Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

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.

It is not that easy. It is not a question of can we feed people but can we get the food to them. Produce that doesn't sell is not going to last shipping again.
There are starving people outside the grocery stores...
Who will not eat fresh produce. It takes a lot of work to prepare a healthy meal from scratch; with employers not giving us enough time and money to invest into healthy, tasty, varied meals, people resort to eating fast junk.
If we build centers for distributing food people will come.
Don't worry, I'm sure that there are kitchens less than a day's drive away
I don't think critics realize supermarkets need their millions to buy the next batches of food.
