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.

I'm a California restaurant operator preparing for the $20-an-hour fast-food wage by trimming hours, eliminating employee vacation, and raising menu prices (www.businessinsider.com)

None of the service minded people will be jumping ship lol. Earning california minimum wage plus tips is better than a fast food $20. Non front of house might try and jump over, but they aren't the service minded people he talks about and the "teens" he claims to worry about can just take those open casual dining jobs or casual dining can just raise their pay for back of house until they can keep workers. What a nonce.
