Wer Vermittlungsstatistiken frisiert, grenzt aus

Es liegt am System, dass trotz des Wirtschaftsbooms in Deutschland, Millionen Menschen in der Hartz-IV-Mühle gefangen bleiben, kommentiert die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Katja Kipping, aktuelle Medienberichte, wonach mehr als die Hälfte der erwerbsfähigen Hartz-IV-Beziehenden dauerhaft auf staatliche Leistungen angewiesen sind.

Der Druck durch gewollte Erfolgszahlen und Vermittlungsquoten in den Jobcentern führt zur Ausgrenzung derjenigen, die weniger Chancen haben. Gefördert werden hauptsächlich die leicht Vermittelbaren. Fest zuhalten gilt zudem: Auf eine offene Stelle, die dem Arbeitsamt oder dem Jobcenter zur Vermittlung zur Verfügung steht, kommen durchschnittlich acht Erwerbslose. Frisierte Vermittlungsstatistiken und Erfolgsmeldungen, die keine sind, nutzen niemandem und grenzen aus. Wirtschafts-, arbeitsmarkt- und sozialpolitisch müssen endlich ganz andere Konzepte her. Angebote der LINKEN für Programme im öffentlich geförderten Beschäftigungssektor und zur Arbeitszeitverkürzung liegen auf dem Tisch.

Interne Weisung eines Berliner Jobcenters diskriminiert Erwerbslose

In einem Berliner Jobcenter werden Erwerbslose in bestimmte Kategorien eingeteilt, aus der sich die Priorität ihrer Betreuung ergibt, wie aus einem Dokument hervorgeht, dass der Piratenfraktion vorliegt. Demnach ist in einer internen Weisung des Jobcenters Lichtenberg von ?Querulanten? und ?Dauerkunden? die Rede. Bereits im Juni diesen Jahres ergab eine Untersuchung des Bundesrechnungshofes, dass Langzeitarbeitslose schlechter betreut werden als Erwerbslose mit guten Chancen auf einen schnellen Wiedereinstieg ins Berufsleben...

Unjust Justice

Lewis R. Gordon, LRG Blog: In the murder of Trayvon Martin, race was not just a single factor, it was the most important. While media pundits and the prosecution tried again and again to divorce the case from its racial implications, it is precisely Martin s race that secured George Zimmerman his freedom and posthumously convicted an unarmed teenager of his own murder.

The Age of Hyper-Racism: White Supremacy as the White Knight of Capitalism

Michael Ortiz, Truthout: White supremacy is a fluid social framework that has morphed from the system of slavery to the system of Jim Crow, ultimately to the contemporary system of color-blind racism and mass incarceration, changing form but not the intensity of racial power.

Slavery s Legacies of Racism and Dehumanization of Labor Still Poison the US
