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 recall several cases of "copyright infringement" that this reminds me of.

One case was an auto-shop that was just playing music on their stereo system or whatever

another case was an elderly couple that liked to sing songs together

we really have to get the DMCA under control. it does way more harm than good

My nasal passages aren't properly developed or something so I have to regularly breathe through my mouth. Wonder if anyone can use that, a medical disorder, to sue after being fired.

Wow. This is some Orwellian nightmare fuel. I can see this becoming a thing in a lot of places if this is allowed

Amazon is trying to be the government
