    Why should a full-time employer be permitted to pay an employee less than it costs to merely survive? It’s like you WANT to live in a culture where humans are exploited and thrown away when they break.

    Edit: NVM, I see from the rest of the thread that you are not participating in good faith, and your responses will be blocked from reaching me.

        You sounds like you’ve never held a job before and these terms are brand new to you. You’re using them wrong.

        I’m hourly and make a good living wage, are you implying that hourly means you don’t work full time or should be entitled to a livable wage?

            The workers who are responsible for the continued function of society aren’t owed anything?

                I’m not Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates, I’m not the one stealing their surplus value. I’d be happy to help them take back what they’re owed though.

                    Already on it, that’s kind of the core of all of my political activity and organizing.

        I get paid by the hour, 50 years old. And the same job for 20 years. Full time.

            Fulltime is typically defined as 40 hours a week max, but the threshold is lower for definitions like the ACA, you can be eligible as low as 30, and sometimes employers have to make you eligible as high as 36, it’s complicated.

              It’s not really complicated, it’s just that companies want to find (or make!) loopholes to shirk their responsibilities.

        Hourly can be fulltime.

            You are wrong and have always been wrong. It is based on worked (scheduled hours) in a week. Above a threshold, and it is considered full-time.

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.
