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.

In the US Father's Day and Juneteenth are the same weekend and some places are doing a 3 day weekend
Juneteenth is a federal holiday, but private employers don't have to observe it. Mine sure doesn't. I have never heard of any employer observing Mother's or Father's day with a paid holiday.
If we're making rules, I'd take voting day over mother's day any time.
They should just commit to 4 day work-weeks.
Fuck yeah
I‘ve made that (30h work week) possible for myself by living frugally and not having children, though I hope eventually this desire can reach the unions all the rest too. 4 day week at full pay would be so nice!
