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.

The amount of time recruiters contact me after i decline with "I had no idea you had [insert qualification started clearly on my resume] experience" is 100% of the time.
I have a simple rule that's worked out really well for me to avoid getting recruiters like that. If their name is indian, I don't answer. To be clear, this isn't me "doing a racism". If they are from a company I've worked with and know to be good I'll still pick up. But generally if they have an Indian name, they are part of a resume farm and not paying any attention. I've also started seeing ones from Africa this year that caught me off guard. Tried to talk to a couple before I realized what was going on and stopped answering any of them. What's really great is when they use the exact same introduction message.
I work as a contractor in Pharma/Consumer goods AKA the FDA/DEA controlled territory. If i ignored people who differ from my caucasian/Irish ass i would bea very broke contractor.
These are also bids i put out, I'm not being recruited I'm being interviewed for the bid i put in.
Yeah I imagine so. That's a very different scenario and it wouldn't make sense to ignore a specific group. Getting cold calls from recruiters on LinkedIn is a very different scenario from that and I wouldn't expect my situation to apply there at all.
