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.

No one is forcing anyone to be closed on holidays! There's no law or rule or anything!

Banks don't have to close and work absolute shit hours because they handle money!

You wanna make more money stay open on holidays.

I work in appliance repair I get the 4th of July, thanksgiving and Christmas and new years.

It sucks. But we make more money.

300 million people can't have a single fucking day off every once in a while because it will "cost billions", while less than 10 people are hoarding over a TRILLION in wealth.

Back to the days of peasants petitioning the lord to restore their holy days

Too many non-working presidents and billionaires in your country.

You know those tropes in old cartoons where overworked factory workers are given a union-mandated 3-minute lunch break? That's the future of America.

Hoffa and JFK got whacked for less than this.
