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.

Whole Maryland office is being "consolidated" with Austin. They offered to move us to Austin if we want. How fucking generous.

Assholes at the top are the reason they're losing money, production as far as I can tell was quite lean and putting out lots of product. They're just gonna lop an arm off and hope it works out, and fuck the rest of us now out of a job cause they can't balance overhead.

It only ever was weird in the most middle class, white, liberal definition of the word.

Having come out of the music scene in that part of the US, I vehemently disagree. There used to be some really cool weird shit. That’s been displaced now and the slogan has been co-opted, sure, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t rad as fuck a couple of decades ago.
