Hi all, I’ve been considering joining the PCUSA or PLS, but am afraid of being discriminated against when finding a job or internship. I’m wondering if anyone here can provide their personal experience with being in a communist or socialist party in the USA, and whether or not I should wait until after finding a job to join one?
Oh, I forgot to mention that in my state party affiliation is public info, so I would think it would show up on a basic background check though I could be wrong. If not then I might be joining an org soon
Perhaps it would be useful for you to do some googling on that, and some searching for examples of the relevant laws before you make up your mind. Where I live party information is private, but union information isn’t, so I’m not afraid of being a communist in my line of work, but I am afraid of unionizing, even though I could lose my licensing for either.
