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.

Im super annoyed at my company. I keep reccomending ppl and they keep ghosting them or doing internal transfers. Like why waste months of time posting role?
They already know who they want in the position. Leaving it open is just to give some coverage that they considered other candidates even when they have no intention to do so.
Feels so disrespectful to:
Like i get holding out for some candidates but 6 months !?
