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.

Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation. (www.usatoday.com)

My experience is that in person and remote favors different sorts of tasks. For me I have both so I think hybrid is the most 'productive', though I'm much happier with the 'remote'.

So on pure productivity, I could see some roles favor in-person.

But if you want to more cheaply recruit and retain, favoring remote is certainly going to help.

I really want a new normal of shorter hours, though that might be a trickier discussion so long as we have very highly utilized labor pool.

Productivity has been universally higher on every job that moved to remote, tracks those metrics and makes them public.
