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.

Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:

those with a genuine passion for education, and get joy out of helping kids
those with some other ulterior motive for having authority over children.

The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there's way too much of the second group. We're definitely getting what we pay for here.

Those with no options. The last thing kids need is someone who doesn’t want to be there
