Unionized Google workers learned their jobs were over while testifying to City Council about why they need higher pay

Contracted tech workers say they're paid as low as $19 hourly in expensive metro. Google and contractor Cognizant say their contract was due to end.

We really have become a society that thrives on the suffering of others almost to the point of sexual pleasure. It’s truly repugnant.

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.
