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.

in Australia we have a saying, "38 and out the gate"
I guess in America that would translate to "100 and fuck right off with this shit, I'm going home"
The company pay the health insurance, they can't just walk away, no matter what.
What a coincidence, right? Right???
Exactly. This is the system working as intended.
Do they also pay life insurance?
Watch me.
Ha! When I was driving a delivery truck for a living it was 110 outside every day, and even hotter in the truck. And loud as fuck. And just all around miserable. I didn't even get health insurance or PTO
