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.

Arbitration is pretty much always a scam. Even in b2b settings, a lot of those contracts are not between parties of equal power.
Like, if a small business sets up a business account at a major office supply company, that’s a pretty common example of a b2b contract where the parties have very different power.
I seem to remember seeing something about a few churches / religious organizations trying to use arbitration clauses to avoid going to trial for things like sexual harassment, too.
Oh 100%. Employers put that stuff in all the time, so I’m sure churches would with their staff too
