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.

This is a good read albeit a terrible site for mobile.

I really hope these women get everything they're asking for. There is nothing egregious in their demands, just completely reasonable asks.

When Caitlin Clark joined the league, the WNBA struck gold. All they need to do is not fuck it up and they will enjoy expansion and success. The counter offers have no substance other than greed, and the comments made by the commissioner are disgusting. This is the best and maybe only opportunity that these players will have at forcing significant change in the league, and based on the cited number that about 80% of the players set their contracts to end now so they can fight together, they have a real chance at success.

Best of lucky, ladies.
