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.

cause ww1 and ww2 taught us that peace is way more lucrative then getting sucked into a war

LMAO

Is that really the lesson you think America learned after WWII? Is that why they've been constantly starting illegal wars of aggression across the planet for 80 years?

I think americans education lacks desperately yeah but after a bad enough war they'll maybe finally see why we need international rules. Why would anyone not sign it, do they want to be able to make rules that justify crimes against humanity or war crimes? Unless you're doing shady stuff. And the lobbying of rich companies that want to keep resources poor, so maybe we should start with taxing big companies way more then and limiting the sum amount of assets someone can have, say 1M-10M. Cause the lobbying for human rights and average people seems nonexistent

do they want to be able to make rules that justify crimes against humanity or war crimes?

That is literally America's MO, yes. They have laws which state if any international Justice system tries to hold an American accountable, they have to invade and go to war. The Hague invasion act.

Exactlyyy. The Hague invasion act is used when the ICC wants to investigate war crimes by america's army (or israelians army). So america will go as far as to attack a country as soon as they want to investigate what happened somewhere ... the ICC just went after Trumps government for sanctioning the ICC, aka international law. Bruh how obvious corrupt do they want to be... Trump for prison asap

America for balkanization. Trump is a symptom, not the disease. Death to America.
