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.

The same extension of contract thung happened with me as well. In the team standup my manager announced my contract will get renewed but that day evening I was welcomed with the news of two days notice period. It's a very fresh wound at the moment so need to let it heal
I'm so sorry that's happened to you. My husband works for a smaller company providing services to the mining companies. A few years ago he asked me if they should sponsor someone employed there.
I told him yes, that we had a responsibility to look after people trying to do the right things and make a life here.
Unfortunately it is far too common for companies to take advantage, forgetting that these are people with lives.
I hope you find a great position with good people who value you. ❤️
