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.

The concept is explained much better in the link, but TLDR: People are trying to organize and crowdfund the purchase of spirit airlines assets with the goal of running it as a worker owned business similar to winco or rei. Seems at least tangentially relevant to this community

For public facing companies I kind of prefer this tbh. It also makes sense from a raising funds perspective (more owners to pay in). Employees should have voting rights and Coop or not, the union needs to exist to protect their interest too
