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.

Toxic bosses need not post job offers. I would rather work at a McDonald's with a good mgmt team, than a small company with hiring expectations like this. I also refuse to shop at your business if you see your employees this way.

Employers; answer the damn questions, then move on, what's important to you isn't going to matter to your job candidate, what's important to them is earning an honest days pay that will cover their expenses, and their responsibilities, like making sure to fulfill their requirements to their previous employer which is something you want them to do for you when they leave.
If you can't pay enough that YOU could cover rent and a car payment off the pay, then you shouldn't be hiring, and if you can't treat your employees, and job candidates with respect, then you deserve to be a job candidate yourself instead of a business owner.

Oh you sweet summer child...

As someone who spent too many years in fast food the bosses there are extremely toxic, largely due to the fact that it is one of the easiest places to find some nieve replacement for the person who doesn't want to be on call 24/7 and work unpaid overtime.

They did say with competent management, which may be a fictional state.

Statistically there's got to be one well managed McDonald's somewhere in the world.
