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.

If I want frozen garbage, I can buy it at any grocery store. No need to go to an overpriced place that leaves most of their floor space empty. I legit do not get trader joe's or why people like it. Easily have that place is just frozen crap, and the other half is random vegetables and candy.

My grocery store's frozen crap has never been as good, interesting, or inexpensive as it is at Trader Joe's. It's not that the stuff there is great or cheap, but there's a bit of variety that is harder to find in the Krogers and Safeways and they do switch things up so every few months there are new options. For me, between variety and C quality, vs the same basic American stuff and somewhere between F to B quality, I'll take the former. That's why I don't really get frozen stuff at Costco.
