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.

So people needing a rideshare at the Airport should jump on the MARTA (light rail) at the airport and take it one stop away to get their Lyft/Uber?
Most travelers won't want to learn a new rail system. They'll probably just get a cab at the stand.
I'm from Australia; Everyone I know will default to public transport when travelling. My partner and I normally book our accommodation with public transport in mind.
Using a different public transport system is really not that big a deal...
I've been ripped off by enough cab drivers across the United States that I only use taxi cabs as a very last resort.
