Ayatollah's Note:
This article in the Sac Bee has inspired an SOS campaign for me, and I hope if it gets any traction up here that others will follow it.
White-collar jobless join FedEx, UPS for holidays
http://www.sacbee.com/state_wire/story/2408535.html
FedEx and UPS, the world's two largest package delivery companies, hire thousands of extra workers every holiday season, usually college students and 20-somethings. This year, the unemployment rate is at 10 percent and many experienced professionals are looking for work. A lot more people came to job fairs wearing a coat and tie, said UPS spokesman Norman Black.
OK, so here's what we should do. We'll draft a flier and upload it on the forum here for anyone and everyone, but hopefully lots of SOS'ers, will download and print it. The flier will be advising temporary workers that there is another amnesty attempt in the house, and if it is successful, it will give legal authorization for undocumented illegal workers to apply and compete for these mainstream temporary jobs after it passes. If they thought finding work amongst thousands of unemployed was hard this year, think of the prospect of having to compete with an additional few million newly authorized workers.
With the season upon us, everyone of us that accepts a package from UPS or fed-ex or whomever will then also hand that worker a flier advising them that we support keeping scarce jobs confined to america's already unemployed legally authorized workers.
All in favor?
