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.

If it were me I’d set up a makeshift work station in obnoxious locations. Make it really obvious I wasn’t given a proper place to work and make it seen by all the higher ups and visitors. Do it every day. Change locations so it’s always new spots. Always in locations where people bottle neck so they can’t avoid you.
If I have to take it to the next level then I start working on the floor. Get my charging cable out so it stretches across the floor. Set out a bunch of papers all across the floor to make it look like I’m working on something big. Make people have to walk around your papers to avoid interrupting your work.
No doubt people start taking and asking questions. Then you start throwing around how much work you have to do but have no proper place to do it so you’re doing everything in your power to get by and get the job done. Then be sure to loudly excuse yourself from the conversation and make sure they know you have a big dead line and don’t have time for chit chat.
Your new desk:

"Oh, hi there. If you didn't schedule an appointment you're gonna have to take the stairs."
