Comments:
Temp agencies provide absolutely no benefits, no vacation, no medical,
no holidays, NADA. Don't fall for the fake benefits written up in the
brochures when you register and test at the start.
There should
be a government bureau that tests for ALL temp agencies and certifies
the testee for one and all temp agencies. They are scarcely
different, one from the other. Maybe one counselor can make a small
difference.
And be careful if you need to collect unemployment
benefits. Jobless volume is way up, higher than the Carter Recession
years, and escalating wildly, with no end in sight. The number of
first time applicants for unemployment benefits is shooting straight
up the charts like a Minuteman missle. Soon we will have tent cities
dotting every acre of America, of the near homeless and hungry, while
Asia grows strong with our factories headquartered over there.
Whenever you see a TV reporter in the streets, run up to the camera
and cut off the dumb reporter in mid-sentence and shout out that you
know what is going on, and for all others to do something about it,
IMMEDIATELY!
