How Can You Help The Unemployed?
October 6, 2011 by admin

AOL Jobs
By: Wendy Powell
The unemployment rate is holding firm; companies continue their refusal to hire the unemployed. We wonder what more a nation of desperate job seekers can endure. They are terrified and we can all become a member of that class of people, the unemployed.
The broad assumption is that if job candidates are unemployed, they must be damaged goods. Companies think, they wouldn’t have been laid off if they had added value to their company; They weren’t part of the cream of the crop who survived. Think again, companies are desperate for survival. Banks aren’t lending, companies can’t expand, government is regulating, and companies are eliminating positions that include highly paid, and imminently qualified individuals they unfortunately could not afford to retain.
And many candidates have been in the Catch 22 of applying for jobs while still employed when they are fearful of being laid off. Their employer finds their resume on a job site and they are let go for lack of dedication.
Many look to Washington to create jobs. The reality is that government can create a business friendly environment for companies to thrive and hire. Now we are talking and we need to shout it in the communities, streets, and businesses, that there are unemployed people that need us and we need them. Businesses cannot forget that they need American consumers to buy their products and services.
One monumental and creative idea: Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz’s well-publicized call to companies to withhold contributions to political campaigns and support jobs is gaining strength. Spend the money earmarked for political campaigns on employees and hiring issues, he says:
“The only way to break this cycle of fear is to break it. The only way to get the country’s economic circulatory system flowing again is to start pumping lifeblood through it,” he wrote. “That is why we today issue a second pledge. Our companies are going to hire. We are going to accelerate growth, employment, and investment in jobs.”
Stunning idea that he now has over 100 companies and over 21,000 of individuals following suit. There are over 3,000 pledges to hire and it’s growing by the day. Supporters include AOL, J. Crew, Hasbro, PepsiCo, Whole Foods, J.C. Penney.
I am intrigued and I am watching. We can’t forget that we are a nation that is motivated by money. Money talks and money works. There are millions of dollars in political contributions that vanish into thin air. We will be watching to see the promised investment in jobs and people. If the Political Action Committees of Unions would follow suit with a refund of some of the dues money to their members used for political contributions, now we are talking about putting money in peoples’ pockets.
Here is the connection to the unemployed: You refuse to consider unemployed candidates, you won’t get my business and my money. Find out who is refusing to hire the unemployed and make informed decisions about your future purchasing power. Due to the public scrutiny, many are refraining from the bold posting of “You must be currently employed to apply for this position.”, a clear and deliberate violation of the principles of bonafide occupational qualifications: qualifications that make sense considering the required competencies of the position.
People are desperate. Should “unemployed” be a protected class of people? Opinions swing wildly about this topic. In fact, many Americans think this is already a protected class. We have never dealt with this problem before, but we haven’t had a contemporary problem of this magnitude with jobs either. The unemployment rate is holding at 9.1 percent, 14 million Americans with no movement since April, 2011.
Now, it has gotten to such a feverish pitch that there is proposed legislation in Washington, The Fair Employment Act of 2011, that would add unemployment status to the protected class list of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Protected under this proposed legislation are individuals actively looking for unemployment during the most recent 4 week period and currently available for unemployment.
This bill, introduced and being deliberated in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, is not expected to gain momentum but the mere fact that this bill needed introduction is a stunner. We never would have fathomed that we would need this type of protection.
If this legislation or some facsimile becomes law, how would the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, (EEOC) handle the title wave of new complaints from job candidates who assume they were rejected solely based on the proposed new category of a protected class? Job candidates, could apply for multiple jobs and file appeals based on the lack of consideration. For employers, the cost of litigation would be unmanageable and considerable. The result?; it is likely to be less hiring and more fear of EEOC claims.
Since June 1, it has already been illegal to eliminate unemployed job seekers in New Jersey. There is similar proposed legislation in New York,
An incentive for the unemployed has been introduced as part of President Obama’s new Job Initiative. Proposed is a new $8 billion program that contains incentives similar to the little known HIRE Act of 2010. Under this proposed plan, hiring employers would get up to $4,000 tax credit for hiring unemployed candidates who have been out of work for six or more months. Opponents on both sides of the political coin claim that this incentive does little for the long-term unemployed, and considering the limited success of the HIRE Act, employers likely won’t take heed of the benefits.
There are limited statistics about the success of the HIRE Act for comparison. The HIRE Act was discontinued in early 2011.
Can we make a connection between the qualifications of the currently employed and those unemployed due to economic slowdown? Are we not incumbent to hire the most qualified candidate based on our selection criteria? Nonetheless, employers are leaving themselves vulnerable to prove no connection between irrelevant qualifications and the protected classes. That is the law.
The ethics of this problem are monumental. We already know that it is legal to eliminate a sector of society from consideration as long as they are not a protected class. But we need to ask, “Is a business ethical that eliminates the very group of people who need to be gainfully employed to turn around this desperate economy and buy their products?”
Employers need to think about their reputation in the marketplace. If they will not consider a whole sector of qualified individuals, their market share may diminish. Word travels fast and if potential employees stop purchasing or doing business with their companies, they will suffer economically. Employers are not untouchable. They may become part of that unfortunate mass called the unemployed. It happens every day.
In a heartbeat, any of us can become that unemployed job candidate. President Harry S. Truman said ” It’s a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it’s a depression when you lose your own.” Any one of us can be plunged into that category including the hiring managers who won’t consider the unemployed. We are all in this together Americans.

Ted Turner Wants to Control the Media
October 19, 2009 by admin

The Hollywood Reporter
By Paul Bond
No knock on his “good friend” Jeff Bewkes — or on Superman — but Ted Turner wishes that he were running Time Warner so that he could make some changes at Cartoon Network and CNN, the cable news channel he founded 29 years ago.
At CNN, he wants “less fluffy news and more international news,” especially about China, Turner says in an interview set to run on Bloomberg TV on Friday. “Less talk, more news,” he says.
As for Cartoon Network, Turner tells anchor Betty Liu, “If I had control of it, I’d put ‘Captain Planet’ on at a top time period so that kids would see the environmental superhero instead of just Superman.”
The environment, along with population control and nuclear disarmament, have been pet projects of Turner’s for decades, and he has been spending more time with those issues since retiring from media a decade ago.
But he clearly misses his former occupation. When Liu asks him if there are any media mergers he’d like to see happen, Turner responds: “I’d like to see me running Time Warner.” He says later, “I’d like CNN to report to me, and the Cartoon Network.”
He did, though, give the thumbs up to the notion of Comcast acquiring a part of NBC Universal. “Go for it,” he said. “You’ve got to do something. They’ve got a real good cable system. And they don’t have that much programming.”
Then again, Turner was also a proponent of AOL’s purchase of Time Warner, which, nine years later, is generally regarded as the worst merger in corporate history.
Turner also says that Viacom-CBS mogul Sumner Redstone was correct when he said at a conference that selling Turner Broadcasting to Time Warner was Turner’s downfall.
“He’s right. I made a mistake. I was tired,” Turner tells Liu.
Turner also says he “buried the hatchet,” as Liu put it, with News Corp. topper Rupert Murdoch about 18 months ago. He dropped him a note the other day telling him he was doing a good job with the Wall Street Journal.
“He didn’t write me back. He might not have gotten the letter,” he says.
Not that he’s a fan of print newspapers: “You’re chopping all these trees down and making paper out of them and trying to deal with all the waste paper. It’s the biggest solid waste problem that we have.”

More Email Passwords Hacked

Mail Online
By Kate Loveys and Graham Smith
The massive security breach that led to millions of Hotmail customers being advised to change their passwords has now spread to users of email services including Gmail and Yahoo! Mail.
Up to 21million people and businesses who use the Hotmail service in the UK were warned they are potentially at risk of being defrauded after passwords were acquired illegally.
Around 10,000 passwords were obtained by hackers who created a fake website identical to Hotmail’s to fool users into entering their email address and password in a ‘phishing’ scam.
‘Phishing’ scams involve using false websites to lure people into revealing important data such as bank account details, login names or passwords.
Now the BBC claims that another list of over 30,000 email addresses and passwords is circulating, which contains the details for Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL, Comcast and Earthlink accounts.
The latest list was posted on Pastebin.com, the same website to which the Hotmail list was originally uploaded.
How to avoid being defrauded
- Change your passwords every 90 days
- Use different passwords for various internet log-ins
- Do not open unsolicited email attachments and links
The site, which is intended for web developers to share code, has since been taken down for maintenance.
Hotmail’s list of users was posted anonymously on to Pastebin.com on October 1. The list was reported by technology blog Neowin.
It is feared that the information could be used by fraudsters to access email accounts and steal personal information such as credit card account details.
A spokesman for Google, which runs Gmail, said: ‘We recently became aware of an industry-wide phishing scheme through which hackers gained user credentials for web-based mail accounts including Gmail account.
‘As soon as we learned of the attack, we forced password resets on the affected accounts. We will continue to force password resets on additional accounts when we become aware of them.’
The firm stressed that the scam was ‘not a breach of Gmail security’ but rather ‘a scam to get users to give away their personal information to hackers’.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘We advise people to take a commonsense approach and change their password.
‘It is early days but we have yet to receive reports of fraud linked to this breach.’
A Microsoft spokesman added: ‘We are aware that some Windows Live Hotmail customers’ credentials were acquired illegally and exposed on a website.
‘Upon learning of the issue, we immediately requested that the credentials be removed and launched an investigation to determine the impact to customers.
‘We are working diligently to help customers regain control of their accounts.’
Some of the accounts appear to be old, unused or fake. Other addresses on the list include Comcast and Earthlink accounts.
A spokesperson for Yahoo urged consumers to ‘take measures to secure their accounts whenever possible, including changing their passwords’.
