[blindlaw] "Question" Posting

[Daniel McBride]

Ross:

Although I am not the Hall Monitor, I do not feel that an apology is
required.  Your question seemed legitimate to me.

At a time where blind workers must file suit to get minimum wage, is it a
fair question to ask why there is no affirmative action programs for hiring
blind persons generally.

Is it fair to openly discuss the nature of the EEOC's regulations being
matters of form rather than substance?

Again, I fail to understand why people are so ready and willing to be
offended.

Hello List:

I am the one who posted the "question" about why disabled job seekers aren't
being asked for binders full of their resumes to get more of "us" into the
workplace. It was my blatant reference to a comment made during the
presidential debate.

In view of the on list and off list reprimands I have received about the
posting, I feel that I should go onto the list and apologize for posting
what is, as it has been pointed out to me repeatedly, an off topic message.

I had thought that, in view of the underlying unemployment  issues that face
those of us on the list, and those of us who regularly post job listings,
such as myself and Noel Nightengale, that an idea to improve the employment
situation would be net with some positive thought provocation.

 Since I was wrong, I apologize to the list as a whole for my off topic
posting. It will not happen again.

Ross A. Doerr Attorney at law
