Hearing on USERRA, Veterans' Preference in the VA Education Services Draft Discussion Bill
Author: United States. Congress. House. Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Subcommittee on Education, Training, Employment, and Housing
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This document records oral and written testimony given at a hearing before a subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The testimony pertains to veterans' preferences in hiring in the federal government and problems veterans are having in being reemployed after stints of active duty or during reductions in force (RIFs) at federal agencies. Those testifying included members of the House of Representatives, representatives of veterans' organizations, and officials of the Clinton Administration. According to the House members and the representatives of veterans' organizations, veterans have been faring badly in applications for employment and in protection against RIFs because bureaucrats do not support veterans and do not follow the law. The legislators have proposed bills that would provide for redress for veterans hurt by bureaucrats' failure to follow the law of preference in hiring. Administration officials, however, pointed out statistics that show that hiring of veterans has increased greatly during the past several years and that veterans have fared much better than nonveterans during RIFs.

The Civilian Lives of U.S. Veterans
Author: Louis Hicks
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
In this book, 50 experts study the lives of U.S. veterans at work, at home, and in American society as they navigate issues regarding health, gender, public service, substance abuse, and homelessness. The aftermath of modern war includes a population of veterans whose needs last for many decades—far longer than the war itself. This in-depth study looks at life after the military, considering the dual conundrum of a population benefiting from the perks of their duty, yet continuing to deal with trauma resulting from their service, and of former servicemen and servicewomen trying to fit into civilian life—in a system designed to keep them separate. Through two comprehensive volumes, essays shed light on more than 30 topics involving or affecting former servicemen and servicewomen, offering a blueprint for the formal study of U.S. veterans in the future. Contributions from dozens of experts in the field of military science cover such issues as unemployment, homelessness, disability, access to higher education, health, media portrayal, criminal justice, substance abuse, guns, suicide, and politics. Through information gleaned from surveys, interviews, participant observations, secondary analyses, and content analyses, the chapters reveal how veterans are able to successfully contribute to civilian life and show how the American workforce can benefit from their unique set of skills.
