    Paywalled medium article? I’ll pass.

    Fuck employers that steal from their employees paychecks though.

        The page just deletes itself for me when using that. It loads and .5 second later it just goes blank. They really don’t want people to bypass it.

            That’s what I chose and it also worked for me

            1. Only 1 in 4 repeat wage theft offenders get fined, despite violating federal wage laws more than once.

            The prevalence of wage theft is a stark reminder of the need for stronger enforcement of labor laws and increased protections for workers. It is a moral imperative for policymakers, labor advocates, and the public to prioritize this issue and hold employers accountable for their illegal actions.

            Wage theft is not just a financial crime; it is a violation of the fundamental rights and dignity of workers. Until this epidemic is addressed, the promise of a fair and just workplace will remain elusive for millions of Americans.

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.
