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.

article blames employees for only doing the work they are compensated for
first quote is a CEO, no labor leaders quoted at all in the article
bs trillions of dollars wasted figure for workers distracted, no calculated figure for wasted trillions on out of control executive compensation
equivocates work from home with decreased productivity when research shows trends in the opposite direction and people would leave if return to office is required, meaning your most effective employees who can find employment elsewhere will leave

Thanks for nothing CNBC

edit: CNBC's parent company Comcast owns commercial properties, I have to consider this article is at least in part influenced by the decreased commercial property value to be so blatantly anti labor
