JOBFIT THE NEW FAS JOBS SCAM, SAME QUANGO ROBBING WHAT COULD BE PAID JOBS FROM THE NEWLY UNEMPLOYED AND WORKING CLASSES THEY PROPORT TO ''HELP WITH SOFTSKILLS TRAINING AND PREPARING ONE FOR JOB READINESS'',ANOTHER SCAM COMING FROM THE DOORS OF OUR DAIL..!

JOBFIT looks set to replace FAS,currently they have a scheme for junior cert leavers and have rolled out their scheme to leaving cert students,and are set to cater for the beyond leaving cert students!They have to date spent 32 million on 12,000 students of this ''job scheme'',where by they subsidise multinational multi billion pound companies with free labour,the same structure as the fas jobs scam.

Why would the company involved in getting your work for free,simply turn around and hire you??And when they are under no obligation to,where does this 32 million go?Angela kerins the head of JOBFIT has recieved 32 million for jobfit and it is part of the TGB UK network,with our irish coins falling out of the country,who is there to ask the sometimes unpopular hard questions.RTE perhaps?Angela kerins is also the head of rehab care an ''NGO'' / ''Charity'',have also recieved 54 million off our government for Rehab Care,with all this money treacling out of our communities,what do the JOBLESS get back from all this??Angela kerins has some political influence with Fine Gael,and was one of the very few top execs who REFUSED TO STATE WHAT SHE EARNED,with cronyism like this where one can have two jobs,where there are some unemployed out there ,WHO DO NOT EVEN HAVE ONE JOB!
Fas have been robbing what could be tax returnable paid jobs for the community for years,and have gotten 1 billion for this,backed by fianna fail,and of course who could forget the scandal with roddy molloy,mary harney and her husband abroad,spending the reserves of FAS on their business travel to NASA?One apprentice of FAS,stephen was told abruptly via email that his trip was CUT SHORT,while they were in the U.S.A themselves enjoying the junkets?If he didn't ring joe duffy,it would be yet another scandal under swept under the corrupt carpet of FAS.Who could forget the scandal of one full time lady being replaced by two free ce workers staff,and when their term was finished they would simply be let go without any futher job oppurtunities?I have had a few experiences myself where i was told to go out of my job spec, and do the work of other full time staff,while they sat and drank tea,the supervisor who i was working with was an ex drug addict and ex welfare merchant with a bad attitude,and had no previous work experience,who only got landed the role because her mother held a more senior position in dublin's head office,she even employed her boyfriend on the scheme as a ce worker,and she even lied for him when he stole off of me,these are the sort of people who work in FAS.When i finally had put up and shut up for far too long i went to SIPTU,but ALAS FAS HAVE ONE OF THEIR OFFICES THERE!I know there are some unemployed and people down on their luck thinking about signing up with a FAS course,maybe some students who have no jobs,signing up with a FAS course,but think about it,JOB AGENCIES LIKE JOBFIT AND FAS ARE THE REASON THERE ARE NO JOBS IN OUR COMMUNITY!!!I know there are going to be a lot of ce workers who think FAS is the best thing to happen to them,because they want to keep their benefits,but these FAS jobs don't boost up your welfare anymore,they only did in the 90's..What is the point in joining this agency now,they cannot sustain themselves as it is,and will have to cut further,who will be the first to go,the ce workers of course,which i find incredible!!!Being honest,as the supervisors and middle managers and do littles are the expense i would see as economically viable to cut first!?
FAS(like our new ''job agency'' is not about jobs for you and me,FAS is not even about the long term unemployed they OFTEN PROPORT TO HELP AS PROTRAYED IN THE MEDIA.Although FAS is about,junkets for the politicians who set this quango up and it is often used as a springboard and is the last chance saloon for the failed in politics,just like paul o toole,who when he was minister for government,he racked up a 50 k bill on one trip!He never attracted many tourists to ireland even in the days of the fake celtic boom either!This is what FAS is about,cronyism of the highest order,after all they are backed by Fianna Fail.There is a culture of corruption from top to bottom with agencies like this,they seem to be a magnet for those with criminal records,dubious history,and little or no work experience,or simply none at all,it is basically a quango set up by a quango,now while rehab and TGB network are creaming the funds out of our pockets, for their outfit and jobfit,where are the tough questions from those politicians elected to represent our interests?????
Now you may ask well..What is the difference with JOBFIT?I will tell you the ONLY differnce with JOBFIT is that they are backed by Fine Gael,they are the same type of quango,it has the exact same structure as our last ''jobs agency'',FREE LABOUR,NO JOB PROTECTION,REPLACES WHAT COULD BE TAX RETURNABLE JOBS WITH FREE LABOUR,STEALS JOBS FROM THE COMMUNITY,SUBSIDISES THE RICH MULTINATIONAL AT THE EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT REVENUE,ONE HAS TO ASK,ARE OUR POLITICAL BRIGHT SPARKS NOT SO BRIGHT?After all they are giving money to a semi state agency whose only concern and function is it's own parasitic self survival at the expense of any community they happen to enter.They get a large chunk of government funds every year,without the tough questions.http://indymedia.ie/article/90107
Job fit is basically a similiar scam,the central idea is that they provide free labour,to whatever business might be interested in their services,and approach them.They got funded 32 million by our government this year for 12,000 welfare recipients.http://jobfit.ie/ ,and are the companies getting your free labour going to pay you and pay government revenue,well their not obliged to!!!!Companies are getting enough tax breaks,why have a ''service for the unemployed'' that subsidises them?????

Here is a breakdown of what you get..
You can get from one day and a limit,of up to four weeks ''job placement''.
The company involved with jobfit don't pay you a penny, and are under no obligation to hire you, even if a post becomes available..
This year, job fit also got extra funding a couple of mill, whats another couple of mill in a country that is JOBLESS and in DEBT?
They have had their job fit 'oppurtunities' AD campaign on the most expensive irish television station , yes you guessed it.. radio telifis eireann..


How can our government provide jobs for the community when they are letting agencies like FAS and JOBFIT steal what could have been a full time paid job for our nation which makes up millions,isn't it time we invested in the real people of ireland who can pay prsi in their droves as opposed to hiring yet another vampire semi state agency..

FAS and JOBFIT are about junkets and failed ministers,angela kerins and well to use one word ..cronyism,what i want to know is,where do the unemployed fit into this equation?Be under no illusion agencies like FAS and JOBFIT are no friend of the unemployed,I have seen agencies like FAS in recessionary times CHERRY PICK from the unemployed lines?FAS have also hired ex - cons on their schemes,why would anybody want to taint their name with a FAS course,i made enquiries about this and the head of the scheme looked into it for me,why aren't FAS more forthcoming about the fact they hire EX CONS,don't we all have a right to know about this????When their spiel is about helping the long term unemployed???What is the function of agencies like this anyway shouldnt they be cut loose,they seem to change their agenda when it suits them.

Why do our government persist on consigning people on the poverty line into further poverty and on letting agenices like this drain public funds and deliver very little in return other than pad their own c.v and of course wallet...I hear as you get richer your desire for more money becomes even more ravenous..


If you did the numbers you would be better off having all this agency rubbish cut loose.

Fine Gael is on the board of JOBFIT,and soon to be lobbying their interests if they get elected,as these FGers have jobs in linked organisations.

What will change in our still unreformed crony driven government(which doesn't seem to keep them out of trouble they are the laughing stock of the world) with semi state agencies like these draining funds of our government,and on the other hand providing no paid tax returnable employment,the only difference is that FINE GAEL is on the board of a SIMILIAR ''employment agency'',which i would prefer to call a free labour agency JOBFIT..What will change?With people like Paul o Toole sitting in on the board of FAS for a name change and more millions than sense,and Angela kerins of rehab care and jobfit holding down 2 posts,and receving 86 million,what are these agencies really about???Are our government ever going to see sense,what good is throwing all this money away when it essentially provides NO REVENUE?JOBFIT are not a ''NEW'' agency and don't..please don't believe the hype,i know all over the media,internet and tv there are glowing reports of jobfit,but i have to disagree with mary cochlan when she states jobfit works well,i think it is a little too bold and arrogant,not to mention a little bit too early in the game to be saying that!

Jobfit is set up to be the exact same quango with some FAS officiaries frog leaping on board!

Dont stand complacent while our government spin lies and steal what could be paid jobs in our community why subsidise to organisations like rehab care,TGB learning network,and JOBFIT,they are robbing government funds that should be spent more considerately and resourcefully on us!

I went to complain to SIPTU offices about FAS and asked politicians why JOBFIT is still getting funding,questions are never answered in these expensive lavish politicans TD clinics,your'e questions are not anwswered or you are ignored!

What good is having people like this run our country when they are only too happy to give to some big multi national at the expense of people losing their jobs,they give money to these agencies and get no revenue back?ARE THEY MAD?What difference will Fine Gael make when they are quite happy to fund these organisations,that take what could be full time paid jobs from the community.

Job agencies and charity NGO'S that behave more like an aggressive marketing multi national,are still given funding??????

These people are the new enemy of the working class! 

Do not blindly sign up as you are contributing to all the jobs being taken from your area!
