Americans have an increasingly positive view of unions and nearly half of U.S. adults believe they should have more influence, a new poll found.

      They’re owned by Scott Trust, a venture capital firm.

      “Neither workers at the newspapers nor readers participate in voting for board members.”

      Take from that what you will. My take is that “venture capital” is a polite pseudonym for fascist

        That’s not a completely accurate assessment of that Wikipedia page, but I do agree VCs are usually behind every other shitty thing going on right now

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.
