I’ve been a union organizer since 2021. I was the lead organizer for my union. I’ve confronted bosses, stood up to billionaires, organized strikes, planned workplace actions, faced retaliation, and helped grow class consciousness within the working class. We won union recognition in March 2024, and I was illegally fired in December 2024. The case to get my job back is still ongoing. I have stories, knowledge, strategy, and more, so ask me anything!

    Check your local laws, several states require listings to include a pay range. If you’re in one of those states and the offer is below the range, that company is likely violating the law and should get reported to your state’s department of labor. Lying about hours probably doesn’t break the law, but you can still report them.

    As for what to do, a couple ideas come to mind.

    • You can shame them publicly; I’m a particularly thorny agitator so I’d do it on LinkedIn, but any medium that they’d see would work.
    • You could also grit your teeth and accept it, then use it as a point of collective action after you get hired. Something like, “hey, when I was applying, the company lied about the wage I would get. Did you notice that? What’s your wage?”
