Earlier today, the UAW announced they had filed for a historic union election at Volkswagen’s plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The union announced that more than 70% of the plant had signed union cards, giving them a margin of support large enough that they felt confident enough to proceed with a union election.

Workers there say they are fed up with low pay, lack of paid time off, and unsafe working conditions.

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.
