Corporate refusal-to-hire and "What Color is Your Parachute"

[Democrats_win]

We are living in a world in which corporations continue to give great excuses for not hiring in America: several years ago, the excuse was that they were worried about the uncertainty of the health insurance debate. Now they're worried about the uncertainty of regulation. Just turn on the TV and you will hear the most fantastic reasons why they won't hire. Who knows, maybe they're happy with their massive profits and don't want to take the risk of hiring anyone. The sad thing is that all levels of governments continue to give these corporations big breaks in the hope that one day (when you-know-what freezes over), they'll start hiring again.


The book for job-seekers, What Color is Your Parachute talks about situations where job interviewers seem to always have excuses for not hiring you. Sometimes these excuses aren't even the real reason. For instance, the real reason might be something illegal like age discrimination. In that case, you're probably better off not working for them. The book advices that you go out and find the company that DOES what to hire you.

But, what happens when they don't want to hire anyone in America? Maybe it's time to start thinking about tariffs or some other incentive. Our leaders need to find corporations or encourage new businesses that WILL hire Americans. We're tired of waiting on the guys with the golden parachutes.

3. From a Daily Kos article on their front page right now:

We're supposed to believe that cutting taxes will encourage these multinats to hire?
Bullshit.

The NLRB hearing held at the beginning of the week produced plenty of anti-worker testimony from the usual suspects, but also lots of powerful statements—at the hearing and elsewhere—of why the NLRB's proposal to streamline union representation elections and cut down on delays and frivolous litigation is important. For instance, workers at the reality TV production company ITV voted to unionize seven months ago. Today, they are still waiting for their vote to be ratified. Similarly, a pharmacy technician wrote about delays she and her coworkers face en route to unionizing.
