Gosh, a famously southern company abusing their employees? Quelle Surprise!

And a "Union" had to step in last time they felt so entitled to human labor, too. 😂

Anyone else notice a trend? All of these companies being called out for low wages. Reports of stagnant wages at a national level for decades. Constant pushback from government while the C-Suite makes more and more and buys up politicians.

You don't fix this without taking to the streets.

And those employees are sometimes literally fighting for their lives.

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.
