          Fucking clown of an actor was the most destructive US president to the planet, we still suffer the impact all over the world. The horror we have today is the evolution of the foundation he built.

        It did, for a select few. Less than four days, even. You just had to be one of the finance sector aristocrats who laid claim to enough passive rents.

          I assume /s but seriously the 40 hour work week was 1940 so the eighties was four decades later. It was more than enough time and plenty of technological efficiency had come to pass. We should be doing round 3 at this point at least. I mean we are not that far from it being a century since.

    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.
