Book Description
This document records the oral and written testimony of witnesses who testified at two Congressional hearings on waste and misuse of federal on-the-job training funds provided through the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). Specifically, the hearings focused on the case of the extensive use of on-the-job training funds by American Home Products (AHP) in Puerto Rico. Witnesses, who included representatives of the General Accounting Office, the Department of Labor, the Puerto Rican government, and former employees of American Home Products, pointed out that many companies, especially American Home Products, took advantage of JTPA funds to hire workers they would have hired anyway, to train high school graduates instead of the more disadvantaged persons who were targeted by JTPA, and to use JTPA funds for excessively long training periods for simple jobs. The witnesses also alleged that American Home Products, and many other companies, used JTPA funds to train workers in Puerto Rico so that they could close older plants with more experienced workers. The allegations were denied by the chairman of American Home Products, who also was a witness at the hearings. (KC)

Exposing Federal Sponsorship of Job Loss
Author: Julia C. Abedian
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429837917
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Originally published in 1995, this book explores a number of subjects of significance for labor and economic policy, especially the role of U. S. tax policy in the relocation of jobs from the contintental USA to Puerto Rico. The book demonstrates the problems for the USA because of inadequate adjustment policies to protect the interests of communities and workers when plants close and production is relocated. It disproves the myth that markets will take fcare of workers and communities, showing that basic economics is concerned with market forces and not with equity, environmental and worker protections. The Whitehall plant closing case is documented and the economic and political context analyzed which caused that case to be instructive for broader economic and labor policy purposes. In a new age of American Protectionism, this book has enduring relevance.
