    That’s 2 days and 12 more hours than is acceptable.

    WWIII should just be the 0.1% vs everyone else. This isn’t an issue with borders.

      IMHO it won’t be like a world war. The last time something like that happened was monarchs gradually giving way to representatives.

      Capitalism is extremely wasteful, filled with bullshit jobs, so a well organized democracy could do much better. We’ll out-compete them.

    How is there not more protesting about this? Greeks used to be really good at that.

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.
