GLOBAL TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES “Temp Agencies”
versus U.S and EU workers trade UNIONS

GLOBAL TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES “Temp Agencies” versus U.S and EU workers trade UNIONS—the real enemy of the YELLOW VESTS in the end will prove to be the cancer of the temporary staffing agencies and their lobbies. If you still believe ARTHUR ANDERSON LLP died back in 2001/2002 after being found guilty of criminal charges, among many charges, the main ones relating to the firm's auditing of Enron, when it was still one of the "Big Five" accounting firms (along with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Ernst & Young, and KPMG) you are DEAD WRONG! Andersen Consulting changed its name to ACCENTURE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accenture on New Year's Day 2001. It is among the largest and most powerful global temp agencies today, along with global temp agency ADECCO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adecco_Group (which was expanded greatly even more by its JACOBS coffee cartel ownership along with biggest raw chocolate producer partner in the world BARRY CALLEBOUT). In 2010 The Adecco Group set up a joint venture in SHANGHAI with Chinese HR services company FESCO. Accenture Staffing has uncountable short term workers contracts with the US government, in the terms of Obama and now under Trump, especially in border activities with the Mexican customs entry points, and in building the behemoth Mexican Wall. Another legendary but underlooked temporary staffing agency that supplied the US military and intelligence agencies and government and federal offices and bureaus with tons of part time temp contract workers is FEDSIM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Systems_Integration_and_Management_Center . Why are these three worker replacement mega-agencies seldom if ever reported in the main stream media of the western casino neoliberal democracies? The YELLOW VESTS will soon figure it out. (hint: Switzerland plays a large role in this worker redundancy global trend).

FIGHT the Hegemony of Global Temp Agencies with PEOPLE POWER!!

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/truth-temp-labor/

this video above is in all probability consciously very misleading because the vast majority of temps are indeed white US citizens and not illegal immigrants nor poor and uneducated blacks, as are the main temp workers shown and interviewed in this slanted video investigation. Office work is mostly done by temp slaves in our major US cities; senior word processors, multilingual legal secretaries, and even paralegals and lawyers , engineers and computer software designers, professional white collar occupations like nursing, accounting, and computer programming are all being trashed by this same overpowering system of temp agency “slash the wages and gut the benefits” global economics. Most of the workers, for example, in Greenville SC at the giant BMW auto making plant, are temps. Walmart and Amazon use temps with zeal and abundant freedom from careful inspection. Many truck drivers now are forced to find their next gig through a heartless temp agency.

SUPER TEMPS?

https://hbr.org/2012/05/the-rise-of-the-supertemp

McKinsey research a few years back found the that 58% of U.S. companies expect to use more temporary arrangements at all levels in the years ahead (nearly triple the number they plan to offshore of even more jobs). And although good data about independent workers are hard to come by (the government is curiously uninterested in tracking this trend), some estimates are instructive. Sixty million or more Americans are working independently today, according to research by MBO Partners, which manages back-office infrastructure for independent workers. That figure is expected to rise another 20 million over the next two years. This is not just an American phenomenon. In Europe, where former labor laws (being swiftly dismantled under the efforts of major lobbies) make it difficult and costly to fire anyone—thus, according to the lobbies and International Chamber of Commerce (and AmCham) "discouraging companies from taking on permanent hires"—temporary work is rapidly becoming even better established than it is in the United States. The vast majority of this work is in the middle tier or below, but it is spreading in the high end. According to Booz Allen Hamilton, Edward Snowden's former employer, the UK market for interim managers is one of the best developed for replacement temp workers, accounting for as much as $18 billion in future annual revenues; and across Europe, annual growth in the market for interim executives has been accruing agency profits over 200% annually. lawyers, MBAs, doctors, and engineers no longer have nearly as much leverage to hire themselves out at wages commensurate with their long training. As the SUPERTEMP market grows, it will scoop up nearly all talented people into its net, including retirees and new parents, who crave to stay in the game. 

Who Still Doubts that both of the two duopoly political parties in USA are not equally controlled by the same foreign and/or megalithic Big 25 Lobbies?

Financial regulatory measures –never truly put into practice -- were commonplace avoidance procedures on Wall Street under Obama’s two terms. It was just lip service. Go to any serious newspaper, New York Times, or another paper of record, and it is easy to find hundreds of articles which examine from 2008 to today, how nothing was really done -- excepting some CNN and MSNBC and FOX and other corporate TV news networks praising to high heavens the insincere words of their "reformer heroes" on the heels of the Crash of 2008.

Republican politicians by their very nature are rarely allowed to talk in a way openly discrediting and naming a large corporation or bank, much less charging it with bad acts, and get reelected. So you get the pink & purple prose from the only other party, the Democrats, owned by the very same lobbies and elite powers that control the Republicans, both parties having nothing to do whatsoever with the representative needs of We the People

Today one can still buy and sell toxic financial CDs and black magic derivatives (debt transformed into fraudulent negative value "assets") in even greater amounts now than ever before, and nobody's hands in finance will be slapped nor cut off. Maybe some politicians have made histrionic theater to appear "strenuously working to deregulate" (like Native American Indian political actress Elizabeth “Squaw” Warren), but it is never more than puppet theater . In real practice and real effects, “same ole same ole,” you might say, rules Washington, and probably most of our State legislatures also.

If you want to single out Democrats for doing something really good -- on the same level which use to be clearly evident for Labor and Workers and civil rights in the 50s to 80s within the Democratic Party (don’t forget the California Nurses Association Union led by RoseAnn DeMoro)-- today this same party has devolved into mostly elevating transgender and LGBT and illegal immigrants matters, to majestic heights, as if such ‘identity-politics’ applies to all of us equally and brings cohesion and relief to all resident legal American people and workers, in their struggle for jobs and healthcare, and freedom from one-click surveillance federal agencies; nor does the Democratic party any longer represent a voice to speak up for them when up against infallible authoritarian law enforcement powers, who can justify just about anything they want to do against you, in these times, including killing you or robbing you within their current interpretations of The Law.

Did you know that for the last 20-something years when legs wide open illegal immigration penetration became a powerful social engineering tool for the elite 1%, neither Republican nor Democrat congresspersons have since then, or yet now, changed the laws much at all to catch up with the times, which still define and disallow illegal immigration? Why are they so remiss to not adjust the laws to fit the current actions of the courts and law enforcers? For slightly more than two decades, the same laws which had already long been on the books of the nation, making illegal immigration, well …. illegal, most of those disrespected laws still exist and just sit on our law books, making a mockery of our current institutions and policies and practices.

If immigration nowadays is in most cases seldom if ever to be illegal in real practice, then why all the chicanery and cowardice -- to without delay -- rewrite these outdated laws? If illegal immigration is still by law illegal, but in practice it is legal, how are we to respond to other "illegal" acts of law, now as a nation? Can we just litter when we are running out of time to find a trash bin? Punch a car salesman in the face for selling us a lemon when he/she won’t take it back, such salespersons of course could not give a crap about his/her sleight of hand, and it is clearly written all over their “caring” concerned face, so in today’s interpretation of the word “illegal,” one can just bust him/her in the nose or teeth, saying “if it’s apparently legal for illegal immigrants with no legal residency here to get driving licenses and jobs and rent apartments and get free emergency hospital care and fill our schools, punching a sales asshole in the snout, which use to be “illegal”, but now in the illegal immigration interpretations of our laws, who’s to stop me from knocking out this sales parasite’s teeth and getting away with it”? And the list of infractions which we can get away with which are termed illegal but in the same boat as illegal immigration laws, grows “legal” more and more in this disrespect for our laws on the books.

Very odd however, indeed, the paradox of how quickly it has been becoming illegal by law to criticize Israel, a land which has forcefully been championing apartheid and in defiance of UN laws now, for at least 4 undemocratic Israeli decades.

By a similar analogy, if a person who does not endorse or support Republicans in any way, nor feel any particular empathy for any of them in office, hey, that does not in and of itself immediately make Democrats acceptable to them by default, just because they are the only opposition to Republicans, does it? In nearly all respects, the people of the United States really don't have any legal political tools at their disposal any longer, except being a member of one party and loathing the other. A kind of paralysis and death that's time must surely be running out, like the race to build more and more illegal settlements supporting apartheid in Israel, against the native Palestinians, who have lived on that patch of land for eons.

Shouldn't Americans be revolting against job losses and their moribund annual economic income growth rate, with their money being bled out by the Fed Reserve for the luxury of international banksters? Look at France recently, regarding her workers, about a hundred French cities revolted against Emmanuel Macron's Rothschild backed union-busting new laws being bullied through their French Parliament, along with the ever broadening EU Temp Agency job replacement laws also taking hold, making it French-EZ and 1-2-3-tres-simple to throw out long term French workers with pensions and good wages, and replacing them with temps from global temp agencies. Americans are too polarized by us versus them identity-politics issues, to take similar French action against household economic dislocations and national financial fraud, at the highest levels of government. Americans need to learn from the French and get their opposition together today, before it is too late tomorrow.

WHY IS IT 'ILLEGAL' FOR THE MILLIONS OF UNEMPLOYED & DISPLACED LEGAL CITIZENS WHO LOST THEIR JOBS TO NEW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS & OUTSOURCING AGENCIES, TO SLEEP IN THEIR CARS WHEN THEY HAVE NO HOME ANY LONGER? WHY DO THE FEDS AND OUR POLICE ENFORCE THIS KIND OF 'ILLEGAL' car-survival status on us and not on illegal immigrants who ARE "ILLEGAL" Why are tent cities broken up quickly by cops but not ‘sanctuary cities’?

SALLIE MAE-NAVIENT aka SLM Corp--
TRILLIONS DOLLARS SWINDLE BUBBLE Just Waiting to Burst same as the Home Loan Mortgage Fannie Mae Swindles that created CRASH OF 2008!

On September 17, 2010, it was announced that Sallie Mae will acquire federally insured loans from Citigroup-owned Student Loan Corporation worth $28 billion. On Feb 25, 2014, Sallie Mae (aka SLM Corp) announced the new name for the student loan side which will be called "Navient". Navient now manages nearly $300 billion in student loans for more than 12 million customers, the company was formed in 2014 by the split of Sallie Mae into two distinct entities, Sallie Mae Bank and Navient. It seems around this time Sallie Mae sold off all her student loan assets and then bought them back again under their new business name change to Navient, and thereby avoided many lawsuits and prosecutions and it is the same ole same ole Sallie Mae swindle and rake off that it was, but now with a face lift and name change to NAVIENT. Already by In August 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sent Navient a letter telling its executives that the agency's enforcement staff had found enough evidence to indicate the company violated consumer protection laws. On May 28, 2015, the United States Department of Justice announced that nearly 78,000 military service members would begin receiving $60 million in compensation for being charged excess interest on their student loans by Navient.

National student loan debt has climbed to $1.4 trillion as of 2017

In June 2016, stockholders filed a class action lawsuit against Navient. The plaintiffs included Chicago police officers and retired city employees in Providence, Rhode Island. Up to 2017, already "tens of thousands" of complaints were filed against Navient. In 2017, 6,708 federal complaints were filed about the company, in addition to 4,185 private complaints – more than any other student loan lender in the history of the world.

How SALLIE MAE (aka SLM Corp) College Loans Got So Evil, a video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVKEsiNMPNc

July 2018 -- Navient, the Delaware-based student loan management corporation formerly known as Sallie Mae, is being sued by California’s Attorney General Xavier Becerra. In a suit filed Thursday, Becerra accused Navient, the nation’s largest student loan servicer, of cheating thousands of borrowers and forcing them to repay more than they owed. Becerra’s suit alleges that borrowers were steered toward repayment plans that exceeded their income levels, and that in some cases, Navient misrepresented how much borrowers owed. When forced to pay more than they owed, many borrowers then defaulted on their student loans. “By taking Navient to court, we’re sending a very strong message that these practices will not be tolerated,” he said before the filing, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

National student loan debt has climbed to $1.4 trillion as of 2017

In February 2007, New York Attorney General’s office launched an investigation into deceptive lending practices by student loan providers, including The College Board, EduCap, Nelnet, Citibank, and Sallie Mae.. On October 10, 2007, documents surfaced showing that Sallie Mae was attempting to use the Freedom of Information Act to force colleges to turn over students' personal information to unfriendly predatory hands. The university involved was SUNY, State University of New York, which declined the request and was forced to defend its position in court. In December 2007, a class action lawsuit was brought against Sallie Mae in a Connecticut federal court alleging that SALLIE MAE discriminated against African American student loan applicants by charging them much higher interest rates and fees. The lawsuit also alleged that Sallie Mae failed to properly disclose profit gouging terms in student loans to unsuspecting students. Finally, under the terms of a settlement, Sallie Mae agreed to make a $500,000 donation to the United Negro College Fund and the attorneys for the plaintiffs received a whopping and handsome $1.8 million in attorneys' fees for being the erudite middlemen.

Nationally, the use of temporary workers has grown to over three million, a more than 50 percent increase since 2009, with the number expected to rise to over four million by the end of the decade.

Why NEVER to trust TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL

http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-national-endowment-for-democracy-ned-the-legal-window-of-the-cia/5542401 TI is first and foremost a cover for economic intelligence activities by the CIA. It is also a media tool to compel states to change their legislation to guarantee open markets [AmCham]. Asia Foundation/EurAsia Foundation--In the 80s the press reported it was a CIA cover to fight communism in Asia. It was then reformed and its management was entrusted to multinationals. (Boeing, Chevron, Coca-Cola, Levis Strauss etc…). This re-styling was enough to give the impression that it was non- governmental and respectable – a structure that never stopped serving the CIA. After the dissolution of Russia, it was replicated: the EURASIA FOUNDATION, whose mandate extends covert action to the New Asian states. In December 2011, Egyptian authorities search the offices of the NDI and IRI in Cairo. The documents that were seized are most important to understand US interference since the “nest of spies” was removed from Teheran in 1979. Charged with spying, the NED leaders are tried. Here: Robert Becker (Director of NDI, Cairo--see photo below left) at the opening of the trial. The documents prove that NED is wholly responsible for and manipulated the pseudo revolution that took place in Tahrir Square. This resulted in more than 4,000 deaths to hoist the Muslim Brotherhood to power. Tom McMahon: former vice head of Rahm Emanuel and currently head of NDI. He came to France to organise the primaries of the Socialist Party and falsify the integrity of the core values of the Socialist Party of France, leading to the limp and tepid and non-social “socialism” rule of President Hollande.

TEMP SLAVES REVOLT AGAINST WALL STREET & ARMY RECRUITERS
& NOTHING BUT "MEDICAL STRIP TEASE" in lieu of FULL NATIONAL HEALTHCARE!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Chamber_of_Commerce [AmCham]

AmCham is the largest U.S. lobby & has offices next to the US embassy all around the globe.

The 115 AmChams around the world create an influential network, accredited by the largest business association in the world: The 3-million-member-strong US Chamber of Commerce is in Washington, DC.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's [AmCham] own history of itself describes it as originating from an April 22, 1912, meeting of delegates.;The Chamber was created by President Taft as a counterbalance to the labor movement of the time.

In 1993, the Chamber [AmCham] lost several members over its support for Hillary Clinton's healthcare reform efforts when she was the First Lady the first term. The Chamber had chosen to support healthcare reform at that time due to the spiraling healthcare costs experienced by its members. However, House Republicans retaliated by urging boycotts of the organization. The Chamber [AmCham] operated its own cable television station, Biz-Net until 1997 in order to promote its policies. The Chamber shifted somewhat more to the right when Tom Donohue became head of the organization in 1997. By the time health care reform became a major issue again in 2010-2012, the organization opposed such efforts.The Washington, D.C., headquarters of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce occupies land that was formerly the home of master masonic Daniel Webster.  In late 2011 it was revealed that the Chamber's computer system was breached from November 2009 to May 2010 by Chinese hackers. The purpose of the breach appeared to be gain information related to the Chamber's lobbying regarding Asian trade policy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Chamber_of_Commerce

AmCham works closely and tightly with NED, both the IRI Republican wing and the NDI Democrats wing.

NED  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Endowment_for_Democracy

NED is the "Patriarch" and AmCham (CIPE) his "Madame," for the four flea ridden agencies which are intertwined, IRI, NDI, Solidarity Center (SI) fake manufacture "brand socialism", and AFL-CIO 'anti-labor' white glove mafia fake international union!

IRI  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Republican_Institute

NDI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democratic_Institute_for_International_Affairs

These two agencies together make the "color revolutions" around the globe, with the purpose to destabilize the local government and supplant it with AmCham networks.

NDI's "Solidarity Center" branch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_Center

4 main branches of NED, formed in 1983 just months before the KAL007 airline shootdown that nearly started WW3, when a US controlled Korean airline strayed dangerously deep into restricted Soviet air space.

AmCham is the main 3rd branch of NED, aka CIPE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_International_Private_Enterprise

The 4th main branch of NED is the fake socialist branch called SI.  Bernie Sanders is not even social democrat enough to be in membership alignment with this fake CIA controlled NED socialist party international.  The NDI, loosely affiliated to the Democratic Party is an "associated organization" of the Socialist International.

On 22 May 2013, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) along with other current and former member parties of the SI founded a rival international network of social-democratic parties known as the Progressive Alliance, out of criticism of the perceived corrupt, undemocratic and outmoded nature of the SI.

The AFL-CIO has long worked hand in hand with SI and NED, especially in the overthrow of Allende in Chile.

CIA's own Socialism organization, the Solidarity Center cum Socialist International [SI]

115 AmChams around the world [most often next door to the U.S. embassy].  It is not federal, same as Federal Express and Federal Reserve are not federal.

In recent years democracy assistance has become not merely a goal for diplomacy (although it remains that) but an increasingly frequent practical problem. A host of international and multilateral donor agencies and even military forces (both NATO and U.S.) have taken on the task of helping build democracies in highly challenging environments, including authoritarian and semiauthoritarian states, recently emerging and transitional democracies, and societies scarcely out of, or even in the midst of, violent conflicts (e.g., Ukraine, Bosnia, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti, Democratic Republic of the Congo). U.S. efforts to assist the spread of democracy encompass a host of activities: diplomatic pressures, trade sanctions, economic development aid, military and political support for democratic forces, or in some cases (e.g., Zaire, Philippines) withdrawal of support for dictators.

2008 Financial Crash Senate Hearing: Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs vs. Senator Carl Levin

2008 Financial Crash: Sen. Carl Levin questioning Daniel Sparks - Former Goldman Sachs Mortgages Department Head, asking him "How much of that shitty deal did you sell to your clients?" during Goldman Sachs Hearing on Fraud and Contempt of clients

During the Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations hearing of May 5 2009, Ms. Coleman was unable to answer several questions regarding trillions of dollars of increases to the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve. Elizabeth A. Coleman, Inspector General for the entire Federal Reserve System of USA, has NO IDEA what happened to $9 TRILLION in the national reserve bank, nor its relation to Lehman Brothers!

William Black, professor of law and professor of economics and former Fed regulator at the highest levels, nearly lets some tears of indignation fall from his eyes, in Congressional testimony, explaining how the highest SEC regulators and the most senior executives of finance in the Senate, knew what happened with the improprieties of the Federal Reserve, leading up to the Crash of 2008. Prof. Black is an expert on "bond vigilantes" and the American trend of "U.S. financial regulators race to the bottom", and he warns that "bad ethics drive good ethics out of the marketplace". He is very depressed that our own FDIC has only $130 on deposit for every $10,800 of risk that it insures.

3-1/2 hours C-Span on Goldman Sachs FRAUD hearings regarding 2008 GLOBAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE

Three INCREDIBLE links below, not to miss!

A painful look back TEN YEARS ago to 2006, just two years before Obama’s first term [and things have not changed they have only metastasized!

The TOP SEVEN [7] HMOs on the stock market and by logical extension the 7 most likely to TRUMP you!! --->>

1) Stryker prosthetic devices [which started in WW2 with a cozy relationship between the military and today's mutual funds]-- artificial legs and arms and other body parts due to all the U.S. air strikes worldwide and due to mines set by resistance movements to get US imperial troops out of their lands.

2) Zimmer Holdings -- grew up around 1927 during the Great Depression and has since merged with a big mean Swiss multinational -- medical devices and spinal replacements -- titanium polluters.

3) IMS Health -- medical IT databases that will destroy your privacy -- selling out your data to big pharmaceutical combines -- get ready for spam emails and cold calls at your home on the telephone! Bush is a big advocate of this company and so is Homeland Security! Do your patriotic duty and get phucked!! 5000 national hospitals may all be on the IMS database soon! IMS Health -- the "dominant" provider of sales and marketing information to the drug industry, with an unrivaled database that TRACKS 75% of all drugs consumed in the world today, ALREADY !!!!!!!!! Bet you didn't know that!! Their database and software "tabulates the exact number of pills each doctor is doling out." This company started 50 years ago by one of the founding fathers of the drug marketing business, Ludwig Wilhelm Frohlich. Pharmaceutical supply databases were just 15 years ago rinky dink syndicated publications in hard copy, and now such electronic extensive databases have exploded into the $470 billion pharmaceutical industry colossus that it is today! IMS Health's CEO is a former IBM manager. IMS is "strictly" a data vendor in this behemoth market that your Congress is making as easy as tomato soup out of all of us!!

4) Cerner -- founded in the early 1990s by a former ARTHUR ANDERSON [hooray for ENRON!] consultant, Neal Patterson, born in Oklahoma, who sees bioterrorism everywhere!! Bio-Terror will be a hip new lucrative growth industry and Patterson chastised all his employees with a corporate wide email because he found out that the parking lot after 6pm at the plant was nearly empty thus not many workers were putting out free overtime!!! Nice guy!!!!!!!!!!! All the large drug companies depend on his type of global database connected to medical records to hawk their pills and goods!

5) Teva Pharmaceuticals -- An Israeli generic drug powerhouse is the largest pill supplier here in the US -- do you think they are on your side?

"Temp Agency Slavery Soon to be as Conspicuous as Dutch West Indies Slave Shipping"

from the New York Times

[excerpts from reporter LESLIE EATON]

AN ECONOMIC DISASTER OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS

"[...] Job growth has slowed in the northern suburbs and on Long Island, and has stalled in parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

[...] High tech centers like San Francisco, Bost and Austin, Tex., are also showing some weakness as individuals and corporations throttle back on their computer purchases.

[...] This is bad news not only for investors, but also for Wall Street. When stocks decline, securities firms may make a little money from trading, but they lose the huge fees they make from initial public offerings and mergers.

The stock market is not the only problem. The bond business has also been bad. And securities firms have been hit with a wave of mergers.

Industry estimates suggest that 10,000 workers will be laid off, most of them in New York.

[...] The industry ... is now warning of a cataclysm for the city if its profits plunge.

"The disaster to the city's and state's budgets, economies and job markets could be biblical in proportion."


Hot off the NEW YORK TIMES presses!

from a story by DAVID LEONHARDT

OVER 30 MILLION "FREELANCERS" in the US Today!

"Self Employment Will Grow in the Coming Years"

WHY??

* Before WWII, America had many many more independent farmers

* All the widespread layoffs among white collar workers in the late 80s and early 90s

* More than 30 million Americans now call themselves "freelancers" [rather than temps], or "self-employed

MAIN DRAWBACK: HealthCare costs have grown faster and higher for self-employed than for the big companies. Other forms of NON-TRADITIONAL employment, like TEMPORARY HELP and telecommuting, are quickly gaining ground in our BOOM BOOM BOOM economy!

"Republicans Pushing for Biggest Temporary Worker Legislation ever to Allow Illegals to Work without Documentation in the U.S.: No need to re-vamp the H2-A Visa Program, Just run 'em in like steer!"

"[...] In Washington, Republican lawmakers are pushing the biggest temporary worker legislation since the Bracero program, which brought in wave of Mexican workers in the 1940s and 1950s.

[...] More than three million undocumented Mexicans may be in the United States working in low-paying jobs. Nowhere is their presence more keenly felt than in agriculture.

The General Accounting Office recently estimated that 52 percent of the nation's 1.6 million farm workers are here illegally, a formidable army whose presence openly violates American laws.

[...] A nationwide amnesty in 1986 allowed 1.1 million undocumented Mexicans to gain legal residency. Another piece of legislation being considered in Washington would extend the amnesty and give more illegal immigrants legal residency.

[...] Temporary field workers can cross the border legally, through a federal program referred to as H2-A, but few come that way ... American immigration officials have argued that there is nothing temporary about temporary visas.

[...] Critics opposed any attempt to expand H2A or normalize undocumented workers because of the burden such immigrants may place on social services.

H1-B Visa Swindle: THE CURRENT IMMIGRATION WAVE IS THE LARGEST EVER

IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE USA.

... as reported by the Dallas Federal Reserve, link URL address below

http://www.dallasfed.org/htm/pubs/swe/5_6_00.html

The current immigration wave is the largest in U.S. history. The number of legal immigrants admitted in the decade 1991-2000 is estimated at more than 9 million, exceeding the previous record of 8.8 million set nine decades earlier during the First Great Migration (Chart 1; re. turn of the century immigration via Ellis Island, and the first two decades of this last century, 1900-1920).

In addition, net illegal immigration is estimated to be 2.8 million during this decade. The nation's number of foreign-born residents is also at an all-time high, over 25 million.

[During the last two decades, immigration has supplied at least one quarter (1/4) of the nation's labor force growth].

Dramatic shifts have occurred in both the national origins and the skill levels of recent immigrants.

Latin America and Asia have replaced Europe and Canada as primary originating areas (Chart 3), much as Southern and Central Europe replaced Western and Northern Europe during the First Great Migration. The skill levels of immigrants have also changed.

Since the late 1960s, immigrants have been much more likely to be at the low end of the native education distribution compared with immigrants in the early post-World War II period.

[For example, a disproportionate number of recent immigrants lack high school diplomas.]

Although much attention has been devoted to this rise in low-skilled immigration, it is important to note that the United States continues to attract high-skilled immigrants as well, that have heard of the H1-B visa buy-out.

In fact, the United States attracts labor disproportionately from both extremes of the skill spectrum. Immigrants are more likely to be high school dropouts, but they are also disproportionately likely to have at least master's degrees due to the lucky ones with knowledge of the H1-B visa that can be purchased through an attorney.

Market forces draw both low-skilled and high-skilled labor to the United States. Low-skilled workers come because such labor is relatively scarce here. They keep our minimum wage at a very very low level and this makes the fast food industry extremely satisfied.

H1-B and Other Temporary-Worker Visas on the Rise!

The difficulties associated with permanent-resident visas have prompted employers to make greater use of temporary-worker visas.

Temporary visas are issued for a limited time period and usually restrict the recipient to working exclusively for the sponsoring employer (perhaps another source of their rising popularity among employers).

In contrast to permanent residents, who can be naturalized after five years in the United States, temporary-visa holders are not eligible for citizenship. They are also ineligible for most government transfer programs.

There are a variety of temporary-worker visas.[11] Most are occupation- and skill-based, such as H1-B visas for high-skilled workers in "specialty occupations," H2-A visas for seasonal farmworkers and H2-B visas for other low-skilled workers. Some of these, such as the H2-A visas, require labor certification by the employer as well as employer-provided housing and transportation.

The H1-B visa program is the largest and most prominent of the temporary-visa programs. To qualify for an H1-B visa, the worker generally must have at least a bachelor's degree. The visa allows employment for three years and can be renewed once.

The visa does not require labor certification; instead, the employer simply files a labor-condition application certifying that the foreign worker will be paid the prevailing market wage.

H1-B visa use has increased sharply (Chart 10). An annual cap limiting H1-B visas to 65,000 took effect in fiscal 1992. Nonetheless, in 1998 the cap was reached four months before the end of the fiscal year.

This prompted an October 1998 law raising the H1-B cap for three years: to 115,000 for 1999 and 2000 and to 107,500 for 2001.

Over 22,000 extra, illegal H1-B visas were issued in 1999. The Justice Department is now undertaking a criminal investigation of this matter.

COMMISSION Acknowledges that Underpaid Filipino Nurses Exploited by loopholes in U.S. Labor Laws After Paying US Employment Agency Fees of $5000, and Robbing U.S. Nurses of Desperately Needed Work

from the Washington Post

by Kirstin Downey Grimsley

"[...] The commission said the Woodbine Health Care Center in Gladstone, MO, used a now-discontinued Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) VISA program designed to find nurses amid a labor shortage, promising to pay the prevailing wage to the immigrants, as the program required. But when the Filipino nurses arrived in the United States, they were paid less than HALF of what they had been promised, treated unfairly and threatened with deportation if they complained, EEOC officials said.

[...] Filipino nurses ... [are] seen as being able to be pushed around and paid less without them complaining about it."

The OWNERS of the nursing home,

Woodbine Healthcare Limited Partners,

declined through their lawyer, Karen Glickstein, to comment.

[...] Villanueva [a registered Filipino nurse] said her mother took out a $5,000 loan in the Philippines to pay EMPLOYMENT AGENCY FEES, and transportation costs for her to come to the United States in 1994 to work in what they were told would be a high-paying nursing job.

Instead, Villanueva alleged, she and other Filipino nurses were forced to work as nurses's aides, were paid $7 an hour while American-born registered nurses were paid $13 to $15 an hour. She also said the Filipino nurses were not permitted to sit down while at work, were assigned to do the dirtiest jobs and the heaviest work, and were required to work mandatory overtime shifts for which they were not paid.

"They continually EXPLOITED us," Villanueva said.

"If we didn't do mandatory overtime, they'd say "You'll get in trouble and they'll send you home."

[...] The INS program was created in 1989 to help address a serious nursing shortage. The LABOR DEPARTMENT WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION was charged with monitoring the program, which WAS ALLOWED TO FADE OUT OF EXISTENCE in 1995 after CONSOLIDATIONS in the HEALTH-CARE INDUSTRY created a GLUT of nurses."

from PC WEEK: "Americans Oppose visa increase" -- POLICY --

Americans are opposed to allowing more foreign high-tech guest workers into the United States over the next four years. ... The majority of the individuals surveyed indicated that they believed that lower wages paid to temporary foreign workers harm US professional wages, that allowing companies to hire TEMPORARY foreign professionals reduces employment opportunities for US technical workers, and that companies should train US workers to perform jobs in technical fields even if it is faster and less expensive to fill the jobs with foreign workers."

"The H1-B Visa Bill"

"It's got it all: Xenophobia, class struggle, age discrimination. If ever there was an issue where passions run high, it's the H1-B visa controversy.

[...] It's an attempt to dilute the labor pool and depress programmer wages, particularly for older workers. It feeds off the false hysteria of the "labor shortage"; in reality, there is no labor shortage, only a shortage of programmers who will work for peanuts.

Perhaps the most articulate critic of the bill is Norman Matloff, a professor at the University of California at Davis. "We've lost our democracy," says the unequivocal academic and debunker of the labor shortage idea. He says the bill was lobbied for very heavily by large companies and the target is older programmers and the higher wages they tend to make.

[...] In California, about half of the programmer community is of Asian extraction.

The number of TEMP JOBS in the U.S.A rose 577% from 1982 to 1998: Overall Employment grew by a whopping 47% !!

[excerpted from a recent WASHINGTON POST article written by Frank Swoboda]

"[...] the Nation's employers increasingly rely on temporary staff to trim costs and gain flexibility. Temps, contractors and consultants who are not attached to a company's core work force make up as much as 25 percent of the nation's employment base by some estimates, or nearly 35 million workers.

The number of temporary jobs in the United States rose 577% from 1982 to 1998, according to the General Accounting Office, while overall employment grew 47 percent. MANPOWER Inc., a temp agency, is now the NATION'S LARGEST EMPLOYER.

[...] contingent workers ... have often been "relegated to second-class status and rights " because of their inability to join unions.

[...] Some unions already were planning ... to boost its organizing in hospitals that often hire temporary nurses on a long-term basis.

[...] Challenges to the widespread use of temporary workers have also landed in court in recent years. In one of the more celebrated cases, thousands of current and former independent contractors and temporary workers sued MICROSOFT CORP., essentially claiming that they deserved the same rights as permanent employees. They won in a US Appeals Court, but the U.S. SUPREME Court DECLINED to review the case.

[...] David Larson, who has worked on and off as a Microsoft temp for six years, said he is not sure the younger temp workers realize how important unionizing could be but he hopes they soon will. "The younger you are, the less you thing about things like retirement," said Larson, 44. "Once [the younger temps] start thinking about this, they'll think, "Gee, I'm coming up short here."

from recent AP Wire releases!!

During the latter half of the 1990s the unemployment rate in the United States reached a 30 year high,

but when added since 2000 to the major influx of former welfare recipients who entered the part time minimum wage labor market and found nothing, and employers in the high tech sector who demanded criminally much lower wages from immigrants [legal?] to import skilled labor in order to meet their CEO's bottom line needs, it jumped up even higher to maybe 15-20% unemployed, by real rather than virtual counting techniques.

The time thus seemed ripe to anybody with half a brain for INCREASED job training in the United States, yet in spite of increasing cuts to education and training over the last twenty years and the request for high skill needs, the U.S. invested abysmally less in post-school training than any other advanced industrialized economy on the planet Earth.

American capitalism was stunned by yet another catastrophe on June 26 when MCI WorldCom, the nation's second largest long-distance carrier, admitted that it had doctored its books to hide massive losses.

The humbled behemoth, whose stock is now virtually worthless, admits that $3.8 billion in funds it did not have were added to its cash flow account.

As with Enron, and again with the assistance of Arthur Anderson's accounting firm, a massive minus was turned into a multi-billion-dollar plus on WorldCom's books. The idea was to prettify the figures in order to stabilize WorldCom's rapidly declining stock prices.

Even before the "accounting error" was "discovered," MCI WorldCom knew the jig was up. It was the subject of a federal accounting investigation; it was hard pressed to refinance its $30 billion debt, and its credit rating was reduced to junk bond status.

To stem the tide and reverse its declining stock price (from $62 in 1999 to 26 cents per share today), the crippled corporation, now on the verge of bankruptcy, reported profits of $1.4 billion last year and first quarter profits of $130 million in 2002. WorldCom now admits it lost money in both periods but has declined to state precise figures.

WorldCom executives announced that 17,000 additional workers would be fired, as they tried to salvage the company's remaining capital for the ruling-class few who are still in charge. Meanwhile, their banking creditors are rushing to court to prevent WorldCom's executives from running away with the loans they granted before being privy to the impending collapse

The scope of the WorldCom disaster has frightened even the most conservative of observers. WorldCom's value in June 1999 was listed at $115.3 billion. It is now worth less than $1 billion.

WorldCom is not alone in the world of major corporate fraud and failure. The nation's sixth largest cable television operator, Adelphia Communications, virtually simultaneously joined the parade of major multi-billion-dollar operations that are headed for the bankruptcy courts.

DOWN WITH ADELPHIA

ADELPHIA's problems began when it was revealed that it had loaned at undisclosed terms at least $3.1 billion to the company's major shareholders, the Rigas family.

Meanwhile, the Xerox Corporation admitted it had "misstated" its earnings for previous years-to the tune of $6.4 billion. Top executives for drug store giant RITE AID have been indicted for an accounting fraud that inflated the company's earnings by $1.6 billion.

Even homemaking expert Martha Stewart, head of a company with billions of dollars in assets, was embroiled in scandal for "insider" stock-trading.

MCI WORLDCOM follows in the footsteps of other bankrupt corporations, like ENRON and GLOBAL CROSSING, whose top executives resorted to every means necessary, including fraud and theft, to compete in the ruthless capitalist market place, where profit and profit rates are under tremendous pressure.

Profit, under capitalism, is a product of the exploitation of workers. But the absolute necessity of introducing labor-replacing machinery to remain competitive, while temporarily resulting in improved bottom lines, has in the long run led to one corporate meltdown after another.

This website provides information and updates regarding Jagdeo Ramkissoon, et al. v. Gary Winnick, et al. This class action was filed on behalf of all persons who were participants in or beneficiaries of the Global Crossing Ltd. Employees' Retirement Savings Plan, from September 28, 1999 to the present (the "Class Period"). The Complaint was filed in federal court in the Central District of California, Western Division.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period the defendants breached their fiduciary duties when executives officers of Global Crossing were made aware of numerous practices that made Global Crossing stock an inappropriate Plan investment during the Class Period. The fiduciaries failed in their duty to disclose and inform the 401(k) participants regarding this information. Instead they encouraged participants and beneficiaries of the Plan to continue to make and maintain substantial investments in the Company Stock Funds in the Plan.

This case was filed against the following administrators and directors of the Plan and the directors and/or officers of Global Crossing: Gary Winnick, Dan J. Cohrs, Thomas J. Casey, David A. Walsh, Joseph P. Clayton, Lodwrick M. Cook, Mark Attanasio, Norman Brownstein, William S. Cohen, William E. Conway, Jr., Eric Hippeau, Geoffrey J.W. Kent, Maria Elena Lagomasino, John L.

Rochester, NY -- Congresswoman Louise M. Slaughter today called for Congressional investigations of Global Crossing. In letters to the House Finance Committee and the House Education & Workforce Committee, Rep. Slaughter asked the committees to investigate Global Crossing’s questionable business practices related to employees and retirees 401(k) plans. Rep. Slaughter made her comments today at a news conference with Global Crossing employees, retirees and union representatives. Global Crossing’s North American headquarters are located in Slaughter’s Congressional District of Rochester, NY.

“In the wake of the Enron scandal, we have the responsibility to investigate allegations of similar practices by other companies,” said Slaughter. “Retirees and current employees need to be assured that the company followed the letter of the law as global crossing reorganizes.”

Congresswoman Slaughter called for the Congressional investigation after reviewing published reports of Global Crossing’s bankruptcy filing, and hearing from current employees and retirees of Frontier and Global Crossing. In her letter to the Chairman of a House Finance Subcommittee, Slaughter raises concerns regarding the company’s 401(k) plan, and the employees ability to sell company stock in their retirement plans. In a similar letter to the Chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, Congresswoman Slaughter asks the committee to investigate whether the handling of Global Crossing’s pension plan is consistent with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA is the federal law that governs private pension plans.

“Congress needs to investigate companies like Global Crossing to determine if there are changes that need to be made to either federal law or regulations, said Slaughter.

H1-B Visas -- June 19, 2003

IMMIGRATION ADVICE FROM THE NY DAILY NEWS: [Allan Wernick]

Q: Can I get H-1B status through sponsorship through my own company? I'm here on H-1B professional worker status, working for a fitness company. I may lose my my job in August, so I'm thinking of starting my own business. It would operate in the United States and Bermuda. If I start my own company, can my company sponsor me for H-1B status and put me in an easier position than somebody American who is seeking work?

A: You can form a company and your company can petition for H-1B status for you. Readers may recall that H-1B temporary worker status is available for people with a four-year college degree or the equivalent in education and experience [this freedom of "or equivalent experience" does NOT apply to Americans seeking work in Canada under NAFTA regulations].

In H-1B cases, unlike in most employment-based immigrant categories, the employer need not prove that "a qualified U.S. worker is not available".

Because U.S. law considers a corporation and its owner to be separate entities, a corporation can sponsor its owner for H-1B status, even if the sponsored employee solely owns the corporation, such as in your case. Welcome to America, land for part time immigrants and not nearly so good for its own citizens!

PERMATEMPS: WHAT ARE THEY?

U.S. Unemployment Rate Reaches 20%

"Layoffs increased more sharply in New York than in any other state in September 2002, according to new data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. The number of New Yorkers left jobless by layoffs of 50 or more workers rose by 5,035 compared with the same month last year. In all 11,213 New Yorkers lost their jobs in September because of large massive layoffs. The state was the third-hardest hit in total workers laid off [above New Mexico Indian reservations]. Big reductions occurred in temporary employment agencies [as big as the airline layoffs], and in transportation [not very many workers need to commute into a city with barely any jobs]."

Our Unemployment Figures are a Hoax!

A temp agency hires minimum wage lackies to phone "Leave it to Beaver" households and ask if they "are employed" via a small telephone home survey!

By Reuters -- [abridged]

U.S. payrolls outside the farm sector fell by 43,000 in September, in contrast to the 5,000 gain private economists had predicted, the Labor Department said.

Although economic forecasters look to both the payrolls series and the unemployment rate as gauges of the job market and the overall economy, many put more weight on the signals offered by the payrolls survey.

``They are two different surveys. They measure two different things,'' BLS economist Howard Hayghe told Reuters.

"... any time you have payrolls falling, you're taking much needed wind out of the sails of the economic recovery," Yamarone said.

The payrolls data are based on a survey of real employers, while a commercial small poll of households is used to calculate the U.S. official unemployment rate!

BLS's Hayghe said that among other differences in the two surveys, the small commercial household survey includes self-employed people while the hard payroll series does not. He said that recently, the household survey has been greatly boosted by the number of teenage workers who have held on to their summer jobs, to the detriment of unemployed masses, rather than leaving the workforce -- as many use to do in the fall.

"This time of year the official telephone based household unemployment data are more subject to inaccurate seasonal swings," he said.

***

While European countries have maintained huge social-service programs and paid for them with high unemployment, the United States sharply curtailed its best-known welfare program in the mid-1990's.

But the current downturn is beginning to expose an uncomfortable truth: the American economy looks more like Europe's than most people ever imagined during the 1990's.

Millions of people, particularly men, dropped out of the labor force over the last decade, apparently unable to find work that pays near what they once earned in the blue-collar jobs that have since moved to lower-wage countries. Neither employed nor looking for work, they are not counted in the official U.S. jobless rate statistics, and a surprising and growing number of them instead depend on a government check to get by.

In the last two years, the official jobless rate has risen and an additional three million people appear to have dropped out of the labor force. Today, the real level of unemployment for men probably approaches the level of the recession-mired early 80's [close to 20% like in East Germany today].

Robert H. Topel, an economist at the University of Chicago and author of the most detailed recent study of the changes, says: "Employment opportunities for the less skilled are not what they used to be, so people just leave the labor force."

To pay their monthly bills, many of these missing workers have turned to disability insurance, a government program under Social Security that has become the centerpiece of the new American state. Since 1990, the number of people receiving disability pay has nearly doubled, to 5.4 million, and the government now spends far more on the program than it does for food stamps or unemployment insurance.

People who once may have worked through injuries or chronic pain, particularly those without a college education, are increasingly making a choice economic planners did not foresee. They have decided a government benefit, in the form of the roughly $800 in average monthly disability pay, is more attractive than any job.

They make up the biggest group that has left the labor force and help depress the unemployment rate.

The growth of the prison population — to about 2 million today, up from 1.1 million in 1990 and 500,000 in 1980 — has made another large group of people dependent on the government. [these prisoners and parolees are considered "employed" by our Labor Department].

Other labor-force dropouts are harder to count because the government does not support them. Some have moved in with friends or family, economists say. Still others, caring for children or retired, while their spouse works, are properly not counted as unemployed. [many turn to crime as the last hope of survival].

Some of the biggest beneficiaries [of the 1990s latch-key household syndrome] were women, who poured into the job market and whose wages crept closer to men's. Today, 63 million women hold a job, up almost 9 million from a decade ago, according to the Labor Department.

But even the economy of the late 90's failed to reverse the gradual overall increase in the number of men dropping out of the labor force. It also could not halt the long-term rise in the duration of unemployment for those people who kept looking for work and therefore appeared in the official "employed" statistics.

Many of these workers have now been out of the job market for long enough that they may never come back. If they do, they are almost certain to make much less than they once did, economists say.

"People used to drift in and out of the labor force," said Mr. Topel, whose co-authors were Chinhui Juhn at the University of Houston and Kevin M. Murphy at Chicago. "Now, leaving the labor force is more like death — you leave and you don't come back."

A clear sign of the labor market's quiet troubles has long been evident, though its significance was obscured by the falsified "official" jobless rate. While unemployment was supposedly falling over the last 20 years, the median hourly wage has grown only about 6 percent, after adjusting for inflation, according to the Labor Department.

Reflecting workers' meager bargaining power, the Census Bureau said last week that income for the typical household had fallen in 2001 for the second consecutive year. The poverty rate rose.

With scant reason to think that the economy will grow rapidly in the next couple of years, the labor market's woes present a serious challenge for government.

The country can cut benefits at a time when joblessness is rising and leave relatively unskilled workers to fend for themselves. Or it can maintain and expand a safety net that is already larger than many people had thought, possibly giving more discouraged workers reason to depend on a government check.

LAST week, a mostly Democratic group of senators introduced a bill that would extend unemployment benefits to the same length as in the recession of the early 90's. As for the disability program, even without any legislative changes its costs will rise 15 percent to $69 billion this year, according to the Social Security Administration. Containing those costs would require cracking down on people with bad backs or carpel-tunnel syndrome and few good job prospects.

The country now faces a series of difficult decisions balancing the ideals of a free market with those of a humane economic policy. Only a few years ago, compromises did not seem necessary.

[...] unburdened by regulation [regarding part-timers], British employers have less need to seek cheaper ways to create new jobs ... in other words, unburdened by regulation, British employers have less need to seek cheaper ways to create new jobs ... in France, the employers are negotiating with the unions to CUT unemployment benefits to those who refuse job offers.

[...] Two Republican Senators ... said that hearings would be held by SEPTEMBER to investigate how well the Agency is run and why ... half of the 472,000 people covered by failed pension plans [due to their employers having conveniently filed bankruptcy] ... have not been told how much they are due [.].

[...] The audits, the lawsuit and the hearings come as Congressional Republicans are gearing up for a battle to pass major changes in the

Employee Retirement Income Security Act [ERISA]

that have long been sought by major corporations and business owners.

[...] the Pension Agency, which received five awards from Vice President Al Gore for improving efficiency and customer service, had reduced the backlog of people waiting to hear how much they are due [.].


[...] One employee of the Agency, who calls himself Jim Dough, to avoid any RETRIBUTION, has filed a LAWSUIT on behalf of the Agency against one of its biggest Contractors,

OFFICE SPECIALISTS, of Peabody, Mass.

[...] The Dough lawsuit, unsealed on March 18 by a Federal District Court judge in Baltimore, says that a senior Pension Agency official, Bennie L. Hagans Jr., steered business to OFFICE SPECIALISTS, which received a number of contracts WITHOUT competitive bidding, and ordered PAYMENTS [to the temp agency] to be EXPEDITED.

The suit also asserts that Mr. Hagans improperly intervened when Myrna Cooks, the Office Specialists' liaison to the Pension Agency, quit to form her own company and was sued by Office Specialists for violating her employment contract. Mr. Hagans, the lawsuit asserts, "threatened Office Specialists" with a loss of business from the pension agency unless it dropped its suit against Mrs. Cooks and let her assume an Office Specialists' contract valued at $13.5 million. Office Specialists then settled with Mrs. Cooks, whose business, operated out of her home, was awarded the contract.


WE SALUTE the efforts of BARRIE PETERSON, Director of the Bergen County Employment Action Project, the UNION-backed non-profit organization that is coordinating the New Jersey efforts to develop and promote a CODE FOR TEMP AGENCIES, and commend anyone who can implement a federally mandated CODE OF CONDUCT for all USA temp agencies.

Congrats also to Charles Taylor of the South Carolina Alliance, who is working as hard as Barrie Peterson, and the People of San Jose, California, who are also making sure the

AMERICAN STAFFING ASSOCIATION,

, a $60 billion a year lobby group in DC, receives plenty of NEGATIVE ATTENTION!!

We have nothing but CONTEMPT for radio station

WNYC,

an NPR corporate controlled mouthpiece for WALL STREET values. Feb. 4th, 2000, they let EDWARD LANGE, of the American Staffing Association, mouth off ZILLIONS of lies, without correcting him, or allowing CALL-IN listeners much time at all to say more than "Hi. I'm Frank from Brooklyn," or cutting off a veteran who was complaining on-air about the 22% to 49% profit his temp agency made off his graphics work, billing the client as much as they paid him (i.e. a TEMP earning $12/hr. will see his client billed $24/hr. by the temp agency, in general practice).

UNISYS UNISYS !!!

click here for class action lawsuit against UNISYS for SEC fraud



UNISYS also in a class action suit brought by angry engineers who were laid off by the hundreds and hundreds a few years ago for reaching the age of 35!!!

UNISYS defended in court by Epstein Becker & Green

+---------------->>>>>>>>>>>


In Rodolico v. Unisys Corp., CV 95-3653 (ADS), the employer was sued over the layoff of 232 unionized engineers. The plaintiffs allege that there was age discrimination in the selection of engineers to be laid off. The collective bargaining agreement between Unisys and its engineers was negotiated by the company and Local 444 of the Engineers Union. The bargaining agreement created a seniority system within Unisys, and called for a distribution of layoffs between three tiers of seniority, with one senior engineer being laid off for every two middle-level engineers and every three junior engineers.

PRIVACY VIOLATIONS FOR PROFIT;
CHASE MANHATTAN BANK

January 26, 2000

Chase Manhattan Bank cut a deal with an unnamed Denver Internet company to share their CREDIT CARD FILES and HOME MORTGAGE clients files on more than 18 million of their customers for a 24% COMMISSION on all sales made to these 18 million VIOLATED credit card holders and home mortgage customers by the undisclosed Denver internet company.

Pharmaceutical records are also being shared across the nation at an alarming rate. U.S. Citizens have vitually NO LEGAL RECOURSE to sustain even a modicum of privacy pertaining to their confidential electronic files since Congress REPEALED last year a depression-era law (GLASS STEAGALL ACT) that had restricted banks from entering the securities and insurance industries. This REPEAL made it a free-for-all for jointly owned corporations to share data on their customers, OPENING UP THE DOOR for virtual ACCESS on nearly any U.S. citizen and their confidential portfolios.

All EUROPEAN nation's to date have IRON-CLAD legal restrictions against such BLATANT CORPORATE INTRUSION.

U.S. Federal Government officials have completely stepped back from protecting U.S. citizens. There is currently only a FEEBLE PATCHWORK of Privacy Laws in any way protecting Americans from total loss of privacy over their personal and confidential records.

Jim Finn, spokesman for Chase Manhattan, says that this kind of snafu "... does make it easier for customers to understand their rights ... [and] gives the customer, in the end, more CHOICE."

TOYS 'R' US --- FINED $200,000
by Dept. of Labor for CHILD LABOR VIOLATIONS

"WASHINGTON OUTLOOK, 2000"

"TOYS 'R' US HIRES F.A.O. CHIEF, HOPING TO COAX BACK CUSTOMERS"

by Dana Canedy

"[...] the appointment of John Eyler, FAOs chairman and chief executive, comes at a critical time for Toys "R" Us. The company, which has been operating without a permanent chief executive since August [SEE STORY ABOVE from "Chain Store Age"], had a dismal Christmas despite Pokemon madness."

CONGRESS'S MINIMUM WAGE PLAN

[excerpted from USA TODAY, by Owen Ullmann]

"[...] The Senate minimum-wage increase was passed as an amendment to a bankruptcy-reform bill that would make it harder for people to walk away from credit-card debts. That measures's fate is uncertain.

An increase would benefit 4.4 million workers who earn the current minimum wage of $5.15 an hour and another 7 million making SLIGHTLY more, who also would get a raise.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., assailed the GOP proposal as "a TURKEY with three right wings." He complained that it would stretch out the wage increase, eliminate overtime pay for millions of workers and give "juicy tax breaks" to the WEALTHY."

[...] Jesse P. Schaudies, General Counsel for RANDSTAD North America, a subsidiary of the DUTCH company that owns OFFICE SPECIALISTS, said "we have no basis for believing there was anything improper" in its dealing with the Pension Agency."

Editor's Note: Randstad also owns now ACCUSTAFF, so watch your BIG BROTHER's Ass ... cause Office Specialists, Accustaff, and hordes of other temp megaliths are all under ONE Monolith now!!!
