privileges which they would enjoy if they had
conventional employment (for example a health care
plan, credit union, vacation pay, etc.).
(c) to reduce the burden on the federal and state
governments of the current unemployment insurance
system by emphasizing the placement of persons in
temporary work, contract work, and self-employment
as a means of keeping the individuals in the work
place and as a means of reducing the cost to the
government of paying unemployment insurance to
these individuals until they can obtain
conventional permanent employment.
Petitioner’s bylaws state:
It is recognized * * * that a large segment of the
population will never obtain conventional * * *
employment. This corporation, At Cost Services, Inc.,
a publicly supported charitable organization, is then
created and empowered * * * to assist the unemployed in
marketing whatever skills they may possess, and to
train the unemployed in skills which are marketable
* * *.
Petitioner counsels and trains unemployed or underemployed
individuals to become temporary service workers. Temporary
service workers, as defined by petitioner, include secretaries,
word processors, desktop publishers, data entry operators,
general clerical workers, receptionists, and light industrial
laborers. Initially, petitioner plans to teach its clients basic
computer skills in demand by local businesses that historically
use temporary office labor. Petitioner intends to become a “one-
stop-job-center” where job training and job placement take place
in the same location.
