Fast food lobbyists say the higher California minimum wage law led to a loss of nearly 10,000 jobs. The claim is baseless.

    Irrelevant. Studies have already been done and countries with a high minimum wage (literally 2.5x the US) have cheaper 1:1 menu items than the US.

    Corporations exist to extract as much value as possible; not provide value.

            That you are completely and utterly unable to see a predator in your midst, or worse; you’re OK with a predator in your midst, because you know you are the bigger predator.

              Are you suggesting my cat is invisible?

              I am totally fine with him being here. Except in the bedroom because he fuses

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.
