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.

my job has "paid sick time" but you cant use it if youre out of PTO and if you have PTO it takes off your PTO. how dumb is that. my coworker lost all his PTO by getting super sick for 2 weeks at the start of the year
Speedway and parent conpany 7 Eleven just did this this year everywhere it isn't illegal. Made it so you only have PTO time and sick time takes it out of your pto. Thankfully that's illegal in Michigan for hourly employees.
Which also has the fun situation of if you get promoted to general manager you loose your sick time because of going to salary vs hourly.
What a strange policy. So that just reduces sick leave to, what, an "unscheduled vacation"?
What's weirder is that this eliminates some incentive to schedule a vacation in advance, provided you can lie about being sick.
Sounds to me like you don't get any sick time.
Is it also at double rate, or you don't even have 28 days of vacation?
