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.

Also I tend to notice that usually all the horrible stuff is just easier to notice and remember and all the good things feel natural and just go by. At least it is true for me :)

This isn't just you. It seems like our brain gets somehow triggered by negativity. This is the exact same reason the rights use fear to pass their messages and the same reason why headlines usually play with the fear of the people, because then more people will read the article.
