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.

I hope that the discharged workers prevail. That much said, the monetary punishment meted out to Google won't even amount to a mere fraction of Google's profits. It's ridiculous the power that the wealthy have over us.
Seriously. Fines against corporations need to be a significant percentage of their revenue. Also executives should face jail time when their corporation breaks the law.
The status quo of corporate fines is just the cost of doing business.
Completely agree. Higher fines, jail time, mandatory cancellation of executive bonuses/raises/stock options. And it starts at the top no throwing middle managers under the bus as sacrificial lambs.
