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.

Fascinating
I keep hearing it's much worse than it used to be, profits regardless
The food quality is slightly down in my opinion but that’s because he went to a safer food model.
I have a friend who works at Starbucks who’s excited about the changes. He’s a manager in Las Vegas. If he does the same at Starbucks, he pushes for internal promotions. The goal was 95% of promotions were internal.
I don’t go to Starbucks often. The coffee is expensive. The stores are unwelcoming and I don’t like their coffee much.
I avoided chipotle after the food safety issues but tried it after he said he fixed it. I go 1-2 a month now
It entirely depends on which Chipotle you walk into on what day at what time. Their ingredients are still good. There's just no consistency. It was never cheap, but at least it's still (usually) a lot of food.
