Overwork is more than long hours — it’s a hidden burden on our minds and well-being. Chronic overworking can fuel anxiety, depression, burnout, and even reshape how our brains handle stress. It’s time we challenge the “hustle till collapse” mindset.

Untreated mental illness = lost workers, stressed caregivers, weakened communities, and billions in financial loss every year.

This is so incredibly important.
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
