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.

Says the man that golf's more than work
Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.

I think any European politician who said anything remotely close to this would see their careers instantly over. How is it possible that saying something like this doesn't cost them votes in the US?
He said this specifically on Juneteenth so that his hateful voters agree, and those that work for businesses that donβt give a day off on Juneteenth get angry at the people who work for companies or the government that do.

Doesn't tourism help the economy? You gotta give people time off to be the consumers you want them to be.
I know nurses and other government employees who wouldn't want less mandatory holidays off, you're either off or get holiday pay to work on a Monday!
He's right. This year, everybody's gotta work Christmas.
I've been meaning to ask how donald trump intends to "make america great again" when it stopped being "great" shortly after he became president.
You can't make it worse on purpose and then make it better again and say "see! I made it great again"
But i suppose he did do that with the price of eggs. So maybe thats the plan.
Oh well! Like his cognitive function, the plan is failing,
See, he thinks what's happening IS great, so he's winning his battle. It was never to make it great for us, it was only ever to make it great for him and his ilk. Always has been, always will be.
Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year
Damn! Not that the whole bleat isn't awful, but that's one of the stupidest sentences ever in ALL of the ways! π€¦

I do hate holidays as a working stiff:
They exist only as a foil to working days- once working days are eliminated, so too will holidays be.
