    A paid membership to vote on changes and additions to the program. I think that would be pretty beneficial honestly.

      So instead of a free vote you only get a paid vote?

        Is there a free vote now? Have I somehow missed this?

          accepts outside contributions already

            Sure but those contributors don’t have a functional role in managing the project. This idea seems clearly distinct from the status quo.

      Don’t need a co-op for that. Just fork it and make the changes.

        True, you can. But for people who may not have the skill or time but still value the browser, I think it isn’t a bad idea. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

          Then pay someone who does have the time and skill to fork it and make the change you want.

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.
