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.

Can't even work from home right now. These things won't happen anytime in the near future.

it's entirely job dependent, a grocery store worker can't just decide they will not work one of the days anymore because the store needs to be open. but they work in shifts and different days already.

There will also be white collar jobs that can't just move to a different schedule, like support needs to be everyday regardless.

and if you are a software engineer there is a good chance you are already working remote and if you are good enough you are only working the days you want to.
