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.

If you drive a lot, then just the gas savings alone will cover the cost of membership.

Their membership fee is $60 which I cover in a few cases of beer. I pay what I paid for a case of beer ten years ago at Costco. They don't have everything, but what they do have is often a much, much better value than any other store I've shopped at.

They also only carry good brands, unlike the shit you'll find at Target and Walmart. If Costco carries it, it's almost certainly high quality.
