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.

MODERATORS
According to some studies they should call it 100-80-120 becuase they show people are actually more productive with 4 day work weeks but i guess well see.
Unless the free day is on a Friday apparently, maybe?
There's a lot missing in the article and nothing seems to be sourced.
No work sectors, no numbers and barely a decent explanation. I'm all for the four day work week, but this article seems unnecessarily optimistic?
