    62% over 6 years, so like 10% a year which is still not bad, but not the same 62% lump sum like the headline suggests.

        62% right now and no increase for the six following years is actually more generous than what they got.

    Just a reminder that if you’re too important for you to be able to legally strike, it’s all the more important that you strike anyway.

          So long as it isn’t one of your land-barge monstrosities, then OK.

          Our roads here in Europe hate those things.

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.
