I hear you talk about a blacklist where is this blacklist and where can it be viewed? I got a part-time job with an ALT company and it is turning out to be bad. It seemed OK at first but turned sour pretty quickly. |

Tigerwood, I just posted something on the other thread.
I don't think there is an ALT company blacklist. If there was one, all companies that dispatch ALTs should be on there. What's the company name? |

The blacklist I have "hidden" in the stickies as we had some problems with the schools complaining and the threads subsequently disappearing.
The list is on here halfway down the page.

Can you tell exactly what they are doing wrong that is illegal? I dont just want to list one teacher's gripe session which more often than not tends to be biased and one-sided. |

Most of the companies are breaking the law by not being registered and illegally sending teachers to work at Boards of education and high schools. That is a matter between the companies and the Boards of Education.
It takes two to tango, and teachers still seek to work for these companies, in spite of the company making breaches of the law. As well as the illegal status of these companies I want to mainly emphasise instances where they break the Labor standards law and their treatment of foreign employees is illegal. The Blacklist is to put out discrepancies in contracts where it directly affects foreign employees.
I will also add that unless you join a labor union, you have no protection at all against an unscrupulous employer. Its all very well saying the dispatch company is doing something illegal but unless teachers themselves take matter into their own hands and confront such employers over their contracts nothing will change. |

It's more a of a three to tango situation, the BOEs/schools, the companies, and the teachers. The problem here is that the teachers are not aware of the law and the fact that they are getting screwed. Most of them are just happy to have escaped from eikaiwa.
Wouldn't it be easier to create a teacher dispatching whitelist? It would simply be a blank page. |
