It's seems that CEOs and shareholders have forgotten that the alternative to worker's rights is to be beaten to death and left to rot in the streets.

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.

Indeed. The union is the compromise. The alternative was and still is revolution. Worker consciousness is rising quickly, and organization allows for the creation of dual power. 2028 General Strike is shaping up to be not only possible, but possibly inevitable.
Fuck you Starbucks.
We're seeing a consistent fight against worker power. Keep pushing!
Why I stopped going to Starbucks.
I stopped because their coffee is all burnt to hell and their workers won't even eat their food when it's free.
Starbucks used to be decent, but at this point anything local will cost half as much and be 100x better. He'll, even a smaller chain will be 10x better - Peet's is my example.
I still go to Starbucks. Those workers sure know how to throw a picket line, I can't pass up going to a good strike!
