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.

If you are one of the people who dread forced holiday fun, it may be a surprise for you to learn that some companies actually require attendance at work social events — either explicitly or implicitly.

I've never heard of a company requiring attendance. And if they do, they must pay, employment law 101.

This is a not a helpful article unless you lack social skills, and if that's the case, you may not want to attend such an event.
