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.

Me too, they just expected us to work 100 hours a week when something broke.
I'm 25 years into my career now and know enough these days to say "no" when they ask for unreasonable things like that. It can sit broken for all I care.
I am sorry my man. I am pushing 30 years on my career so I feel your pain. That's bad management and basically our bread and butter these days. They paint themselves into a corner and then pray they can summon an elder god to save their hide.
It's all good. It was only really that bad at one job, a long time ago. Now I am the one counseling my teammates for work life balance and not to let themselves be taken advantage of by the company!
