        All he has to do is to climb on a truck once and half of the country will believe he is a regular Joe. Critical thinking has left the building.

      That’s one of the fundamental strategies from the trump playbook: just claim the people want something and if it’s repeated loud and often enough, people will start to believe it. Hopefully not for something as egregious as this, but it has worked in the past.

        I’d love a few floating “celebrate your bullshit when you choose” days instead.

          Not from US, but I’d love to see mine and other multicultural countries have a box to tick when you get a job for what set of cultural holidays you want. No change forms those who celebrate Christmas and Easter (either religiously or traditional cultural reasons), and gives other cultures a chance to enjoy their holidays.

      Cadlillac agrees with Trump. Slave labour is what makes America great and the slaves love it apparently.

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.
