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.

The store manager said they are a salaried employee, so they are “essentially working in the pharmacy for free” to give their staff extra support.

Not sustainable. These managers are in an impossible position. On one hand, their staff needs the extra help, but when managers let themselves be exploited like this, the corporate decision makers have no incentive to change their policies.
