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.

If the worker cannot live on the wages they are payed, that means that someone else has to cover the rest.

That someone else is often the government (e.g. Walmart employees needing food stamps)

These companies are getting labor subsidized by taxpayer money.
