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 can kind of see the logic here. People think they interview the top three candidates and, if so, the interviewees have a high chance of actually getting hired. These would then be appropriate questions in that scenario.
However, if they are interviewing 100 candidates in 4 hours then the appropriate place to find this info for the interviewee is the job posting. The hiring manager doesn't have time to answer 20 questions from 100 candidates and moreover if the information is on the job posting, then they either didn't read it or are basically asking if the interviewer is a liar to their face. Now, if it isn't on the job posting, well that is the person who posted it's fault and they should expect these questions to be asked OVER and OVER.
If it is general questions like 6 or 7 that normally doesn't appear on job posting, the appropriate time to ask those questions (to a busy interviewer) is when a job offer is made to the interviewee.
If the interviewer doesn't have time to answer questions then they shouldn't ask the interviewee if they had any questions.
