It’s going to take more than free snacks and a casual dress code to bring workers back into the office.

      That’s about what a monthly train pass to London costs my wife.

      Who is, I cannot stress this enough, a student.

      It doesn’t even include the time to prepare and commute, just the monetary cost.

      If they paid overtime to commute it would be even more.

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.
