A legal challenge to abolish the NLRB is just the most obvious attempt by the ruling class to squash the rise of working class militancy in the US.

    Management forgets that strikes and unions were the concession negotiated in lieu of beating factory owners to death in the street.

        Ruling class learned we don’t really care about beating Pinkertons to death, especially when they strike first.

        So they just hired the Pinkertons as police.

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.
