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.

Right...in the 900 plus job applications they submitted, im sure not one of them was retail...
for refrence Walmart has had me in the "applied" stage of resumee review on their shitty website for nearly a month. I don't think people quite get how bad it is. I had to wait for a spot to open up to interview at McDonalds that I'm still waiting for because the closest one was two weeks out.
My daughter had to apply to 45 jobs before she finally got hired. I would have stopped well before that when I was a teen.
Why would you apply for retail with a degree ? It will become worthless in a couple of years.
Well,usually if you live with your parents and have no money, you are desperate for income of any kind. I personally worked for a steak n shake after college for a couple months.Had to lie about having a degree so theyd hire me. Not that different. You dont apply to these jobs thinking its your forever job. Its just something to get you by until you can finally get a job with some kind of career.
