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.

I hate these kinds of statements. People use them all the time while meaning "well THIS state has at-will employment, so special rules apply." as if it's some unique feature of that particular state.
It isn't. 49 out of 50 states have at-will employment. That makes it the norm in the US. They don't have special rules, they just have the default rules. Only Montana has special rules because it's the only state that ISN'T at-will.
Fair point. I only mention that it is state law because it's a lot easier to change state laws than it is to adopt a federal law.
