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.

“While they were being very competitive externally, they were threatening internal equity and internal incentives,” Pollak said. “There needs to be some [salary] growth year after year to keep people around and to keep them engaged.”

Translation: “If we advertise at market rates, our employees might figure out they’re all being underpaid.”

These same companies: "Nobody wants to work."

I'm currently being underpaid roughly 12 to 20k compared to my coworkers because my job title is slightly different. Yet I'm the one training all of them. I'm going to leave when I can but I've been stuck for a while. Might have to find a completely different job/career eventually.
