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.

Sure, everyone is struggling, but some are struggling more than others.
i suspect women are going for bio degree, they surpass men like 60% in this bio degree holders, specifically health(nursing, maybe some research, or even MD), in an older study, so they have more job security. the stems that men are going for, are usually very difficult to get into, if you dont have lab/research experience before graduation, or not even considering grad school. like psych, CS, data science, physics,,,etc.
biotech/health is one of those fields i see alot women in compared to men, when i was in university, most of the labs were taken up by women more than men, and men have struggled to find it by the time thier junior year or by the time they graduate, because labs have very limited volunteering spaces and are almost always full. some of them even got PUBLISHED/ or was in a research paper, which is a very big deal for your CV or resume.
