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.

Fine them 1% of their total profit for the last 3 years every week until the problem is fixed.
Total global revenue. Accountants can play fuck fuck games with "profit" to make hundreds of millions just disappear over to the Irish subsidiary.
Follow the EUs lead. Their fines on revenue do real damage.
Totally sticking "fuck fuck games" in my thoughtionary.
While that would be pertinent for many American companies, Dollar General only operates within the US and Mexico, and Mexico's tax rate is 9% higher for corporations.
You dropped a couple zeros there.
