A fundamental premise of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when it was enacted in 1935 was the rebalancing of bargaining power between employer and labor (Budd, 1996). Congress stated in section 1 of the NLRA that real negotiation is impossible when corporate law allows employers to become collectivized and, as a result, gives the employer collective power so great that the individual employee, who lacks this legal support and power, cannot bargain as an equal party. The result of this inequality, it found, was a ratcheting down of wages and working conditions and the destruction of commerce (Section 1, 29 U.S.C. Section ...

However, the process can be made smoother if the bargaining parties approach it with the right attitude and accurate information. "First and foremost, come to the discussions well armed with raw material and market data," Supply Excellence advises for (re)negotiating ...

so I can talk about the elements that are common among them. First, a mea culpa: when reading the Broward document on Safari, the browser only showed the paragraph discussing impasse, and I wrote a blog entry based on that assumption. After seeing several of the MOUs, I checked the file format, realized it was not a PDF, and put it into a different app. So my erroneous description of Broward's and Hernando's MOUs as dramatically different is my fault. There are some interesting variations (as I explain below, Hardee should not be included in the broader list), but I'll stick ... Read More

In the ongoing labor dispute between the company that manages the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel and Spa and the union representing many of its workers, the federal government has picked a side: the union.

The charges range from hotel management denigrating the union in front of employees to declaring an impasse in negotiations without first notifying the NLRB that a dispute was taking place. "It means that we have the support of the government behind it," said Local 878 ...

CHICO — A Butte County Superior Court judge has signed off on an order that has forced the city of Chico to reverse the December promotion of two police officers to the rank of sergeant.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
My question is this: why did Vesper kill herself? I get the whole 'old love was kidnapped' thing, and I get that she was probably going to be killed by Mr. White's associates. I also get that she was ashamed of deceiving Bond and leading him into a trap. But why kill herself once she could see that he followed her and was killing the bad guys? I saw the movie when it came out and watched it again on DVD this weekend, and I still don't get it. Any ideas beyond the obvious (JB has to have his heart broken for sequel reasons)? But why kill herself once she could see that he followed her and was killing the ...
