I give up 20% of my paycheck to work 4 days a week.

I work 4 10s, and would want +25% to go to 5 8s.

I would demand a 33% pay increase as they are cutting out 33% of your free ~~time~~ days.

Free days* - it's the same amount of free time, but having a whole day free is much different than having extra hours free on a work day.

I suspect the folks upstairs have some change to spare.

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.
