At the January, 2008 hearing for the EEOC complaint I told the Salvation Army Director (and the Salvation Army attorney who was present) that I would drop the complaint in exchange for medical coverage.
They did not want to do that.
As of early July, 2008, it looks like the government will be paying the bulk of my medical expenses. Therefore... the remedy has to change.
At this point it seems reasonable to ask for either one of the following two options:
Option 1:
- Competent management has to be forced on the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army has to stop its notion that evangelical credentials are a sub for medical knowledge.
As long as they are receiving huge government grants they have to stop using that money in schemes to strengthen their evangelical missions. This complaint will be settled, as far as I am concerned, if they just put competent people in charge of their operations.
(OR)
Option 2
- If that is not acceptable to the Salvation Army, then... a donation to the advertising budget for this website would be nice. [I have averaged roughly from $1 to $3 dollars a day in google-ads. The money would be for more google-ads. Nothing else.]
AND... - It is necessary that Salvation Army directors take some kind of responsibility for their misdeeds. It seems fair to ask them to address each issue raised on each page of this website. Their unedited, written responses can be added to each web page on this website.
...
AND...
There must be some basic rules in place:
1) Salvation Army Clitheroe directors have to accept responsibility for a number of deaths caused directly by misconduct of senior staff. I don't know what a suitable punishment for this is.
Most of the victims of Salvation Army Clitheroe directors' misconduct have not been identified. I can help them identify their victims.
2) Pregnant women should not be expelled for petty offenses, and especially not when the Salvation Army gets a lot of extra money just to treat pregnant women.
3) Salvation Army Clitheroe directors and staff need to be given classes teaching them why client/staff sex is wrong in a treatment setting... and confidentiality classes... and classes in how to respect people who are not as fortunate as them in whatever way.
4) Falsifying statistics has to stop. If you need to fudge numbers to look good, then you need to work for a regular "profit" company. That stuff has no place in a charity.
5) The Salvation Army can't be allowed to just cover up abuses by its directors. There has to be some realistic way to challenge the most serious abuses by Salvation Army directors. Any person can listen to the audio of the two Salvation Army Directors and hear that there is a serious shortage of integrity among those people.
