Unfortunately we still see this in psychology, whether it is unpaid “placement years” as part of undergraduate degrees, or voluntary assistant psychologists/research assistants roles. Accessible to those that can afford to work for free… #classdiscrimination
Working for free is a luxury that few can afford, but unpaid work is still expected across many sectors 👎 Unpaid internships are most prominent in real estate (64%), construction (54%), IT & telecoms (46%), legal (46%), and finance & accounting (45%). suttontrust.com/our-research…

"Is justice truly equal for all? When a working-class woman stands up to defend her rights, she’s questioned — ‘Where did you get the money?’ But when a wealthy person stands in court, no one dares to question their resources or access. That’s class discrimination — subtle, yet deeply rooted. The professional class is never asked to mortgage their dignity, but working-class women are constantly expected to prove themselves worthy in the eyes of a so-called 'respectable society.' They are not only expected to endure everything, but also to accept their exploitation as ‘normal.’ If you still believe there’s no class bias, perhaps it’s time to change the way you look." #ClassDiscrimination #Justice #WomensRights #QuestionsMatter

The Persistence of Ignorance: A Result of Centuries of Class Discrimination in Britain The British lower classes have long been subjected to systemic class discrimination by the upper aristocratic classes. This entrenched social hierarchy has perpetuated ignorance and hindered the socio-economic progress of those at the bottom of the class structure. Despite living in one of the world’s most advanced societies, the remnants of feudalistic attitudes and policies continue to stifle upward mobility and educational opportunities for the lower classes. This ignorance is very evident in the racist protests taking place in the UK. It is essential to recognize and address these deep-rooted issues to foster a more equitable and informed society. Recent research underscores the severity of class discrimination in Britain. According to a report by the Trades Union Congress (TUC), working-class graduates are significantly less likely to secure high-paying jobs compared to their peers from more privileged backgrounds, even when holding the same qualifications. Graduates from working-class backgrounds are half as likely to earn above £30,000 per year compared to those from professional backgrounds. The British Social Attitudes survey reveals that nearly half of the population still identifies as working class, and a growing number believe it is very difficult to move from one class to another. In 2022, 32% of respondents said it was very difficult to move between classes, nearly double the figure from 2005. This perception is strongly linked to left-wing views, with 77% of those who see class mobility as very difficult holding progressive attitudes towards inequality. Discrimination extends beyond employment. In the creative industries, for example, research by Creative Access found that the proportion of working-class professionals has halved since the 1970s. Soft social identifiers, such as educational background and confidence levels, continue to influence career progression. The study revealed that 70% of professionals believe class discrimination persists in their industry, with unpaid internships and networking advantages disproportionately benefiting those from privileged backgrounds. The problem is systemic, affecting various aspects of life, including education, housing, and access to public services. The National Centre for Social Research highlights that while fewer people hold traditionally working-class jobs, class identity remains strong, and educational background has become a more significant determinant of class identification than occupation. Addressing class discrimination requires comprehensive legal and policy reforms. The TUC advocates for new laws to make class discrimination unlawful and for mandatory reporting of class pay gaps by employers. Additionally, integrating socio-economic status as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act could provide a robust framework for challenging class-based inequalities. By acknowledging and addressing the multifaceted nature of class discrimination, Britain can move towards a more just and equitable society, where socio-economic background no longer dictates one’s opportunities and outcomes. #ClassDiscrimination #BritishSociety #SocialJustice #Inequality #Aristocracy #EducationForAll #EndClassism

Why are resident doctors (who earn less than other HCPs) not from a rich background discriminated against? Is it a course only rich and posh doctors should have access to? #ClassDiscrimination @NSafeSedation this is discrimination on the basis of class Can you explain?
I raised this issue back in January but it appears @NSafeSedation has ignored it 4x mark-up in price for Doctors compared to all other HCPs! How can this be justified? nationalsafesedation.com/cou…

One thing about applying for a #CivilService job - they ask what jobs your parents did. Thus they can work out what class you came from. Why would one’s parents job be important, other then classism. #Classdiscrimination #DWP #Governmentjobs

Lol, the journalist class can't bear it when they meet their match, especially if matched by a workibg class person. This isn't about Mick Lynch, but Mick Lynch speaks well on behalf of his members, and they dont like it. #classdiscrimination #classwar #SupportTheRailWorkers

Forced to send in photos of a bra, but Indue is keeping jobkeeper #discrimination #classdiscrimination #thisisyourgovernment #auspol #indue
Replying to @lukehgomes
Slight contrast: Labor MP @JulianHillMP told parliament last month one cardholder was “forced to beg Indue for permission to buy a bra that fitted her from a shop that wasn’t on the approved list” and “forced to send in photos”.
#Facts While self-care and mental health are too often ignored, the system itself overwhelms any individual action. This holds true for all forms of bigotry including #racism, #sexism, #homophobia, #transphobia, #ableism, #Ageism , #ClassDiscrimination aka #poverty and more
No amount of self-care can counteract a system that exploits its workers.

International schools in Uganda are operating but our sisters and brothers in these local schools are home growing every now and then. Our young sisters have become mothers at a tender age, many have been forced into child labour. #ClassDiscrimination🚮🚮

Another reason for the introduction of the socioeconomic bill to be past @PaulFMcKeon @chrisandrews64. I cannot think of any other logical reason why this is being stalled/stopped when so much money has already been spent . #classdiscrimination limerickpost.ie/2021/01/26/m…
