    As a teenager, this would have motivated me to do crime. You aren’t going to pay fairly? I’m going to make money unfairly. Anyone who pays under minimum wage would get retribution. Also, kids should band together and not work at these places. And rob them.

          Lol no wonder. Read it wrong. I’ve done community activism in my city and the young people don’t seem to have that bite in them. Guess I just got happy for a second.

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.
