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.

Get off the golf course yourself then you orange turd
I dont know, seems like the golf course is the absolute best place for him to be.
Happens in Germany too right now. People really need to find back to Unions and take more Power over their rights, before they just Cut it off
Happening all over the globe. The capitalist hegemony is getting scared because their system is collapsing in on itself and, through the imperial boomerang, are beginning to employ practices only performed abroad on the interior in order to maintain their power. The US is just far ahead of the curve due to its lack of a functioning political leftwing keeping things in check.
Now is most certainly the time for people to unionize and start relearning why unions formed in the first place: so workers can band together to exert their political will and take ownership over their workplace from a parasitic class that has only ever existed to exploit our labor.
Says the obese pig to whom EVERY day is a holiday and a reason to golf. I never knew that POTUS was a part time position. America is fucked if there's ever a crisis before 11:00am, on a week end, or on a golfing day......
11 am? Hey he gets up daily at 4 am and "truths" on his website for a couple hours while on the toilet
Quel con !
I've been meaning to ask how donald trump intends to "make america great again" when it stopped being "great" shortly after he became president.
You can't make it worse on purpose and then make it better again and say "see! I made it great again"
But i suppose he did do that with the price of eggs. So maybe thats the plan.
Oh well! Like his cognitive function, the plan is failing,
See, he thinks what's happening IS great, so he's winning his battle. It was never to make it great for us, it was only ever to make it great for him and his ilk. Always has been, always will be.
Don't these holidays cost owners rather than workers, though?
I used to love working holidays as a single guy for that double pay. 🤑
No holidays means only 1x pay 👎 nevermind if you just wanted to take the day off without getting docked.
Nah F that, most Americans barley get any paid time off if any. If anything we need MORE.
They mostly don't get any of those "holidays" paid anyway which is why they don't like them. You're lucky if you get Christmas and Thanksgiving paid on top of your two weeks of PTO. The rest are days the banks close and some other places give their people unpaid days off.
Yeah, it's hilarious to hear "workers want less" when what they really mean is less forced unpaid time off, obviously if they want money they'd want to work. I'm sure those people would prefer paid time off to having to work.
Afaik, what he does is called manufacturing consent.
maybe there are too many non-working presidents right now?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Translation: we shouldn’t give black people in america a federal holiday because i am a racist and demented old man who is increasingly irrelevant in society.
demented old man who is increasingly irrelevant in society.
Trump: And I will make sure I go out with a bang and take everybody with me!
If he takes all of his cronies with him, that'd be great.
Technically, there is no law requiring a company to provide PTO or close on Holidays. Its up to the company, not this stupid bastard.
The government is however required to give most employees several days off throughout the year which might be what he’s bitching about
This guy LITERALLY raped a 13 year old back in the day, and only golfs.
Biggest problem with non-working "holidays" is that they only apply to certain more privileged people who also get paid to not work. Everyone else either sits at home unpaid for the day, or has to work (most often without any additional compensation) to support those who do get the paid day off.
It’s not actually a privilege to have paid time off and paid holidays, it’s the norm across the developed world. United States is just creepy
Didn't he just create like two new holidays?
“The workers don’t want it”. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.
Workers. Hate. Paid. Holidays.
We've been saying it for years, but nobody listens. The liberal nanny state keeps forcing me to stay home, spend time with my family, or even go on vacation, when all I really want to do is stare at spreadsheets for another eight hours.
Enough is enough!

In all fairness, Trump is just a moldy, hollowed-out Golem. Every Juneteenth, Stephen Miller shmooshes his shiny dome straight into Trump's rear end and starts flicking and vibrating his tongue across Donnie's prostate like it's a musical instrument carved from rotting cheese, inducing a flurry of nerve impulses that spread through Trump's spine and into his abnormally short, sticky sausage fingers, where they smear out the latest batch of vile racist garbage.

Like everything he says/does there is a slight truth buried deep in there.
Some 'workers' really don't want it. They are called corporate middle management. They don't want the wage slaves to disrupt profit or crowd the spaces that they will be using because management will still take the day off.
I don’t think you are seeing the issue clearly. If you don’t want a day off it’s because your wages are not high enough.
You are wrong. There is zero truth in this post.
Nah, the people who don't want it are hourly workers who are living paycheck to paycheck, which is tens of millions of workers.
The sad truth is he's right, but the reason is that for these people, missing out on $80 could be the difference between paying the water bill or not this month.
It's not that people love to work so much that they hate missing a day, it's that they can't afford to not work a day.
There's a big difference between "want" and "have to"...... No-one "wants' to work more, but many people "have to".
Yes people don’t want to work more, they need more money. This does not translate to they want less time off…
It’s a completely backwards way of seeing the problem.
And it is completely invalid.
