Socialist Group Fights for $20/hr minnimum wage! Advertises for $13/hr Web Developer.

[unokitty]

US socialist group thinks developers are slaves

George Orwell would be having a laugh at the antics of the Freedom Socialist Party in the US.

In 2012 the lefty organisation pushed for a dramatic change in the minimum wage – they wanted $20 per hour minimum wage, even for the most basic jobs...

The only problem is that the Freedom Socialist party clearly did not believe its own policy. It has advertised for a web developer, as you do, but it is only prepared to pay the princely sum of $13 an hour. (But it's 13 socialist dollars. Ed)

So in other words, it is ok to pay people to flip burgers $20 an hour, but those nasty web developers should work for less. It is not even as if you are allowed to save a bit of dosh telecommuting. Like most organisations with their fingers on the pulse, the party insists that you commute to their office so that they can oversee your work.

It appears, to quote George Orwell’s Animal Farm, “some are more equal than others.”

Link to Freedom Socialist Party

The U.S. Freedom Socialist Party is a revolutionary, socialist feminist organization, dedicated to the replacement of capitalist rule by a genuine workers' democracy that will guarantee full economic, social, political and legal equality to all who are exploited, oppressed and repelled by the profit system and its offshoot imperialism.

I'm filing this under "You can't make this stuff up."

But just in case any socialist feminist web developers out there are looking for a job, I thought that I would share this...

That is, as long as you don't mind making $7/hr less than what the Freedom Socialist party thinks burger flippers should make. Oh, and don't forget that the add also states that you'll have 'light custodial duties." Spanish language skills a plus.

Didn't read the link or fact check or anything.
I'm going to take the post at face value and issue a "lulz"

lol

Idiots will idiot.

It's better than the union that hired picketers for minimum wage. I forget if it was the UFCW or SEIU.

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

The level of cognitive dissonance it would take to rationalize this (assuming it's true) is amazing. Classic LBD!

 

[moonbogg]

$20/hr? Holy CRAAAAAP! What would that do to prices of food and everything else? OMFG these people need to die.

haha, not surprising, lefties generally go with "do as I say, not as I do". I'm sure our resident leftists will be here soon with some sort of mental gymnastics to explain why it makes perfect sense.

 

[Knowing]

Earlier this year Media Matters and the SEIU were having a spat. It went as far as MM lawyering up and SEIU filing a complaint with the NLRB.

I don't get the inconsistencies.

Also, $13/hour is a ridiculously low wage for anyone with documented or demonstrable webdev experience. That being said, commies usually have terrible websites.

Let's ruin everything so at least it's "fair"

Another leftist "collection action problem."

Much fun as this is, the indeed posting referenced in the link doesn't specify compensation. I wonder if there's a screenshot of it.

 

[Zaap]

Not surprising in the least.

If you want to meet the ultimate "do as I say not as I do" turdbag hypocrite lefties, you should check out the Hollywood variety. Pretty much *everything* many of them will emo-rage about up on a high horse when a camera is rolling is something they do 100% the opposite when the cameras aren't around.

 

[Veliko]

There is nothing hypocritical about this.

And the job listing doesn't specify the wage from what I can see.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Ah, the minimum wage crusade is fighting for part timers as well,.. I did not know that.

Work schedule:
Part time, 4 hours per day, up to 20 hours per week, Monday-Friday (flexible between 10-6:30pm)

Get your head together:
- Liberal bashing posts do NOT require proof. In the tone of Londo Jowo; Go find it yourself and prove it's wrong,.. - which leads to,...
- Conservative bashing posts DO require proof and even then, hur dur dur dur.

Yes, I'm sure your conservative bashing posts are the pinnacle of meticulous sourcing and research.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Yes, I'm sure your conservative bashing posts are the pinnacle of meticulous sourcing and research.

I've provided plenty of links - even alternatives in most cases (because Huffington Post has ebola,.. or something). So, yes, I do site sources and do my research.

Were as most of the "counters", even to my links, from the usual alarmist/sensationalist ilk is; nu-uh.

Wonder if was changed. If it was, then let the lolz continue. If not, shame on me for not clicking through to the job posting and making a smartassed comment about it.

I'm sure they were thinking a white male would apply for the position. So of course their cause is N/A to them.

(I'm not kidding)
