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.

yeah, that pizza looks fire right about now
It's nice that they brought me a little pizza but what are the other colleagues going to eat?
Honestly, like the only time I'd be okay with just getting pizza instead of a raise would be something like this, and only if everyone gets their own.
It's radical time.
TMNT radicalised the 90s children.
I see your anti-union pizza, and raise you my final-day-at-work box of donut!
And a new play room with ping pong and table soccer!
Every time that you use the play room will be written in your performance review.
Management: “If you have time to actually use that break room, it means you don’t have enough work on your plate. We noticed you’re spending 5% of your time in the break room, so we’re increasing your metrics goals by 10%.”
Who are the house slaves that are downvoting this? Maybe those Lemmy users who one day hope to own their own multi billion dollar, anti union corporation.
If you're trying to unionize, that's their cue to unconditionally raise pay and benefits, and manage hazards and overtime demands.
If the bosses aren't scramblingy to make the workplace not a hell hole, then a union is necessary and if the union fails, it's time to move on and / or burn down the workplace.
I know a place that makes those for like fifty for a pepperoni and fuck. I'm trying to do the calculations in my head of how much weed I'd need and how much I'd get down before I'd puke, how many friends I'd need to invite over, how many new friends I'd need to make. They're not half bad either just greasy.
