We envision a world that is much more democratic. Our mission is to promote equality where the mere fact of employment level does not merit the treatment of any individual as more or less part of the “equipment” rather than as a real human being.

The accomplishment of a more humane society starts with the establishment of some equality between the extremes of an absolute focus on the elite’s benefit to the exclusion of the American worker, while still allowing capitalistic enterprises to prosper. 

We resent the implication that workers as human beings do not have sufficient pride in their performance, that threats against their employment, and as an extension their very survival are justified by the laws of this nation.

The differences between the traditional social contract, and the modern American management style, will continue to worsen the climate we all share.  How much more preferable is an alternative scenario of mutual human respect in an atmosphere of more distributed empowerment, where members of different classes must treat each other with the respect and dignity an enlightened and compassionate society should promote. 

Our call is not just to humanize the legal relationships between individuals but to revitalize the moral dimension that has, until recently, worked to create a more level society.  Moral force has and always will dwarf the effects of political action.  True goodness has never been able to be legislated without the inevitable corruption of its intent.  Both of these options will be needed for our society to deal with the coming challenges that will ultimately affect us all.

We will continue to call out the good where it can be seen and will certainly condemn those aspects of societal response that lead us toward inhumanity and division.
