    Not the one you’ve been having a back and forth with. I think it’ll help to look at the relevant facts. The 13th amendment, is what is being brought up here.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

    As far as legal texts go, the US constitution is not convoluted at all. Here is the relevant line:

    Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime

    Most other western countries do not have “prison labor”.

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.
