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.

I disagree. They're important for me to know if I want to keep pursuing this job opportunity or if I should stop wasting our time. I don't want to do a second or third interview only to find out afterwards about all these factors. I could be out there interviewing for other jobs in the meantime, not in a second interview at this shitty company that doesn't want to tell me how shitty it is until they've offered e the job.
If you have market power, make sure you demand the terms upfront.
People who have market power and don't do it, are bootlickers
I don't see how answering any of these question in s straight forward and honest way would reveal if this company is shitty or not. Their ability to provide free parking is far an indicator of quality.
Interesting that you cherry picked that one... I would consider work hours and whether or not you'll get health insurance to be pretty consequential
I didn't say it wasn't consequential, I said it wasn't an indicator of if it was a shitty company.
OK. But those things definitely are.
Last job I worked had 38 hours per week of work, free parking, health insurance, and was a terrible company.
Free parking, insurance, hell... Even weekly activities don't necessarily make or prevent a company from being shitty. #6 could be an indicator, but by itself, it's not enough.
Not providing health insurance definitely makes a company shitty.
You realize it doesn't say that and this wasn't happening in the US. The candidate pulled out a piece of A4 paper. Something not used in the US very often.
What other country ties health insurance to employment?
I'm genuinely curious because I thought the US was the only one.
