Symbol for a National Union

November 4, 2015

My hope is that this be considered as a symbol for a national union, showing strength – NOT force or violence.

Consider this idea: National Workers Union based on the AARP model for seniors. That way all would be in the union

National Hiring Day: A Grassroots Effort To Get Jobs For The Country

June 14, 2011

NATIONAL HIRING DAY: A GRASSROOTS EFFORT TO GET JOBS FOR THE COUNTRY
 A Jobs Fair For The Nation.  “Working together to get us work.”

There is an idea that addresses the jobs crisis right now. It could quickly put hundreds of thousands of people back to work in one day.

It is not pro left or right.
It is not the property of any corporatio­n.

It is not the idea of any political party.
It’s totally voluntary…..and it helps all with little sacrifice from anyone
.

National Hiring Day – This is a day that corporations are encouraged to fill the 4 million open positions in the country, and larger corporations to hire one or more new employees. Corporations are called on to put patriotism first and help their country in hard times with one or more hires each. Those corporations that cannot hire, are asked to stop firing for that month.

Petition for National Hiring Day 

Republican­s should love this because it’s outside the government, voluntary and jump starts the economy.
Democrats should love this because it helps the people needing jobs.
Independen­ts should love this because it helps all with little sacrifice from any single corporation, group, or person.
Corporatio­ns should love this because with just a handful of hires they become part of a collective country wide jump start of the economy. National Hiring Day also helps them fill any open jobs positions. Many corporations are ready to hire, but scared to stand out and be the first. A National Hiring Day would help them by getting many other corporations on board.

The only solution for jobs and the economy is one that is NOT divisive, but inclusive – that does not only build with half of the country, but builds with both halves – that puts jobs ahead of politics and that puts the country ahead of party.

“A friend who is a numbers phenom, looked at all the numbers of these corporatio­ns and small businesses­. He discovered that were all the large corporatio­ns just to hire .5% of their work force and most businesses with fewer than 50 employees to hire one employee and those with up to 500 add two or three, then the unemployme­nt problem would be back down to the place where people would feel there is hope. Just a few jobs, from all these companies which are sitting on over two trillion in cash, … could get us on the way to a situation where people could heal their financial pictures and the country could have HOPE. – TXfemmom

Let’s say you run a business, by hiring one person, you are a part of this. Many others hire one or more. Then because you (and others) hired one or more, thousands have gotten jobs, lost insecurity and worry, and are ready to buy from you and others. AND they have a good reason to support your company. Just one hire from enough businesses and the whole country has a big boost. You help a little and get good will from thousands that find jobs, in return.

Time for new thinking instead of old bickering.

If the old ideas worked, we wouldn’t still have the problem.

Why limit choices to government policy?

Working together to get us work!
