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.

Spending $30 on lunch in Canada is still absurd. The food court near where I work:

$15 for iranian meat + rice (i forget what it's called sorry, best option by far though)

$12 for a japadog

$8 for two slices of pizza

Are you going to earls or some shit for lunch?

No! I swear, a single plate with a drink at a food court is now 20+$. It's insane.
