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.

Yeah, I think this is the right answer. It's a bit shocking that none exist, but that doesn't mean it's untrue. Some may have existed but don't anymore (like the Vermont example in another reply).

The health insurance racket in the US is strong -- probably the strongest in the world -- and they have to ~~maintain~~ constantly expand their profits.
