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.

yes that includes cops

Except cop "unions" aren't labor unions.

Labor unions exist to advocate for fair pay and treatment for workers.

Cop "unions" exist to make sure that cops consistently get away with crimes up to and including murder.

The former is the foundation required for a more just society, whereas the latter is a cancer killing any possibility of it.
