labor petition

Guys here is the petition, I am suggesting. This is just an edit version of what KnowDOL had suggested.
Dear Certifying Officers:

We are writing on behalf of the individuals who have signed the attached petition and countless others affected by the interminable delays in the Alien Labor Certification process.

Disproportionate Waiting Times Unjust

The delay in processing applicant's alien labor certification is causing great concern to many individuals. Many people's lives are unsettled, due to them being uncertain of the outcome of their pending labor certification. In addition, with today's economy, many do not know how much longer they will be able to hold onto their jobs.
It is important that the backlog in processing the labor certification is eliminated, to allow applicants to continue on with their green card processing, which will allow for them to be keep on working and be able to pay their taxes. With the green card in process they will also allow many spouse to be able to join the work force. This in return will benefit our economy.

Matter of fact throughout 2004, Chicago DOL Permanent Foreign Labor Certification Division has been in hibernation state. We are concerned of continuously piling permanent labor application at Chicago DOL. We are aware of Memorandum released by DOL on Sept 29 outlining the transition plan for labor certification processing during Fiscal Year 2005. The memorandum sets the goal of clearing labor certification backlogs in next 2 years through it's two Backlog Elimination Centres (BECs). We see this goal is only achievable if Chicago DOL doesn't stop labor certification processing in anticipation of passing the bucks to BECs.

Majority of the applicants has filed labor application on or before 2003. Considering 2 more years to clear backlog through BECs, it will take 4 years to clear labor certification only. Labor certification is first stage of mulit stage permanent residency process.

As it does not appear that the DOL Chicago has any accommodation for this most compelling case, we submit the attached petition and sample data supporting the need to eliminate these backlogs as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this most urgent matter.
 
This was posted already....!!!

I would like to remind you by comments made by higcoptimist in earlier posts. I think he has a valid point. In the final petition, please make sure the words carrying negative sense will be changed.

=========================================================

I am not sure if we could use

"In addition, with today's economy, many do not know how much longer they will be able to hold on to their jobs. "

Remember, the our labor certification is for the positions for which no local candidates are not available, or unwilling to work for. Instead we could express our intentions to continue to pay taxes, buy homes and materials, benifiting the economy constructively. With the present uncertain situation, we are emotionally very stressed, hence are holding back, from buying homes and actively participating in the upliftment of the communities we live in.

That's my two cents worth.

I agree with HighCoptimist.
Further it would be better if we can add the meaning ,"in an unsettled environment the skilled labor force will try to move to a settled environment. And distance being no constraint more companies would try to offshore the workforce where there are less constraints, which inturn will affect the economy.

Pal.
