Just say you didn't bother reading the article.

This is about the truck drivers. Now stop putting down your fellow workers for trying to earn enough to remain alive and healthy so they can continue providing their services to the company.

Exactly, it's about worker solidarity. The above person doesn't get that.

Gladly, I didn't read the article.

Hey, the truck drivers, the cart pushers, every other position at that company deserves a raise as far as I'm concerned.

But those employees at the door can lick my taint if they think they deserve anything above minimum wage for doing FUCK ALL. They don't even break eye contact from the conversation they're having with the receipt checkers when you go through.

Are you that desperate for attention that you need everyone you pass to look at you, or else you find reasons to go online and rant about them? Damn dude... That's sad. I hope you figure things out.

You're getting downvoted due to your original post, but the door checkers are annoying. They are membership validation theatre like tsa is. They already scan to validate at the register, and all you have to do to go in is claim you're going to the pharmacy anyway. The door checkers just make being a member more annoying and Costco should be punished by the members for enacting them.

Careful, you're walking on hallowed ground, talking about those chatty door boopers.

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.
