Enforce the Veterans' Laws
Force federal contractors and employers to comply with the laws governing veterans' rights in the workplace.
Why is this important?
Our Government is giving BILLIONS of your tax dollars to Federal Contractors and Employers who are denying Veterans their Employment, Reemployment, and Affirmative Action rights under the Selective Service Acts of the 1940's, 50's & 60's, the Veterans' Reemployment Rights Act (VRRA), the Vietnam-Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
The Secretary of Labor, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (DOL-OFCCP), the Veterans Employment and Training Services (DOL-VETS), and the Solicitor of Labor (DOL-Solicitor) are mandated by law to: 1) investigate complaints against Federal Contractors and employers, who are denying veterans their rights, and 2) to protect and to secure the rights of veterans in the workplace.
The Secretary of Labor, the DOL-VETS, the DOL-OFCCP and the DOL-Solicitor need to perform and execute their congressionally mandated statutory duties and responsibilities under the laws under their authority and jurisdiction by compelling federal contractors and employers to comply with these laws governing Veterans in the workplace.
The direct result of these Government Agencies failure to properly investigate complaints and to secure and to protect the rights of veterans in the workplace is the unconscionable and perfidious fact that 40% of the HOMELESS in our nation are veterans; the majority being Vietnam veterans. This number will increase exponentially with the return of the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans seeking their workplace rights from Federal Contractors and Employers and receiving the same SUPPORT from our Government and their Agencies as Vietnam veterans received.
I was denied all of my veteran's rights by my employer who is one of the largest Federal Contractors in the world; that being the Shipping and Longshore Industry. I became a "Whistle Blower" in the Shipping and Longshore industry for requesting my veteran's rights and by submitting complaints with the DOL-VETS, the DOL-OFCCP, the Secretary of Labor and the DOL-Solicitor's Office. I have suffered and endured four decades of discrimination, harassment, retaliation and the creation of a hostile work environment which subsequently led to my "Constructive Termination" by being passed over for promotions when I had greater seniority or scored higher than others who were selected over me.
The DOL-OFCCP was ordered by a Federal Court Judge to exercise their enforcement powers over my employer, Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), until they were in compliance with the Affirmative Action Laws governing veterans and handicapped individuals on December 15, 1994. In addition, the Judge found that the DOL-OFCCP's investigation "was so cursory or wholly unreasonable that the Court should view it as having not been made" and "as to be a "SHAM". It will be nineteen (19) years on December 15, 2013 since the Court Order and the DOL-OFCCP still has failed to comply with the Judge's Federal Court Order.
Please sign this petition and let's show Veterans that we truly support them and appreciate those who have given so much.
By signing this petition WE will be DARING TO SPEAK "TRUTH" TO AUTHORITY and EXPOSE OUR GOVERNMENT'S FACADE THAT THEY SUPPORT THE MILITARY!!!!
