      You know those kids are pretty small as well, I’m sure they can work with chimeys a lot better than an adult.

          Yep, British English got these words from Norman French. In the 20th Century, Webster’s reforms attempted to simplify American English and lost a bunch of these silent vowels.

        “Not lab our” isn’t a complete sentence. Please conform to all rigid forms of prescriptivist communication if you’d like to continue nitpicking stupid shit.

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.
