The Freedom Socialist Party, a group that has urged lawmakers to increase the minimum wage to $20 an hour, faced a chorus of criticism this week from opponents who say it’s hypocritical the organization won’t even pay their own employees the amount they deem a fair wage.

“Raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour,” the party’s official 2012 platform advocates. “Provide a guaranteed annual income. Free medical care for all, including reproductive services and abortion.”

Yet, a Craigslist listing uncovered by Reason Magazine lists compensation for a part-time “Web Content Manager” position at $13.00 an hour, noticeably lower than the $20.00 minimum wage the group campaigns for.

You must have to be a hypocrite to be a progressive.

Now why do you think they would only pay $13? It's expensive paying other people's bills ain't it commies!

Kind of reminds me of those people that call wanting me to donate money for a worthy cause yet they are getting paid to work for that worthy cause. If it's really worthy and important they should be working for free.

What's even worse is $13 an hour is pretty much starvation wages in Seattle.

What's worse is that even if they pay $20, they are saying to a skilled worker you're worth as much as a burger flipper.

Love it!

I don't know what's funnier, the hypocrisy or the job requirements.
$13/hr in Seattle for html, js, and css but you can't telecommute?
Yeah good luck with that

I like when the Hollywood folks bitch about the minimum wage by having an intern making $10/hour and working 100 hrs a week type up their argument for them.

Only part time AND you have to go into the office...

So, no benefits and a commute cost for a clearly potential work-at-home position.

It's like they are the poster child for everything they fight against.
