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.

Exactly. It's stuff like this that's convinced me to join a tech union myself. If you're in the UK, you might consider the one I joined.

I'm in Canadian manufacturing and am already part of the Teamsters union!

I'm a Teamster as a school bus driver. When I first joined the Teamsters, I started making a joke about getting a phone call at midnight to go break some kneecaps down at the docks. One of my more psycho coworkers responded to my joke with a dead serious "I'd like that". Same dude thinks us bus drivers should carry guns.
