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.

Serious question: why do people work at amazon? Are they unaware of what's happening? Is the money just that good?
The alternative under capitalism is death or at the very least being an outcast from society.
There are no other companies out there. Amazon is the only one.
For many people, yes, there is no other choice. Was that meant to be a joke?
No, people often fail to see how modern day capitalism is basically indentured servitude for those at the bottom.
