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.

It sure seems like it might be a contributing factor. Who knew that threatening whistleblowers would eventually wind up with people duct taping over known issues rather than actually trying to get them fixed?
Now we've got this, the whole Boeing thing, East Palestine...
I had to do a write-up on the Deepwater Horizon disaster for my organizational leadership class a couple weeks ago. Same thing, a corporate culture that downplayed safety and emphasized profit led to poor maintenance, woefully inadequate equipment inspections, and choosing the worst options because they were cheaper.
It's past time for these corps to learn.
