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 passed because I was nice and charming to the young girl giving the test.

I'm confused. Either you passed the urinalysis because there was nothing in your system (except weed, which they apparently don't care about), or because you somehow convinced the technician to fudge the numbers of a medical test? If it's the latter then wow, that's a lot of charisma...

She was just nice. Much younger than me. We had a pleasant conversation and I made her laugh. I pissed in the cup and she came and got it. She said "Hmm one of these lines is pretty high... oh well don't worry about it you passed." That was definitely weed because the other drugs I had done recently were either out of by system or they don't test for anyway. She dumped out the piss and threw the cup in the trash.

When I'm on with charisma I'm really good. Unfortunately this is almost always in professional situations. I'm awkward or drunk at parties, but people fall in love in extended one on one time. Shit's complicated and my mental health is in the dumpster.
