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.

This is how you become one of the richest men in the world while keeping your workers so poor they're often on food stamps.

Can we please start maiming and crippling those at the top who exhibit such cruel behaviors? Our society would be so much healthier if the rich feared the working classes as there were daily visual reminders of what being too greedy caused people to do to them. Nowadays, the cops fight for companies and not people....

Reading this makes it sound like even in places with decent labor laws, it's not enough because this highly organized conspiracy of deep surveillance, purposeful emotional manipulation, and the implied threat of withdrawing business entirely from an area rather than negotiate with a union is very effective regardless, without necessarily breaking the law.

To repourse a quote. If you have a national business you need a national union.

The rest I feel like needs more people to freak out about how deeply sinister and unsettling those practices are, but maybe there are better routes.
