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.

I feel like AI is just going to end up replacing interns or entry level people, it can do easy tasks that would take a while by hand to do. Which based on how bad the job market seems to have been for people like me just trying to enter it somewhat makes sense.
Yeah the whole missing entry level job thing for most industries is going to backfire with exploding wages for experienced people. Without training grads and apprentices there's an ever decreasing pool of experienced people to pick from.
Yep but of course companies don't care about it right now as right now it allows them to be more profitable in the immediate term.
Yeah we've structured the system so companies are mostly only responsible to shareholders, and shareholders really only care about short term gains with their only liability from the company is financial. Companies are always going have a focus on short term gains because thats what the system demands.
