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.

From the article:
Wow, its almost like companies have taken away all the incentives to work!
So that's why no one wants to work anymore!
Nah can't be the company's fault, could only be due to lazy workers now /s
I dong get it. We bought them a pizza just like 12 million dollar consultant suggested. They are supposed to make the green line go up now.
Beatings will continue until morale improves!
What is a totally reasonable demand. Ask a CEO if he would do his work if he would get paid peanuts.
Assuming the CEO does any real "work"
The career growth is really amazing. I work at a unionized place that is required to fill positions internally before outside hires. When a senior employee retires from a top level position it will be filled by someone at the company. Typically someone in a mid level position. Then there's a chain effect where now that mid level position is open that will go to entry level workers. The only outside hires tend to be for entry level jobs.
It's great because when you talk to the senior staff, almost all of them started at the bottom and worked their way up. This gives them better knowledge of how the whole operation works since they've done the jobs below them, and also a little empathy!
Sounds awesome! Are y'all hiring?
I hate this kind of thing, it creates a hirarical culture instead of promoting people by merit. Basically younger people get screwed in favor of older people. It also means that nothing will ever change within the company.
Compromise: I can do mandatory work outings and a ping pong table.
