Or... Here's a thought. Kids DO want to work, they just want their time valued; to be respected and have a liveable wage.

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.

It’s so weird because at the same time corporations are trying to normalize child labor again. It’s almost as if workers’ willingness to work isn’t the real issue for them. Heck if I didn’t know any better, I’d say those business suit fat cats are trying to pull a fast one on us and our kids.
I'm worried about companies' reliably. They don't want to pay pensions any more; all they want is layoffs and pay cuts.
Too late. They pulled that fast one in 1980. I watched it unfold.
