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.

Google does a really good job convincing you they care with the shuttle system, cafeterias, break spaces, and otherwise.

It convinces you to work more than you would otherwise, too (sure, why not finish up that task on the shuttle with WiFi... Hey I'll just grab food here instead of go home. Food at home cost money anyway... Lemme just finish that thing before heading home now that I've had dinner...)
