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.

Retirees and employees at Disney World are losing their perks under the new district board, which says benefits like park passes are unethical.

Firefighters — who once backed the DeSantis takeover — are among those furious about the changes

"I didn't think the leopards would eat my face."

benefits like park passes are unethical.

Wtf. Perks are win-win. It's a trivial expense to allow employees to use existing company assets, but it's very valuable to the employees. Boss gets happy employees for less expense. Both sides are happy. No, that's bad because:

"Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God," the passage began. "And those which exist are established by God. Therefore, whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves."

Ok, I didn't see anything about perks there, but this logic supports gassing Jews (what the local authority wanted) and condemns smuggling them out of Germany (opposing God apparently).

These people are dangerously insane.
