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.

Do like the French would; Oh, you want to break up a strike? Enjoy the whole country being on strike, including the truck drivers who are now blocking all mayor roads and border crossings.
It is amazing how often the regime comes down to break a strike... As if they don't actually rule om behalf of the people.
Do, if you are at work, you should be paid. Do we only pay servers when they are actively waiting on tables? Do we only pay cooks when they are cooking your food. Do we only pay retail workers when they are dealing with a customer? Pay them to be there or get the fuck out of here.
Do we only pay servers if they're waiting tables?
Yes, actually. In the USA anyway. They're paid very low wages and that's a very common form of wage theft that goes unchecked and unreported: restaurants required servers to do pre-shift work at their normal sub-minimum-wage pay with no hope of making tips during that time. It's illegal but happens all the time
Notice you did say wage though, right?! I don't agree with it either, but flight attendant don't get shit until the plane is in the air or something ridiculous. Not a cent.
