As the Sister of a brother who is diligently looking for employment with the understand that employee are not hireing, he have come agains something that I fee is descrimanating against him because of his age.
I am sure that he is not the only one who have this problem, other as well. I say this because of our country is going into what it has named Baby Boomers, but what about those left behind, the one in between 50 through 60 these are the ones left out, unless they have a medical disability they are left to defend for themselves.
Which I think is a Direct Discrimination of their rights they have been cut off from getting hired by Big Companies Rules that are out dated. The President and other advocate retraining yet when these people do just that (my brother have trained for many position retrained) they are cut off by rules that they are to old to join certain unions to name to of the biggest one the Electrician Union and the Pluming Union. There are more, but these come to mind.
Because of their age people are told (after training) that they do not qualify for these position because of their age. Experience should be the key to optaining a job as well as getting into any Union not age why are there age requirement yet some parts of our Governing forces want to raise the Social Security Age Liminate. This will not work because Companies have age limination giving them the rights to discsriminate against any one over the age of fifty. My brother and others want to work yet are denied to do so. The Federal and State Government who are pushing the reeducation for jobs, had better take another look and decided what to do about those In Be Tween.
Training phycilities and School, that are receiving Grant Money are charging hugh amount to the student who are not guranteed a job, with out this gurantee these people will be unable to pay and now are thrown int a situation worst than the ones that they was in before the retraining. If companies that could hire keep descriminating against the ageded there is not point in reeducation if training phycilities and collages are not telling those who are being reeducated and retrained that they will not qualify for certain position although these programs are offered, they are not giving those who apply for these program any way of making a life decesion of their own. What shoule we as society do just sit back and watch this social injustice play out? No not now I will be contacting my Governor as well as State Senator, this can not go on please do the same for your Citizen In Between.
It began way back when the world first began that peace was broken. First man broke the peach when he decided to give up his spiritual life for a nonspiritual one.
Peace seem to elude us we can not come together on any one thing the only agreement that man can say that he agrees up on is this To Disagree.
We will not accomplish peach unless everyone decides to come together and leave self behind.
In order to do that one must take a good look withing and admit to that in which is the truth and that in which the sinful body want. To accomplish what man want there is a need for some seriously changing of thoughts and then some seriously changing of minds and of heart. Growth within begins to shine through and set one above the fray of the world one will began to see things that the ordinary eye can not see.
This is the true way of thinking and acting that Will bring peace to our world also an admittance of Global Changing. Now we are reacting out of self instead out of spirit.
To days society is none forgiving and it seems that we need to take a good look at ourselves.
We make laws that makes no sense we in prison those who break laws that have no impact of today's world because we are not that society to forget. If we lock some one up for committing a crime and that person servers his time did that person pay back to you and the law that stated "you for what one has done they must serve five to ten years". Did that person give out of his or her life the time that was dictated by you the time you request?
Now allow me to ask you this when do one pay back society? In some state all rights are striped away from any one who has paid their dues from them how do you say on one hand for committing a thief the judge gives you a sentence of ten twenty years. After one has done that what was by law in which society set up only to find that he or she must serve that same theft over and over again.
No work cannot rent a place to live, but I paid that in which the laws stated I must do, this is a set up to fail they are not expected to succeed they are expected to return to prison. In most cases this is what happens one must have something to eat or a place to live.
I read where a person who had been in prison won the lottery and some thought that the person with the ticket should not have the money yet that person payed what ever the price of that ticket cost. We are selfish unforgiving and hurtful of others.
Shouldn't we be rehabilitating these people so that they can migrate back into society and become law a biding citizens. Shouldn't Correctional Centers be just that a correctional center instead of jailers with guns and night sticks. Most of these people are just as bad a those they are suppose to be correcting. How does one correct some one if they themselves need some oversight into someones life, without training on how one should treat another person. I have visited those place and can tell you first hand most of the guards that are there know one thing how to hurt another person.
It us up to each of us to see that our brother sister is safe. This I agree with but if one sell drugs or sell a gun even having a gun with out firing it why should this person pay for the rest of his or her life for it. Why do they go back to doing the same things because this is the only way they can make on the outside. Remember they cannot become employed doing the best of times now that the economy the way it is today. I cannot say.
What I do know is some changes need to be done and I will such out to find out what to do.
