She informed me that the Senator voted for the Franken Amendment and I spoke of the possibility that the Bill might be watered-down from pressure by the Contracting Companies. She said that she would pass this info along.

I called Senator Inouye’s office and received a similar response. Hopefully others are doing the same, with 2010 being midterm elections, it is a good time to call elected officials to task.

THE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTOR MIGHT AS WELL GO TO WORK FOR THESE – ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATES “AT YOUR OWN PERIL”.

Does any current or former contractor believe that these companies are for the individuals they hire?
We don’t have an organized lobbying group going to pitch our perspective, because we don’t control the $$$$$. We have to wait until these companies dump on us and then hope and pray that we can find an attorney willing to help us. If this ends-up in favor of binding arbitration – the individual contractor might as well go to work for these organized crime syndicates and understand that you them “AT YOUR OWN PERIL”.
