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.

They call it the ‘100-80-100’ concept. This means employees will retain 100% of their salary, work 80% of the time, but contribute 100% of their output still.

According to some studies they should call it 100-80-120 becuase they show people are actually more productive with 4 day work weeks but i guess well see.

Unless the free day is on a Friday apparently, maybe?

There's a lot missing in the article and nothing seems to be sourced.

No work sectors, no numbers and barely a decent explanation. I'm all for the four day work week, but this article seems unnecessarily optimistic?
