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.

I love it because I can be very specific about what I want without worrying if I forgot anything or if the person taking my order forgot it. But even more so, I'll see things that I didn't even know existed or that I could get. When all the options are right there for me to see on my own, and I have clear pricing for them, it makes the decision much easier.

Many places I call have some shitty picture of the menu on the Internet and then I have to juggle talking to them, hoping they didn't forget anything(as even saying it back is usually rushed and it's hard to make sure it got it right) or I forgot something. Add in any type of accent or language barrier and it can be a real crap shoot.

And I'm a very social person who doesn't have a problem with asserting myself. I can only imagine what it's like for people with social anxiety or are at least a bit timid.

Thanks I didn't really think of it that way. Never really used the service before so I was taken back at the idea but that makes sense.
