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 had thought that they were going after more retirement benefits, only thing I saw in the article was a $ 5k 401k contribution. The comments didn't make sense calling this deal something that would help them to "retire with dignity" whatever that means. Would have been cool (but next to impossible) if they would have gotten back some sort of pension.
Sounds like they caved to Boeing's threats to come back with worse offers after this one.
