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.

They have a lot of prepackaged junk but they do have good prices on bananas, blueberries and nuts. They also have a decent super high fiber, low sugar bran cereal.

I forgot to mention the little Persian cucumbers. They don’t always have them in stock at the co-op.

I get as much as I can from the farmer’s market but where I live there will never be a banana season

I'm also of the opinion that produce is seasonal and should be treated that way. Some times of the year we shouldn't have bananas, blueberries, etc. They don't care where we get the good priced fruits from. Could be Peru or Vietnam, they don't care as long as they are on the shelves for consumers to buy. That ain't how we survive a climate crisis.
