    And most major metro areas have their own minimum wage separate from the state.

      Jesus, just stop typing.

      You’re been wrong at every turn because you’re the shining example the embodiment of the dunning-kruger effect. So confidently incorrect even with literal research at your fingertips that you refuse to use.

      It’s embarrassing.

        Listen, I don’t give a fuck about what the rural hicks make. Where most people live, in cities, the minimum wage is significantly higher.

        Further, virtually nobody makes minimum wage anyway. Fewer than 1%.

          You attempted to move the goalposts twice in a single comment, impressive.

      Nope. currently, 67 counties and cities do: https://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/inventory-of-us-city-and-county-minimum-wage-ordinances/

      And half the population lives in what are considered “rural” areas.

      Edit: I guess that last part isn’t true anymore. Only 20%.

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.
