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.

My employer is asking me to come in 3x a week when on the bench. Maybe 2x when assigned on a project.

I don't live far from work, but I spend on bus tickets just to go to and come back from the office. Buying a monthly bus pass isn't worth it for me considering how much I go out. The bus fare increased quite a bit in the past 5 years.

Plus I have to buy lunch everytime I go because I can't carry a lunch with an the equipment. And food from restaurants or food courts have become ridiculously expensive.

I'd be willing to go once or twice a week. More than that is useless and costly.
