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 the immortal words of that dumbo from Blizz "do you guys not have phones?"
If you leave me in a room and give me no tasks while still paying me, you've got me on salary to slack. And I will outperform everyone. Or no one, I'm not sure which one.
And honestly figuring that out is probably not in my job description anymore.
Seems nice at first, but having worked jobs with nothing to do, time passes so slow. It’s painful.
Not for me. I can zone out for hours like it's nothing.
Used to work security. Even when on a street corner observing for state legislature meetings (no phone allowed), I played games of rearranging letters on billboards or vehicles to make new words. (They have cameras and police, I was just there as a deterrent). Wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't 18 degrees F and 32mph winds...
