a savings with 50k$, now 75k$ minimum is needed to build savings and live comfortably with a realistic figure being around 120k$, depending on where you are in the US.

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.
