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.

Ah, so they don't want to pay drivers for down time so they just lock people out of "clocking in" when it's slow. That's pretty shitty. Pay your drivers for being idle, just like you have to pay people for being on call.
That’s some real evil shit right there.
No, getting paid to be on call is a good thing/s
People get paid for being on call? I live in the south so maybe things are just different ~~shitty~~ here
I'm in Texas. They are shitty and looking to downgrade.
My province (BC Canada) is in the process of implementing regulations that force a minimum wage, but only when the driver is "on the job".
My first thought was that uber will just prioritize the fastest (aka most reckless) drivers. This kinda proves that point... I guess we'll see where this all goes.
They don't have to be on call though. They can drop in any time.
