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.

That would be awesome!
UAW is working on it!
The Swedish union IF Metal is currently striking on Tesla, and the conflict has resulted in many other unions entering their own strikes targeting Tesla in solidarity. One of them, SEKO which handles deliveries have prevented Tesla from acquiring license plates and they have sued the Swedish government for this because Tesla cannot get their license plates now.
For the other strikers they've used all manner of underhanded tactics to dodge the strike. Scabs, alternative suppliers for foreign countries, etc.
They're fighting tooth and nail against unions. It's disgraceful.
Yeah the dock workers folded
Would love to join a union. I’m in biotech though and don’t know of any. If anyone does, drop a message below!
I sure hope they are bobbing and juking like they did with the misinformation about the strike timing.
It would be great to talk about one plant and unionize another suddenly.
Oh!
UAW are trying out new ways, as we have seen with the strikes this year.
You may be on to something!
