I am currently trying to decide what to do on a gap year and had a question.
For those who might not be aware, "salting" is a tactic union organizers use. Essentially, you go undercover and work for a non-union employer with the goal of organizing/recruiting the workers. A friend of mine who graduated a year ago and who is now working for a large national union reached out to me and said he could get me a job salting if I was interested in it.
Assuming the rest of my app is solid, would a job like this be seen poorly or too political for med schools? This is something I am passionate about but I am worried it may come across poorly. Worse comes to worst, I can simply list my "undercover job" as my real job -- would you consider this dishonest? I would be working full time for full time pay.
