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.

If worker are able to shift the power balance to where employer has to tell term of the employment on the front end, we would NOT get abused as much during interview process.

For example as middle age cuck, I don't even talk to recurieter unless we agree on salary range that is acceptable to me. I am not wasting my time.

Obviously entry level can't do that but adults should be a lot hard on these corporate IMHO

It is our job to the drive this. Boomers unwillingness to do this got us into this situation.

But yes, as person on bad luck, young or otherwise unemployed, has to play the game how you outlined.

But most of these questions aren't addressing issues at the level of salary range. #4 might be something like a benefit package. Those are important questions and are usually addressed early for a certain type of professional early in the process.

But free parking? Work hours? Weekly activities? It not that these aren't important to know, but most of these questions are either better addressed later or asked in a way that gets them to reveal their values.
