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.

I mean they could, if they had their own app. It's like how something like Angie's list has its own rules to. It's a shit setup but it's not wrong.
Im suprised there isn't something like you see with all those booking apps. Like if run, say, a barber shop, apps that'll handle booking and payment are a dime a dozen (and obviously you set your own prices). The app gets a cut but it's priced for what it is: software providing a value, not like Uber/Lyft where the cut is "fuck you what are you going to do about it".
