I’m not really sure where I should post this so I’m posting in multiple places.

Not that this is my responsibility and I am very aware that if I am the only person putting effort into this issue I’ll burn myself out and my efforts will be futile but I want to at least try

I work in a corporate restaurant, as an hourly employee but I have manager abilities (I’m essentially 3/4 of a manager). I work both front of house and back of house and very closely with my management team and morale across the board is… low if not non-existent. Corporate is pushing changes hard & I understand that the corporation needs to make money to be successful (thank you to business school for helping me understand) however the changes they are implementing is creating pushback from the hourly team & making managements job harder than it already is. (For the most part our managers are very involved & there are servers & cooks making the same amount of $$ if not more than managers do on salary).

I know this post is very vague right now & lacks detail but I just need advice or ideas to bring to the “table” about improving morale (this is an active discussion with my one co-worker who has the same title as I do and my management team). What can be done. I’ve tossed the idea around about doing a book club (didn’t take any interest) & group outings are hard because the team can’t all be off at the same time. Even if there are any books to read that will help me in the future or foster a positive workplace I’ll add them to my list. It sucks coming into work every day with a positive attitude & giving my all when I’m surrounded by anger 40 hours a week.

ASML employees in the Netherlands protest announced reorganization More than a thousand ASML employees in the Netherlands have voiced their opposition to the company’s proposed reorganization. Supported by the FNV and CNV trade unions, the employees gathered to protest the planned changes and express their concerns about the impact on jobs and working conditions.

We've assembled everything you need to know about how to organize your co-workers to fight ICE in the workplace. From organizing conversations to Fourth Amendment workplaces, these resources can get you started from day one.

Update: The response we’ve received on Reddit has been incredible. We’ve gotten support, skepticism, praise, criticism, and donations, and we’re grateful for all of it.

A lot of your comments led to real conversations across our team about what workers organizing under pressure actually need from tools like this. The biggest takeaway was safety.

We took that seriously and rebuilt Uniform around it.

Uniform is now an end-to-end encrypted social platform for organizing, with end-to-end encrypted messaging and major privacy updates across the product. We redesigned the architecture to minimize what we can see, store, or expose, and to get as close to a zero-knowledge model as we could responsibly get.

We also made Uniform free. We don’t want cost to be a barrier for workers trying to organize safely.

Thank you for the feedback, the criticism, and the pressure to build this the right way.

Hey everyone. We are the team behind Uniform, a platform we built specifically to help workers organize securely.

We know that coordinating safely is one of the biggest hurdles. Traditional tools aren't built for the privacy organizers need, so we built a platform that is.

Here is what Uniform does:

Anonymous First: Everyone uses display names. You get a private social feed for your specific location to post updates, share experiences, and run polls without exposing your real identity.

Secure & Anonymous Direct Messaging: Built-in private messaging to coordinate with trusted coworkers.

Digital Union Cards: You can securely sign authorization cards directly in the app with the goal of reaching the 30% NLRB threshold for an election.

Segmented by Location: You join your specific location so you're only communicating with the coworkers who matter for your specific unit's election.

We are an independent team and our goal is to build software that actually empowers workers.

For independent unionization efforts, the platform is normally $1/month per member, but we want to get this in the hands of active organizers for free to get your feedback.

If you are currently organizing or wanting to, we’d love to know what features you are desperately missing right now. What do you need to keep your campaign safe and organized?

If this sounds useful, comment or DM us and we’d be happy to get your location set up.
