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.

Genuinely happy for everyone involved in this story. The real test will be how much top line revenues are impacted when the higher menu prices kick in next month.
A full platter of food is $10.39, you raise that 6% and you get $11.01 as your price. I think they're going to do fine.
Imagine if everyone paid enough then everyone could afford to buy shit so the businesses would actually make more. ๐คฏ
