For Amazon workers, the bevy of sales and discounts reinforces the human toll of “same-day delivery, lifetime of injury.”

I’ve tried shopping on prime day a couple of times over the years. Everything I got was exclusively the worst junk I have ever owned. Broke easily, terrible mattery life, cheaply made, etc.

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.
