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.

amazon actually pays decent for its worker accumulates pto faster than WF chain they own now, but a warehouse job is really brutal in any job. very easy to get injured through repetition wear and tear, and you have metric and watched like a hawk by the managers there. i know someone that worked at the smaller ones.
the hours are brutal thats why theres high turnover.
To me that sounds like: Once you get used to getting your liver eaten it's fine, the eagle is actually a good conversationalist.
