In Friday's Afro American Newspaper, the position the clergy and community has set on the State Center Project job opportunities is posted.
Across the city we must agree that this project must have clear, concise job hiring goals for local residents and the participation of local businesses. We must monitor that the goals are met with punitive actions in place if there those goals are missed in any way.
Too many persons within the community are unemployed or underemployed to permit a public works project sponsored by the state to be awarded to developers and contractors without the needs of the local community being written into the agreements.
On Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. in the Harvey Johnson Center, 1219 Druid Hill Avenue, we will hold a meeting of persons who have initially registered to work and are ready, willing and able to be trained and gainfully employed.
We will not stop until the members of our community are organized, their voices are heard, and their concerns are addressed!
