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've been taking a lot of leave lately to maximise public holidays (so taking the Monday or Friday off) to give myself a 4 day weekend. It's confirmed what I always knew - other than just being available for communication/meetings (which you obviously can schedule), I do my full time role on 32 hours. That's all I need and those are productive, committed hours.
