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.

Minimal pay = minimal effort. I don't need a manager to coach me. What I need is more money so I feel valued instead of some disposable equipment. I need to not be actively screwed over by other coworkers. There's a lot that can be done to increase moral and more management is not it. Most people are happy with work if it's not a hostile environment because surprise, it feels good to have done a good job.

Exactly. A good manager is one who shields you from upper management bullshit and lets you do your thing, your way, so long as you contribute your part to the team.
