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.

Please, we need to say X-hour-week, as a four-day workweek can still be 4 10h days in a week or even more.
The aim is the reduction of work-time, not the restructuring of those hours.
Yep, and that 4x10 nonsense happens every damn time.
32hr workweek, as a transitionary period towards a 24hr workweek. Dead serious.
No more billionaires, or even hundred millionaires for that matter.
Honestly I'd be happy with the same hours but an extra day off.
An 8 hour work day consumes most of the time around it as well.
I used to work four 10-hour days. HATED it. lol
