      Clearly there would be a bias there, but are they wrong?

      While I’m one that normally would suspect such a thing myself, honestly, they wouldn’t need to, they already have such a great rep in the states where they’re located.

          I’m not shilling, I’m not paid by them at all, but honestly, I’m a lifetime customer of theirs. I wish all companies were like them.

          If you had actually gone back and read any of my posting history here and/or on YouTube comments, you wouldn’t say what you’re saying.

          I am no fan of most corporations.

        The beauty of lemmy is that if you can come up with a way to do that effectively, you can just host your own instance that does that.

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.
