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.

How would they know they are faking it? Not all sickness is visible.

Exactly. Unless for some reason these bosses are all trained medical doctors, aren't the medical notes, emitted by medical doctors I'm assuming, enough to show they aren't faking it?

The thing is, I never heard any employer actually doing this. I knew they could do it. But until now I thought even the densest boss would shy away from risking a legal enema.

Yeah I'd even go so far as to say what if it's a mental health day. Those are totally valid for preventing mini burnouts.
