Temp worker applicants who signed recall petitions won't be hired to check signatures

A client at a local temp agency was a little put off that signing a recall petition made her ineligible for an $8.75 an hour clerk job with the state.

"The temps can't have signed recall petitions," says GAB spokesman Reid Magney.

In liberal Madison, where it sometimes seems that every car has a "Recall Walker" bumper sticker, how easy will it be to find 50 out of work temps who haven't signed a petition?

"It's certainly possible that we're narrowing the pool somewhat, but it's important to do for the integrity of the process." Magney says.

I would tend to agree with him, but they have cheated and lied so much in Wisconsin that I do not trust anything Walker and his minions do or say. They will find a way to throw off the recall election, no matter how they have to do it.

1. "You have to give up you citizenship rights to be able to work for the state."

2. I would disagree that it protects the integrity of the process..

.... who's watching all those Walker-backer while they're checking the signatures????


on edit: should be a mix of approximately 50/50.

3. I agree with that.

Even if they hate each other, one of each should check on any disputed signatures.

4. makes sense. also no one over 62 can work in the medicare or social security offices.

and you have to show proof of colostomy bag in order to get a plumber's license.

5. With all the animosity out there... it's probably better this way.

Now, no Walker "psychophant" can say that the process is biased and people cheated and lets have a lawsuit to delay the process.

6. well if we removed everybody that has been fucked by walkers actions--very few folks left.

esp those who would be seeking temp employment

7. There is a case to be made that the ones that did not sign the petitions

would have an agenda also. In fact the ones that didn't sign would have more of an agenda to not count signatures.
