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.

The NLRB’s action adds another dimension to the Biden administration’s assault on noncompetes. The FTC proposed a ban on most noncompete agreements earlier this year.

Good news. They mention that the law doesn't apply to managers, I wonder how they define that? As an example, I have "director" in my title, but don't have any direct reports, and have kind of dotted line people who have different official supervisors.

It’s clearly laid out in the National Labor Relations Act as what a “supervisor” is. If you do any of the activities you are a supervisor. As a director you probably have the “responsibility to direct” employees, which would make you a supervisor.
