When staffing agencies discount workers over 50, when college or university degrees trump all skilled and experienced workers who are better qualified and when this type of discrimination forces the strongest workforce employees out of work, this nation is heading for a great downhill slide towards highest unemployment rates yet.
Until the government can better spend time looking into education/equality issues, legislating laws which prohibit forced extra long hourly work days and promoting hiring of older workers, accomodation for single parents, unilingual employees and protecting of jobs rather than allowing employers to lay off and fire at will.
Ever notice, the laid off employee suffers a two week penalty, never the employer who carelessly hires and fires. Let the employer pay the two week penalty and he will be more careful with staffing.
This is our money, 55% should be 75%...Go after the government officials at all levels and get our money back instead of attacking the already struggling citizen. If I cheat on my EI and confess at the Charbonneau commission, I won't be charged, nor will I have to pay it back right? Our people in politics have skewed direction and am fed up with the "protect my cushy government job and my political party".
We need government reform to quash this outdated format which exists today.
