He did this a few years ago. Must be running short on cash for his leftist, racist crusades.

"We intend to inject ourselves into the struggle for fair access to energy," Jackson told a news conference.

This from a guy that doesn't pay his power bill on time.

Read: Jack$on found out that the oil companies’ profits are up, so he wants his piece of the action. Take a hike, Je$$e!

Maybe they should have diversity training for the CEOs so they can understand Jackson’s ebonics.

Those Justice Brothers ads he and Al are running on EIB are starting to pay off.

Even though, Halliburton is not an actual oil company, but a supply company that has deep roots in the oil business, the Vice President/Secretary is a BLACK woman!!

The oil is black. Why isn’t anyone protesting that we have no whites, yellow or browns?

In this paperback edition, the author exposes Jesse Jackson's life and works, uncovering a sordid tale of greed, ambition, and corruption from a self-proclaimed minister who has no qualms about poisoning American race relations for personal gain.

Say what? Is he wanting to get some brothers hired so he can get free gas?

During TransAlaska Pipeline construction each construction camp had an EEO officer and union reps. It’s hard to imagine it’s gotten slack in the oil/gas industry in the past 1/4 century.

The companies should hire whoever they think are the most qualified to help them turn a profit. If that means they hire nothing but Eskimos then so be it.

If big oil was as evil and non-diverse as the Meddlesome Mr Jackson seeks to imply, wouldn’t he have spent the last thirty years showing off his cement boots to the fishes somewhere.

He must have squandered all the protection money he received from Texaco.

Remember to thank Jesse when the regular hits $4.00 per gallon at the pumps.

Remember this RE:JACKSON; OIL COMPANIES; DISCRIMINATION

Texaco, Shell Workers Fight Discrimination

Worthly of Note: Oil; Employment

"Global enrollment in geosciences and other university majors relevant to the oil industry is dropping at the same time that the demand to devise new fuels and refining processes is rising. In the U.S., enrollment in geosciences hit a peak of 35,000 students in 1982 but now meanders around the 5,000 level, according to Scott Tinker, director of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas."

"It is now around 1965 levels," he said. While enrollment in these programs is rising in China and a few other nations, it's mostly below the level required in nations where oil is being produced." "The picture is even worse at the graduate level. In 1982, about 4,000 Ph.D.s and master's degrees were awarded in geosciences in the U.S., and nearly half the recipients went into the oil industry, said Raul Restucci, executive vice president of exploration and production in the Middle East at Shell. Now only about 400 to 600 advanced degrees are handed out, and only 20 percent of recipients go to work for oil companies."

"The industry is having a real tough time filling jobs," Restucci said. "People availability will be a key constraint for a supply side response to increasing demand. In Houston, half of the work force will retire in the next 10 to 12 years."

U.S. activist Rev. Jesse Jackson on Tuesday said his organization will target top energy companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips in a push to create more jobs for women and minorities in the industry.

Did Jesse turn up some sinecure-less bastards?

Oil company jobs aren’t like gubmint jobs. You need to read and write to work for Exxon or Conoco, and high school drop outs need not apply.
