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.

Wait, it doesn't? I guess I didn't pay enough attention because I thought it was a $20 minimum wage for everything.
It’s only fast food restaurants that are national chains with more than 60 locations. Locations in Airports, convention centers and hospitals are exempt.
However the state minimum wage is $15/hr
Of all the exemptions, locations in airports? Where they charge you $30 for a meal just because? Unreal...
There were more on the list
Restaurants connected to or operating in conjunction with the following locations are also not covered by the law:
An airport;
A hotel;
An event center that is over 20,000 square feet or has more than 1,000 seats (for example, a sports stadium concert hall, or racetrack);
A theme park;
A museum; or A gambling establishment (for example, a card room)
Full exemption list is under question 11 https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Fast-Food-Minimum-Wage-FAQ.htm
Well you see, the reason you're paying $7 for coffee is because each cup had to go through security theater and ensure it's not bomb water or something.
