    Isn’t this the normal state of French Canadians though? Don’t get me wrong, I love their attitude.

        From my limited experience they work, just at their own convenience. We should be more like them.

            Nah, it’s a long bread joke, it didn’t come from the baguette region of France.

    The govt added an extra .5% per year to the deal. Giving the workers a whole 12.7 over 5 years. That’s nothing and they obviously don’t want to bargain in earnest.

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.
