    In short term people are going to start dying a whole lot, and the rest of us will realize we have nothing left to lose.

    It’s going to be ugly.

      There’s this quote, I can’t remember the wording or the source, but it goes something like, “What is truly terrifying is not what people can endure but what they can get used to.”

        This is the truth, people will suffer and society will continue on. Things can get so much worse.

      People are already dying a whole lot, and a whole lot more are needlessly suffering. And even more are struggling financially to handle the burdens of our health care system.

      It’s already ugly.

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.
