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.

I’m all for ending the exploitation of workers in this country, but I’m curious how this bill will pan out. One big part of someone doing contracted work is that they cannot be required to abide by specific work hours dictated by the company. As of now, these delivery people decide when they want to work. Will DoorDash now set specific hours for their drivers? Will drivers only get paid the hourly wage when actively on deliveries? There are a lot of details I’m curious about here
