The Teamsters president took a gamble and accepted Trump’s invitation to speak at the Republican convention – it backfired

So long as unions have to support democrats, the democrats don’t have to give anything in return, making it useless to support them. So at least pretending that there is an alternative might push the democrats to be more labor friendly.

And yet “Biden was the most pro-union President in history” without those silly games

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.
