Their purpose is to promote harmonious relations between the state of California and its employees, to establish peaceful procedure resolutions (Agreement covering bargaining unit 6 corrections April 1, 2011 through July 2, 2013). How the union effects the California department of corrections and rehabilitation, the benefits of the union to the employees.

...The Effects of Labor Unions Article Summary The article I have chosen for the case study is titled “California’s Oranges are Rotting on the Docks”. This article focuses on the efforts of the International Longshore Workers Union to reach an agreement with the Pacific Maritime Association. Negotiations between the two organizations have been proceeding for several months now, since July 2014. The two groups are attempting to iron out details for about 13,500 port workers to increase salaries, improve healthcare, and pension plans. These 13,500 workers span across the pacific coast, covering about 29 ports which serve as primary shipping ports between the United States and Asia. 70% of the United States’ imports and exports with Asia are serviced using the affected ports. The article notes that since negotiations begin, workers have gone on strike, cutting down the amount of hours worked each week. This cut back in labor has caused delays at the ports reducing the amount of goods being imported and exported. Produce has been rotting in shipping containers, meat is being held in freezers, and auto makers are not receiving needed parts. This strike has trickled down, affecting a number of different industries, which have all had to reduce production. Some firms have begun to seek alternative shipping methods, but none are as cost effective as using the Maersk ships carrying 18,000 shipping containers.

...There is little doubt that labor unions in the United States originated in response to poor wages and unfair labor practices of large corporations. However, some people today feel unions have outlived their usefulness as they are more interested in maintaining their own organizational structure and less interested in ensuring their constituents receive fair wages for their efforts and job security. Opponent of this perspective contend unions are still viable and point to the fact that unionized positions are on the average paid 21.8% more than non-unionized positions (SEIU). Union supporters argue that without the protections offered by union membership, management would revert to abusive practices. A unionized workforce that has been readily observed over an extended period of time is the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). The dominant union for state workers in Pennsylvania representing 45,000 employees (AP), AFSCME represents eligible administrative, fiscal, technical services, maintenance, engineering and scientific personnel. Negotiating with AFSCME has some distinct advantages for the government. Bargaining with the union representatives ensures the mediators from both sides are well versed on the issues and understand the contracting process. Without the union, the government could be reduced to negotiating with individual employees, creating an inordinately cumbersome process that would not produce satisfactory results for...

The taxation policy is also important to Alphabet Games due to the changing tax rates which may affect the company’s sales revenue and any profits or loss which they may make. VAT can also have an effect on the cost of the products they are development as it can increase/decrease the cost of raw materials and also the selling price of the complete product which will also affect any profit margins. The VAT rate has changed three times since 2008 which will have had knock on effects on a business such as Alphabet Games due to them altering selling prices to including the lower or increased VAT rate set by the government.

...Task 2 As a starting point the sponsor(s) need to address the following questions Why do we need to change; “To capture the increasing market demand for new generation engines and reduce the business reliance on an old, declining product with a single customer base”. What are we going to change; “Removal of the RB211 overhaul service and withdrawl from component repair activities as a by-product of the RB211” Can the benefits be measured; “Yes the analysis shows that the above would free up enough labour hours to serve the market increase in the desired products. This in turn leads to there being no requirement to reduce headcount as a function of the RB211 removal”. What happens if we don’t move; “ The Wales business will lose the opportunity for growth product gains to other GE shops or competitor businesses, combined with an on-going reliance on a declining product to support a large headcount, effectively threatening the future security of the business”. Identification of change manager(s). This position is pivotal if the initiative is to succeed. Ideally this person will be from the ranks of the senior leadership, carrying both industry and organizational knowledge and respect. Alternatively the company may look to bring an external source from another GE business to oversea and manage the change program. This has previously been used ( including large project teams who led the single site consolidation in 2002 appendix 3) although consideration must be given...

...Negative Effects of Television Television is the most famous media communication in the world. Almost all people use television with many kinds of purposes such as entertainment. In addition, television brings a good side for children to gain various knowledge outside of school. However, some parents claim that television brings many negative effects toward their children. Based on my experience, I agree with that statement. First of all, television can make a big wall among family member relationships. For instance, when children are addicted to watching television, they will feel lazy to do anything such as eating, sleeping, etc. Even when one of the family members tries to make a conversation, they will answer back as simple as possible. Thus, this kind of attitude would cause a bad effect to relationships among family members. Secondly; now days, there are many action movies shown either via theaters or vie television. Even though it is much fun, but secretly, it makes a new shape of attitude for children. For example, if children often watching action movies, in the future, their responses for everything will be full of rude moves. Therefore, it is hard for children to make a good relationship around them. Lastly, every scene of movie might give a bad influence to children. For example, there is a movie which tells the audience about an alcoholic’s life. In that case, it is possible for children to drink alcohol at such a young age. In summary...

...Factors Influencing Students Academic Performance in Nigeria Socio-Economic Factors Influencing Students Academic Performance in Nigeria Some Explanation from a Local Survey Nigeria like any other developing nations has witnessed series of political instability, with obvious effects on educational policies at federal, state and local government levels. This gradually laid the foundation of fallen standard in education at the primary and secondary school levels, which caused differential academic performance of students. In the quest of finding survival feet, the nation has evolved series of socio-economic and educational measures but these have not improved the social-economic status of families in the country. It is within this milieu that this study examines socio-economic factors influencing students' academic performance in Nigeria, with some explanations from Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State. The time frame of the study covers the period of 2004 to 2007. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) copies of questionnaire were administered to respondents. The study revealed that insufficient parental income, family type and lack of funding by governments are factors influencing students' academic performance. Based on these findings, certain recommendations are made towards improving student academic performance. Prominent of these include proper funding of education by government, sensitization of parents towards their children education and the support of NGOs to eradicate...

...how as a young adult she pulled herself out of the unhealthy lifestyle of her parents, and managed to make something of herself. In The Glass Castle, Rex and Rosemary are not the ideal American parents, but they would be considered effective. They would be considered effective because they taught their children to stand up for themselves, independent, supportive and supportive and always there for each other. One of the effects that the Wall’s parents had on their children was teaching them to stand up for themselves. “The mattress shot forward, and our arsenal of rocks flew through the air. I heard them thud against Ernie’s body and clatter on the road. He screamed and cursed as his bike skidded” (166). When Brian and Jeannette go against the neighborhood bullies they show that they may not have money or what other families have but they are clever. They demonstrate their cleverness by creating their own catapult to stop Ernie Goad and his friends. To sum it all up, Jeannette and Brian learn to stand up for themselves by being a team. The second effect that the Wall’s parents had on their children was teaching them to become independent. “I was afraid that Mr. Becker wouldn’t give me the job if he knew I was only thirteen, so I told him I was seventeen. He hired me on the spot for forty dollars a week, in cash” (215). Jeannette took care of her family, of her dad when he was drunk, of her mom when was in need of help, and of her sisters and her brother when they felt like...

...Proposal : Content on Television for children In my opinion, television is not safe for children in our society today. The television industry claims that it is not their responsibility to monitor what is readily available to children but that it is the parents’ responsibility. The industry is just there to make money. They are like any other corporate business in America, they only produce what sells, and right now the market for adult themed shows is much higher than children’s programs. Adult cartoons are being produced at a rapid rate. However, parents say they cannot be held completely responsible for what their children are watching on television and their main responsibility is to provide for their family. Studies have shown that there is a link between the amount and context of what is being viewed and an earlier sex rate in teens, sleeping difficulties in children, and the family structure being destroyed. Is the television that we as adults find humorous harmful to our children? This is important issue for society because the children are our future. How they grow and learn will affect our world for generations to come. It is the responsibility of the community to learn how to educate and inform community members on how to raise children to the best of their ability. It is a compelling issue for me because I have always been interested in how children learn and how it affects society. Knowing that one day I might be a mother has made me want to learn everything...

...Reasons why students get jobs and its Effects on their Studies by Joyce Jaro Daiane Aprill Dimaano Terry faye Corral Prencissie Litana Adrian Hernandez Major: Marketing Management A thesis submitted to: Edna C. Aquino Ed. D. English II Professor Introduction Undergraduate students have their own reason why they want to work on different fields. Not thinking that working can affect their performance in school. This study provides a reason why students get jobs and its effect on their studies that is suitable for tertiary level. This study involved a survey across our Business Administration students major in Entrepreneurial, and their opinions. The aim in writing this paper is to investigate the effects of working while in schools’ outcomes. On the contrary, working may provide valuable work experience. NBC news states that “Eighty percent of students reported working while attending classes, typically about 19 hours a week.” An increase in the number of students who work to finance their studies is often mentioned as one of the possible causes of these frequent dropouts. Recently, Kalenkoski and Pabilonia (2009a) found that students who work more hours on a particular day spend less time on homework on the same day. This is important because there are economic studies that examine the relationship between the time college students spend on homework and their subsequent achievements. These are...
