Title: Obama proposes letting the jobless sue for discrimination
Post by: Carl on September 27, 2011, 03:35:54 PM: Quote
Advocates for the unemployed have cheered a push by the Obama administration to ban discrimination against the jobless. But business groups and their allies are calling the effort unnecessary and counterproductive.

The job creation bill that President Obama sent to Congress earlier this month includes a provision that would allow unsuccessful job applicants to sue if they think a company of 15 more employees denied them a job because they were unemployed.

Another reason a business will be looking to sit on as much cash as possible...so they can defend against such idiocy.

I guess Obama can represent the lazy asses once he's out of the White House in 2013.

No, they might hire someone... after they trim staff to 14 people. Even then, it'll be a one for one exchange: One fired, one hired.

No, my guess is that he will be too busy suing all of us for discrimination for making him unemployed when we replace him with a more qualified person.

He won't be representing anyone, no law license anymore.
