    I think you would have to be extremely uneducated to be outraged about this now. It’s not a new thing, the party of child marriage and child labour gets elected and you’re shocked about child labour? Are people going to feign surprise when they try to lower the age of consent laws again?

      Well, Americans are nothing if not terribly uneducated.

      Right, you should be murderously furious, not outraged.

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.
