Drivers will get sick pay and healthcare stipends, too.

    As someone who lives here and doesn’t drive, services like this are extremely valuable to me

      I get that, but they deserve to be paid a livable wage like everyone else.

        I agree and I’m happy to pay more. I just hope this doesn’t go away.

        Why do these drivers get paid a 50% higher wage than minimum wage? EMT drivers don’t even get this much

          EVERYONE deserves a liveable wage, including the people you mentioned.

            That’s what the minimum wage is for.

          You’re right, and I’m angry too.

          EMT drivers should be paid more (as well as the Uber/Lyft drivers)!

          most public transport worldwide isn’t trains, it’s buses

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.
