Express Employment Professionals makes it possible for businesses that contract through them, to have a never ending supply of drones to do their dirty work. Workers that the businesses can misuse, mistreat and otherwise burn out knowing full well that the Express office will provide them with someone else that they can do the samething to.

 
Now I am sure this all sounds supremely ominous and slightly over the top, but I assure you, the statistics and facts don't lie. Express allows a business to obtain workers that the business does not have to give the benefits that a true employee of said business. There is no chance for a better wage, chance for promotion, medical benefits and protection from sexual harassment, discrimination and religious persecution.  The business also doesn't have to pay overtime nor is responsible for workers compensation for an injury on the job.  All this and the business can claim the worker is actually their employee when it comes to showing the public what they have for employees.
 
Express has also made it possible for certain states to alleviate themselves of individuals that are on unemployment benefits.  They provide a states Department of Labor and Industries job listings on the states recommended employment database. If an unemployed individual has not located a job, they are contacted (via phone or called into the local office of the states job source center) with a listing of jobs they have to apply for in order to remain on unemployment benefits.  A large percentage of these jobs offered are extremely undervalued and not worth the time, effort and travel to them for an individual to even consider taking.  Here is where Express helps.  If an individual (whose following what they were told to do) goes to the local Express office, signs up and meets with a job counselor and refuses to take a job recommended to them (based on the wage, travel distance or job description) Express drops them and reports it to the state department of labor and industry. This effectively causes the individual to lose their benefits for refusing to take a job.  There is of course the ability to appeal this decision, but that process can take up to three months to finish. Three months where there is no money coming in at all.
 
You maybe reading this and wondering how can this happen and nothing be seen in the press or publicly addressed on the radio or tv.  That is very simple to answer. Express does not require an individual to pay for their services in locating them work. This allows Express to go ungoverned by a states attorney general office. There is also the factor that any local, state or federal politician benefits from what Express does for the employment rate so they will assist in covering up the multiple failures to those individuals that make the real mistake of going to Express in the first place.
 
I will not be so bold as to say that Express hasn't helped people and that there aren't success stories out there. Problem is that they are few and far between, just like those that have been able to get medical benefits that Express offers.  In order to get medical benefits from Express, you must work for one full year.  If you miss more then five days, the year starts over.  Express offices literally have the ability (and have done so to thousands of people) to see that the year is coming close and removing a worker from work long enough to avoid having to enroll in medical benefits.
 
All in all, Express Employment Professionals is not good for this country and have far too much control over employment. Control that is granted to them by federal, state and local government officials that are more concerned with making themselves look good in the eyes of the public, rather then making sure that people are truly employed and not just working. 
 
If you question what has wrongfully been done to you, the corporate office sends in an individual named Kirk D. Auston to deal with the problem.  Mr. Auston claims to be the Asst. Lead Counsel for Express.  Problem is that he not only is not employed by Express (he is a paid consultant living in Kansas, but you can reach him by contacting the corporate office) he is also not a licensed or certified attorney at law (information obtained from the American Bar Association, Oklahoma Bar Association and Washington state Bar Association).  He will intimidate you into going away claiming that you do not have a claim of wrong doing. In my case there was a documented false police report filed by the Senior Manager of the Express office in Bellingham, WA. He blew it off, saying that false police reports happen everyday. That maybe true, but not when a manager of a business is doing it in order to retaliate against an individual that caught said manager lying. The facts were presented to the Co-founder of Express (William Stoller) and he did absolutely nothing.  Another sign that Express believes that they are above the law.  
 
How can I say "above the law"?? It is simple. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General office and was given the run around and ultimately the complaint disappeared. Multiple members of the office of the Attorney General, including the Chief Deputy Attorney General (Dave Horne) and a Deputy Attorney General (Darwin Roberts) made sure the complaint vanished.  It isn't just the Attorney General of Washington State that has made my complaint and the complaints of literally hundreds of thousands of people go away. It is also the DOJ. A total of 40 emails were sent and completely ignored.
 
Express Employment Professionals is not only a menace to the US, it is also international and who knows how bad it is elsewhere. If what they are getting away with in the US is any indication, it's not good.
