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.

Hustle culture has infected America. But the truth is, the only real way to get ahead isn’t by working harder or out-competing your co-workers -- it’s by teaming up and collectively REFUSING to work.

I only wish he made one a little less in the old "College Humor" style. Because, while this is excellent for the public, I can't send this to the one staunch anti-union nurse on my unit and expect her to listen to a word of it.

If anyone knows some "gentler" but equally as well-sourced information, please let me know! This nurse complains right along with us all "they can't do this!" but apparently has swallowed whole some kind of anti-union propaganda that I just don't understand.
