SRS ACTS, Stimulas, ETC
Brewster:
Henry I was not aware of any such policy. What I just read said " submit your resume to one of..." not "submit your resume to only one of..."?

Henry,
I didn't mean to offend, just trying to make a point. I just talked to the tech and he is still P.O.d since his friend was hired by Noramtec with an $8/hr pay increase FOR DOING THE SAME JOB. Both submitted Noramtec and told ACTS not to submit their resume's. One slipped under the radar but the buyer was directed (threatened-?) to place tech #2 under ACTS.
ACTS - No real pay raise for 8 yrs.; medical as a joke ($1200-$1500/yr), no real vacation or holiday pay (all pro-rated on a per hour basis-miss a day and you lose that hourly holiday and vacation pay), and , best of all, you get to listen to David S. brag about the new ACTS airplane and playing golf, while you struggle with bankruptcy due to high energy prices. Ain't they special??
A friend of mine was submitted by BNI but pulled out by ACTS since she quit on them 5yrs ago. I thought SC was a right-to-work state. I guess Astrid hasn't heard of that rule.
I've been missing ya' Henry. I keep looking on SHRINE for your name. We'll have to catch up when you get back here. TTYL 8) 8) 8)

"Right to work" doesn't mean the worker has any rights. It means the employer has the right to bust unions. If it was me, I would play my trump card and bite my nose to spite my face. I would simply say, "I am not working for ACTS." If enough techs (about 3) had the kahunas to do that, SRS would get the point. There are long term DOE outages besides SRS.

forgive me Camella and Marssim for my of the world remarks. As for the situations at SRS maybe its smells like a rat,looks like a rat,so it has to be a rat.Right to work to often depends on who's rights they are defending,seems to me the common man has little rights if any.It would be nice to enjoy the work of your hands. (whoops more scripture, ;) ;)I have heard from one of the contractors about potential hiring this week,anyone else heard the same???
RAD-GHOST:
BetaAnt,
The prime contractor reassigned an individual to another company, without the individuals knowledge or consent? I'm finding that hard to believe! I'm thinking that, that individual sent a resume to ACTS in the past and ACTS listed him/her as an existing asset, otherwise known as, "Resume on File"! Obviously that individuals name was on some sort of list and the section 8 company played their trump card. If that individual accepted the job and reported to work under the ACTS venue, then they validated ACTS claim and screwed themselves!
A simple letter to ACTS, via US Certified Mail, (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, the GREEN ONE), disallowing ACTS any further representation on his/her behalf, would have yielded better results and probably a better wage!
Best of Luck.... ;D
PS: They HATE those Green Cards................ :'(
