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.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with SpaceX earlier this week, ruling that the National Labor Relations Board’s current structure is unconstitutional. The decision will keep the agency hamstrung until the case makes its way to the Supreme Court.

I've seen the fifth circuit described as "a collection of 4chan posts wearing robes," so yes.

Edit: But it's pretty clear that this supreme court is angling pretty hard to overturn a 1930s precedent called Humphrey's Executor. Humphrey's is the case that legalizes executive agencies led by multi-member commissions that can't be immediately fired by the President. That includes the merit protection board, FCC, NLRB, CPSC, CFPB, and the federal reserve, among others.

This case is just a part of that bigger campaign, which will wildly reshape the federal bureaucracy for a long time to come.
