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.

It's great to see Yelp buck the RTO trend. It seems they believe what's best for their employees is also benefit to the company. I wish others would do the same.

As always to state the obvious:

The commute time is time spent for work, but having no productivity. A one hour commute on a 40 hour week means 20% of time wasted unproductively. The employee needs to calculate the commute in his salary options, even if the company isn't directly paying for it.

So a rational company would only reject remote work, if the on site productivity is so much higher than the remote productivity, that it offsets the commute loss. For the shop floor that is a no brainer. For office work it is indicative of terrible management.
