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.

The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

The truth is these companies won't give in unless the strike starts hitting their revenue.. there needs to be a lot of shows on hold and garbage movies produced over time due to lack of good writers, only then something will happen.. which i think is going to be a long fight. I'm hopeful that some good comes out of this strike for the labour.
