“We are not very ambitious. I should be careful about talking about work-life balance, but the Americans just work harder.”

    Alternative wording: Europeans have better work-life balance than Americans.

    Nonsense article. They claim Americans “work harder” because they have longer hours, no regulation, and no legal requirement for time off. In other words, they’re closer to slaves.

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.
