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.

Its nearly time for a general strike

Nearly??? So long overdue!!!

In the 1980s when Regean fired all unionized Air-Traffic-Control and replaced them using the military. USA workers did nothing, and that's when they lost the game folks! THAT was the moment, do or die, national general strike or.. They COULD still knock over the table and walk out of the casino.... any day now... in the last 40 years... maybe tomorrow... day after?...

PS Some kids cutting class on a Friday or Monday every 3 months is NOT a general strike!

The USA general population has been an insult to the entire world history of resistance and protest, since the late 1960s, so fuck you very much for abandoning your watch and dooming us all, you weak ass-hats.

It was the boomers who sold us out to Ronnie Rayguns and the Heritage pricks, then beat compliance into us.

Its a slow process, but people are coming around.
