Does my 1 hour each way commute count as time to myself? Because my company certainly seems to think so

Good news, that's the reason my city has the worst possible public transportation. So now you have to take a car and get all of that time to yourself! They're just looking out for you and your well-being.

This guy makes a lot of sense. I support him fighting this fight.

Calling out "people who don't want to work" is great.

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.
