Temporary And Part-Time Worker Outreach Effort
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 Quote: 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 can do. There is a draft of a flier uploaded on the forum attached to this post, and it is here for anyone and everyones use, 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. The attached flier should be downloaded and distributed as written. If any alterations or additions are made by anyone other than Save Our State management, they will have done so without our permission and may not use our corporate name. If you would like to propose changes to the official document, we welcome that, and encourage participation in our efforts by registering on the forum and becoming an associate or supporter of SOS. The main point of this particular effort is to educate citizens about this legislation, so we encourage other advocacy groups to embrace this idea in engaging any efforts of their own. Quote:

The above flier can also be handed to retail clerks you are making purchases from this year. They hand you a reciept, you say "thanks and here; I have something for you this year too!"
If you can think of other temp or part-time workers that might be affected by it, please post that here. |
