Think about all the incredible tech advancements and the huge increase in worker productivity that have come with it. Are working people really benefiting?

    I would honestly be a better developer if this was enacted.

      Don’t worry, you’d still be exempt.

    The problem is: they don’t care one bit. :-(

      Of course not. We have to use our bargaining power to make them care. But first people have to be aware of the idea. I’m glad this is getting some mainstream coverage here.

    I’ve been taking a lot of leave lately to maximise public holidays (so taking the Monday or Friday off) to give myself a 4 day weekend. It’s confirmed what I always knew - other than just being available for communication/meetings (which you obviously can schedule), I do my full time role on 32 hours. That’s all I need and those are productive, committed hours.

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.
