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.

I'm so sorry that's happened to you. My husband works for a smaller company providing services to the mining companies. A few years ago he asked me if they should sponsor someone employed there.
I told him yes, that we had a responsibility to look after people trying to do the right things and make a life here.
Unfortunately it is far too common for companies to take advantage, forgetting that these are people with lives.
I hope you find a great position with good people who value you. ❤️
