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.

Lol. This country just voted to move in the opposite direction of this. We voted for less worker rights. Less power for the average person.

At this point, we'll need to start utilizing our 2nd amendment right if we want to get anything better than what we have. People died to give us the 40 hour work week. Looks like that's going to have to happen again for any further improvements.

Smarter countries did it without the bloodshed. America isn't that smart.

My dipshit coworkers think trump will actually be good for unions. Mfers.

I'd like to add that 32 hour weeks is pretty much purely something that works for white collar work. It's considerably harder to implement in blue collar settings.

The mental gymnastics required to believe that hurt my brain.
