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.

The real question is why would you want to be rehired. I understand a settlement check but I mean were you really digging the job that much to begin with?
Much more important to dig your job than have food on the table and roof over your head.
You are right, Starbucks has a monopoly on high paying careers.. plus the perks..free coffee and an unlimited supply of shitheads. Go on man lol
Everyone has access to high paying career alternatives, sure bro.
Who's fault is that??? Are you saying that these people live in the wilderness area with only Starbucks? You choose to work at a place that serves coffee.. a janitor makes more, a landscaper makes more.. hell be a bartender...it's basically a barista with alcohol and a lot better tips.. brotato chip ๐
Yeah, we get it. You are really cool. What I am actually saying is that in capitalist society there are people who have no other viable options than to sell their labor for survival. This skews the power dynamics so that the employers may dictate the terms of their agreement. If all the other jobs available to these people fall under the same category, they are fucked.
I wouldn't expect such a cool person^TM^ as yourself to understand this though, much less sympathize with the plight of those in question. Keep on being an ass ๐
My latte ain't gonna make itself boy, chop chop
Must be difficult for you to be such a loser.
