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.

Don't get me wrong I really do like working remotely. However, being able to walk to a person's desk when they have been ignoring your emails is power move I miss having access to. I have been emailing this guy for two weeks and getting nothing. I have been including his manager on the emails, still getting nothing. The next person up is the CFO and I have already been told no I can't include them on the email thread.

Even when I worked in an office, I would send ALL my important correspondence via email. An email provides CYA evidence. Talking to someone in person does not.

Edit: if it's really that important and your still not getting answers, YOUR supervisor should be the one pitching a fit at the party's concerned. Making sure you can do your job is their job.

CYA is very important but some time you just need to get shit done and this is where we are at. My manager and director are both working it too.
