    If only anybody could identify what the problem was…

    I guess it’ll remain a forever mystery.

    This just sounds like everyone? I am sure some ageism happens but the only “scientific” part of this is a quick single source comparison of total number of job hunters.

    Its awful out there.

    At 50 you should be retiring to make way for new workers. That’s how you keep a healthy job market

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.
