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.

I have personal experience with a similar situation. I was told that others without a degree needed the position more. I suppose they thought I would surely get a better job elsewhere and they would be working to train and hire somebody new soon.
If you're going for a job that doesn't require one, I would recommend not disclosing you have one for the exact reason you cited. That isn't a new idea though, I remember being told it decades ago.
