This is the perfect example of job of big government - propose to solve the problem it created itself.
So basically all hiring will cease.
I’ve got a better idea. Let’s sue Obama and the DNC for personal injury.
The way jobs are created is that somebody has an idea, goes out and borrows money and hires people to implement that idea, and prays that his idea generates enough cash flow to cover all the obligations he has shouldered and give him/her some income too.
And along come Eric Holder's people who think they have a "right" to those jobs.
This is an impossible criteria to pass judgement on.
I can see the consequences being
1) long-term unemployed will get NO interviews whatsoever. Who would want to risk bringing such a person in, and then having to reject them?
2) More hiring given to “insiders” - existing employees, friends, relatives. Fewer jobs will be advertised to the public.
3) Given that this will further destroy hiring and a flexible job-market, employees will fear even more losing their jobs. Using the language of the left - it will make existing employees easier to manipulate
4) more work for tort-lawyers, less for everyone else.
Now how the hell does he expect one could prove that this is why they were not hired?
Just what we need, another feel good but do no good unenforcable law. What a joke.
This is right out of “Catch-22”. I believe it was Major Major who had a strict rule, “You can only see me when I’m not in”. Now you can sue if someone discriminates against a person because he is not employed. Who is looking to hire only people who are working? And, by the way, you can’t make up rights. Protected classes are supposed to exist because their inalienable rights have been trampled. Unemployment is not an inalienable right.
If I hire someone who is currently employed, doesn’t the job my new hire left, open up a slot for someone who is unemployed? How does my action change the net employed dynamic?
I went to the dentist yesterday, and when I went to the reception desk to sign in, I was notified that there was no longer a sign-in sheet. It seems that having a sign-in sheet means that I could know who may happen to be in the back having their teeth cleaned. I asked the dentist about it later and he said that it was part of HIPPA (sp?) a federal agency that had informed him the practice had to be outlawed, in the name of privacy.
Lawyers don’t need another jobs vill
You want to literally dry up any sort of official job postings or advertisements at all, just put this into effect. It opens the door for every applicant to sue, let alone every interviewee not hired.
I’m of the mindset that if I have a company, I should be able to hire and fire anyone I want. Whatever happened to that idea? Oh yeah, unions and liberals, duh I forgot.
Take heart, it was ideas just like this that helped first Hoover and then FDR extend the Great Depression.
I feel like I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole.
If this idiocy and its purveyor(s) aren’t laughed into political irrelevance, you may as well stick a fork in this country.
Hey gang, when do the 5 years plans begin to roll out?
Does this meen John McCain can sue for ageism in losing to Barry?
Dividing America in every way possible.
Obama and his corrupt and treasonist democrats have created a business environment that discourages job creation.
This kind of nonsense may very well go a long way to creating a......... national hiring freeze.
When business is no longer driven by the accumulation of wealth, there is little reason to grow, at least in THIS country.
Obama is insane.
