Book excerpt: There are just over two million men and women in the uniformed services of the United States. By voluntarily joining, all have signaled that they are prepared to risk their lives to defend their country. They do not appear at first blush to be a vulnerable community. Yet their unique situation -- predominantly young and financially inexperienced, often relocated or deployed abroad, and sometimes facing inconsistent access to phones and internet -- has made them a target for the unscrupulous.Even as they drape themselves in the American flag, corporations have foreclosed on servicemembers' family homes, repossessed their cars, scammed their pensions, fired employees called to active duty, and even profited from their life insurance policies when they have been killed. Congress has passed laws to protect the rights of servicemembers and veterans -- including the Military Lending Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act -- but corporations frequently use legal maneuvers like forced arbitration to avoid accountability when they violate these laws. The injustice to servicemembers and veterans doesn't stop there. Servicemembers are also being denied the constitutional rights they fight to protect because of a 1950 Supreme Court ruling, known as the Feres doctrine, which mandates that no servicemember can hold the government accountable for negligence or wrongdoing. And veterans who experienced physical or psychological injuries during their service are now battling opioid addictions or are facing severe, sometimes fatal ailments after being exposed to toxic substances. When the government fails to protect the rights of the men and women who make up America's first line of defense, the civil justice system has proven to be the last line of defense.

A hearing is a meeting of the Senate, House, joint or certain Government committee that is open to the public so that they can listen in on the opinions of the legislation. Hearings can also be held to explore certain topics or a current issue. It typically takes between two months up to two years to be published. This is one of those hearings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Citizen-servicemembers are those brave volunteers who serve in our nation's military on a part-time basis in one of the seven branches of the Reserve Component. These citizen-servicemembers are often referred to as "weekend warriors," because they spend the majority of their time working in their civilian career field, only doing their reserve duty on the weekends. The "weekend warrior" mentality might very well have been the expectation of our citizen-servicemembers when they joined the Reserve Component, but today's citizen-servicemembers are finding they are spending more and more time activated and deployed to hostile environments. Historically, our country has always utilized its Reserve Component, but since the Gulf War in the 1990s, our reliance on citizen-servicemembers has grown exponentially. Recruiting and retaining citizen servicemembers is critical to maintaining a sizable military force capable of meeting its mission requirements. Reserve Component recruiting and retention boils down to an individualized cost-benefit analysis. We have to provide citizen-servicemembers strong benefits and protections to outweigh the costs associated with frequent activations and deployments. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) provides many benefits to citizen-servicemembers, primarily associated with reemployment rights and discrimination; but it needs to be strengthened to be more effective. A recent amendment to USERRA to create a hostile work environment cause of action is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done. In order to strengthen the law, USERRA needs to be statutorily amended to specifically preempt mandatory binding arbitration clauses in employment contracts and to encourage state's to waive their sovereign immunity and allow individuals to sue state employers in federal court for violations of the law."--Leaf iv-v.
