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.

But if 92% are seriously affected I would assume that some people could found a single topic party and that they would be elected immediately.

Oh this is just one of many issues for which the public disagrees with the politicians. They do not work for us in the slightest. They work for the rich. This has been a known fact for decades. Even the supposedly good politicians capitulate for unity and soften "eat the rich" to "tax the rich".

Now they're just seeing how hard they can push before people fight back. With any luck, they're just as stupid as the voting public.

I think you'll find a major asterisk on that 92% stat if looking hard enough
