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.

I'm going to wager this was implemented to keep drivers from talking on the phone all day and because it's using machine vision it doesn't know the difference.

Exactly what I was thinking. I wish I was an extrovert. I enjoy the occasional phone call but mostly I just wish I could hang up, even with friends.

My main USPS worker talks on the phone at all times. I see her every weekend and she is NEVER not excitedly or angrily talking on her earbuds. I bet it makes work a lot better for her but holy shit who can just talk on the phone literally all day long.
