Work Reform

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.

Yup! This happened to me today in fact. The job listing lured me in promising $71 an hour plus full dental medical and vision coverage plus a $2,000 sign on bonus.
Last week I'm invited to an interview where he says my pay would be $25 an hour plus commissions. hmmm ok fine. whatever.
Today at the second stage of the interview process she told me it would be minimum wage. And she mentioned nothing about medical or signing bonus.
SCAM!
I'm more valuable than this. They can suck it.
I'd have walked out or left the video call in the middle of their sentence. Fuck that noise.
At least shout at them to say they can contact you again when their promised wage is exactly the same as the one stated on the listing, and not a cent less.
I'd expect considerably more to expect to deal with that kind of a workplace!
Sure, you probably won't get it - but it's not a place you want to be anyway.
Video call? Both interviews were in person.
I feel like slapping her in face would be appropriate and should be perfectly legal in this instance.
HOW CAN HE SLAP!?? Oh ok that’s justified
