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 I agree that that’s a shitty norm that we have here, it also goes both ways. The first job I had out of college, I had a coworker who was a pretty solid engineer, and kept getting handed random bullshit assignments. She tried for months to get management to stop fucking her over, to no avail. The next time she was in a meeting and they tried to foist another thing on her she was like “ok, nope. I’m done”, left the room, left the building, and never came back.
At the end of the day, there is a hard limit to how far you can push people, and you will definitely know it when you hit it.
We usually have a probation period where each party can just say this isn't for them. Then they can just terminate the work agreement from one day to the next. It's usually a few months.
