Fact or Fiction? Freedom Socialist Party Webmaster Ad

[Algernon Moncrieff]

Fact or Fiction? A socialist organization calling for $20 min wage put an ad out for a worker for $13/hr.



ETA: Warning: I looked them up on Google, and then clicked the link to their website. When I did, a bunch of red warning boxes popped up from my antivirus software.

1. That's crappy pay for a skilled webmaster.

Sure, there might be a few out there who got laid off and have been unable to find work who might take it anyway, but it's still crap pay based on all of the qualifications they want for the money. That's basic clerical level pay even out here in the midwest, where wages are relatively low, not out on the coasts where cost of living is much higher. Not highly skilled pay for someone who is both a graphic designer and a web content manager who can do front end development. And tacking on 'answering phones, making copies, light custodial' work is insult to injury. That's the sort of thing that should pay that $13/hr already, without even adding on any computer work.

2. A google search

shows that the only places I am finding this information are very right wing sites. I didn't find one credible place where this was published. And even if there were no alerts for going to their site, I doubt that you would still find anything about that ad, since I saw dates on these postings back in the summer.

If you are on Facebook, they do have a FB site that may not have all the red alerts. If I were interested, I might go to the FB site and ask them directly about it.
