I'm gonna put in minimum effort regardless of pay. It's capitalism. I'm being forced to work so I don't die. I don't want to work. But since I have to, I will do the bare minimum.

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.

Minimum wage doesn’t even really apply anymore since it has not been updated in forever. It really should be $20 an hour now.
Wow very aggressive comments (left leaning) in here!
Everybody is thinking about the workers, but did anyone stop and think about the shareholders for a minute? Do you know the calorific power of a $1 bill, compared to a $100 bill? Well, it's actually the same because they have the same size and composition. But the emotional heat they produce is not the same at all. You have to burn a very large amount of $1 bills to warm our hearts. And it's a lot of work. For our servants anyway. Increase the wages, and you reduce the number of large denomination bills we can burn in our marble chimneys. That literally makes us sad.
Think about it. By increasing the workers wage, what you really do is pile up more misery on the shareholders.
Please 🙏 🥺 we need this. Well not really but hey
Can we get a wiki going of files for awesome stickers like this one that people can print off?
That Bass Pro Choice in the background is cool, too!
I’d like this but in like 10 different brands.
Minimum wage = minimum effort from me
This is my motto, my teenage daughter is going into the work force eventually and I drill this into her head, i also remind her that your coworkers aren’t your family and your boss is not your friend. Don’t do “favours” for your employer who can afford to pay you, do favours for your friends not your job
"We're a family here" = "We will disregard any boundary you set up for your work/life balance because we are both your work and life now."
We need a maximum wage, for maximum effort
stickers by me!
Maybe we should talk! I've got a few ideas for stickers and patches I want to make but I can't design for shit.
yes! i got you, message me!
Yup. Big believer in act your wage and im not sure 21 is an adult in that context.
Fun experiment next time you're at Wendy's. Ask a worker their salary.
Why is Pippi Långstrump on the top?
This sticker is based on the Wendy's logo. The restaurant was named after the founder's daughter and the picture of the girl on the logo is based on her.
What kind of weak ass question is that?
Pippi and her magic horse are about rebellion, about political and social upheaval. Why with a single hand, she can topple oppressive regimes and free the proletariat.
Minium wage food for minium wage workers. Be kind to your neighbor, unless their hat is red.
fair and square
If you abuse cattle for a living and fish for a hobby, why should I lift a finger to help. Helping you harms those I love incalculably more than it aids you.
What if I told you I don't fish?
