What do they mean exactly by “requiring workers to take lower paying jobs?” Is that them saying that unemployment benefits only extend to a certain income level and they’re accidentally saying the quiet part loud by admitting it’s meant to incentivize people taking lower paying work rather than just increasing wages?
Sounds to me like an industrial plant can lay off their entire workforce, put up new job listings at a 30% pay cut, and the state will force you to accept these terms.
We had something similar introduced recently in Australia. It basically means you have to search for work and take any job you are offered or your unemployment will be stopped.
I’ve noticed that a lot of things get tested in the US-allied countries first or around the same time. It might be good to keep an eye on the politics in other 5 eyes countries to get an idea of what direction policies are going.
Use an alternate name on your resume and put in your experience that you helped organize workplace or tenants unions lol
If you get an interview anyway make it very clear that you’re all about workers rights and will immediately try to unionize without saying it.
Maybe you can claim you’re a liberation theologist to your unemployment worker.
