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.

Every job I've had that requires me to be on call, has paid me for being on call. If I was in an interview and they told me I was expected to pull call for no additional pay, I'd have to sue for injury after enduring the side pain from all the laughing I'd be doing in between them spewing that batshit insane expectation and me promptly walking my ass out of that room.

Put that shit in the job description and reimburse accordingly... this ain't rocket surgery.
