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.

Honestly, while that's good, I still think it's not enough. It takes effect over 3 years and still barely beats out McDonald's.

I'm concerned they don't respect long term cast members enough and this will probably, once again, reset their pay to the same as newly hired employees. 50 cents an hour extra for working there 10 years is a pittance.

Specialty locations are probably still getting paid 25 cents more an hour (which might have been meaningful when wages were under $10/hr.

I wonder if their pay premium for leads has increased from the $1.50/hr that it was.

I will say that pay alone is only a small portion of what those contract negotiations should be.
