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.

Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace (fortune.com)

It's in europe tho.

Hahaha you had us U.S kids in the first half, not gonna lie. :D

The newer trend with fancier jobs here is "unlimited paid time off"...Which sounds so amazing!

How it actually shakes out is there's no actual number of how much you can take, you're just guilted and looked at suspiciously and passed over for promotions by using any amount whatsoever.

I'm sure someone can correct me though because I've never had that. My last job gave me a rate of "A week's shift's worth of PTO per year."....I worked 19 hours a week.

(Also PTO isn't "sick" days, it's paid time off...sick and "I'm just not putiup with it today" used up the same resource.)
