Tempcityusa.com Combats Serial Temp Abusers
For Immediate Release April 18, 2001 TempCity USA ™ http://www.tempcityusa.com Contact: Marion Paige EMAIL: rllc@usa.net According to the American Staffing Association nearly 2.9 million people per day are employed by staffing companies and assigned temporary work assignments. The staffing industry reports that the turnover rate for temps is greater than 400%. (American Staffing Association, www.staffingtoday.com, Suite 200, 277 South Washington Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, Telephone (703) 253-2020 Fax: (703) 253-2053) With a turnover rate greater than 400% for temps, it is easy for "Serial Temp Abusers" to operate freely and undocumented, given that the temp agency is not likely to alert temps to a problem client. Tempcityusa.com, a new interactive jobs board tailored to the temporary help industry, hopes to provide temps with a way to alert one another about what to expect from certain staffing firms and certain clients using a lot of temporary workers. "There are "Serial Temp Abusers" who eventually get to a point where they are unable to get any temps at one staffing firm willing to work with them. These people simply go out and find other staffing firms and other temps rather than face the fact they may be the one with the problem. Some of these people even have multiple lawsuits filed against them by temps while they are complaining about other temps to other temp agencies." Marion Paige, webmaster, Tempcityusa.com. "With an interactive jobs board like tempcityusa.com, a temp can look up an employer or a staffing firm and see what kind of experiences other temps have had with that staffing firm or client."
