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.

Because corporations paid for rental contracts for many years ahead, and also because a lot of local businesses depends on people buying expensive coffees and lunches to stay afloat.
This is why media is pushing for it, because the people who owns the media is also owning those restaurants and coffee places.
It always, always is about money in capitalism. I'm surprised this article comes from CNN to be honest. How did it get through the wall of groupthink.
It's really about propping up the value of commercial real estate. If commercial real estate implodes, we would have another financial crisis.
This financial system is stable like a deck of cards...
Rock solid then, nothing to worry about.
Realized I wrote brick... :)
