Therefore, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent but thousands of bureaucrats "have no performance criteria" upon which they are judged

This is certainly an issue wherein

the moral and
the legal

options are both exceedingly right and must be enforced at all levels and in virtually all contexts.

Let our outrage be felt!

Those federal supervisors that terminated the jobs of civilians called up for military service in Iraq should themselves have their jobs terminated and be indicted.

What they did was against the law.

NLRB Huh? The very ones that rifled through my books for months because someone said I hadnt paid a couple hours of time and a half. Yet these SOBs do this.

Big deal. Digital Equipment Corp. used to do this regularly. Another feather in Bob Palmer's cap.

The problem is greater than what is stated here. It is not merely a matter of holding jobs open for reservists called to active duty, although that is important.

The problem is that far too many people who are in a position to hire have no personal or family experience with the military. If they did, then companies would be quick to recognize that veterans make better employees.

As it stands now, military service on a professional resume is tolerated as a "youthful indiscretion", or viewed as a "tie-breaker" between two resumes with the same level of civilian experience. A population that is increasingly ignorant of martial virtue has led to military service not being respected and valued as an indicator of character and ability.

The government of the USofA has become a tool of satan, run by greedy, self centered, lifetime politicians who need to serve then get the hell out.
No healthcare and pensions for life. The rst of us dont get those things and niether should they. We are looking at the destruction of america for our children because we have not controlled the greedy politicians.
Tsk, tsk tsk

Corporations or government agencies that do this need to be posted on a red-bordered "pinko" page on the web that anyone can quickly view.



No comments on the website pages, just names in yellow listed in order on a pink page; thereby avoiding the obvious instant lawsuits of leftie lawyers.

On the advice of my attorney, I filed a USERRA claim with the veterans' section of the US Department of Labor, Pittsburgh office. The result was just as described in the article: my federal agency refused to grant credence to my complaint, and the OSC refused to prosecute.

This shit makes me sick. I feel so bad for these returning veterans!

How do we find justice when federal officials are in a hurry to clean off their desks, as in, wipe away your case just to satisfy the federal agency.

When U.S. Army Maj. Joe Cherry left his federal job at the National Labor Relations Board in Chicago because he was called up to fight the war in Iraq he received an unexpected going-away present. The major wouldn't have to worry whether his government job would be there when he returned - the federal government made that decision for him, firing him on the spot.

Gee, there was someone else in Chicago who was fired, until the company was reminded that it was illegal to fire someone because their active duty military service kept them off the job.

Hi joesnuffy, you posted this article, how do you feel about this travesty of justice that our veterans aren't getting their jobs back after they're called up for war?
