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.

Younger and lower-income workers are among the least satisfied with their jobs; majorities say it would be hard to find the kind of job they’d want if they were looking today

I definitely qualify here. My job will not survive without me, every level of managment and customers, fellow employees, etc acknowledges that. I put in my two weeks a couple days ago citing low wages and several documented promises of pay increases that were never realised. Instead of offering me any pay raise at all, the higher ups basically said that they are willing to let the buisness fail before they give me a pay raise. Id like to have a FAFO moment but... they seem like they are actually willing to lose 5000/d to avoid giving me a dollar more. And its definitely not a case of them not being able to afford it, new hires make more than I do despite my 4 years of training. The other day I was informed that I am literally the only one currently employed here that knows how to open the buisness.
