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.

And the fun thing of 'fired at will' is that it is enshrined in so-called 'Right to Work' laws. The evil would be hilarious is it wasn't so horrible.
No, you're wrong here. 'Right to Work' laws are about preventing unions from controlling an entire workplace, forcing new employees to join the union. 'At-Will Employment' laws are entirely seperate from that.
Yea there tends to be a disconnect at the “right to be fired” part.
