BREAKING: Obama proposes letting the jobless sue for discrimination
Yahoo News ^
Posted on 09/28/2011 7:52:11 AM PDT by Scythian
Advocates for the unemployed have cheered a push by the Obama administration to ban discrimination against the jobless. But business groups and their allies are calling the effort unnecessary and counterproductive.
The job creation bill that President Obama sent to Congress earlier this month includes a provision that would allow unsuccessful job applicants to sue if they think a company of 15 more employees denied them a job because they were unemployed.
The provision would ban employment ads that explicitly declare the unemployed ineligible, with phrases like "Jobless need not apply." As The Lookout has reported, such ads appear to have proliferated in recent years, prompting an inquiry by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The most ridiculous, stupid and criminal proposal to date.
The lawyers are smiling, though.
Can’t get a job? Hit the lottery by suing the employer.
I can already see the unemplyment ambulance chaser ads on TV and billboards. Sickening.

"The job creation bill that President Obama sent to Congress earlier this month..."...is not going anywhere except the trash can, even in the Democrat Senate.

See
here. The jobs bill would give the unemployed protected status. They could conceivably sue if they thought they'd been passed over due to their unemployed status. This would have a major negative affect on hiring practices. Dumb? Yes. Part of a plan to dismantle America? Do I have to answer that?

As I said in another thread on this topic:
Choking the system with litigation and forcing businesses who are surviving during difficult circumstances into hardship until it all collapses.
Sounds like a Cloward-Piven strategy to me.

Well lets see how many companies trim their employees down to 14 just under the threshold before this idiotic law can take place. How many companies will bust their butts to expand and hire more employees and end up above the threshold now?
We need to have the water in DC checked, apparently something in it kills common sense, integrity, and intelligence.
