If I were a human resource manager, I would be ashamed and I would feel like I didn't do my job, and that I just ignored a safety issue that was serious. The lawsuit costed the company a lot money and I would be afraid that I would lose my job over the lawsuit. The courts verdict would affect me greatly and I would be ashamed to go back to work. Their was no explanation as to why the safety complaints were never investigated
As illustrated in Out of this Furnace, proper operation of the blast furnaces was an impending life or death matter. Unfortunately, for the characters of Kracha’s best friend, Dubik, and Mike, their livelihood depended on the factory and the factory ultimately ended their life as well. “Dubik died two days after a blast furnace explosion blind and unconscious,” (pg.53). The explosion was later deemed an “accident”; however, Kracha explained, “In a larger sense, it was the result of greed, and part of the education of the American steel industry” (pg. 54).
I believe that this concern should be left to the company owners as individuals. Personally, I don’t agree with the fact that the way America gets other countries to bend over backwards is by threatening to cut off financial business ties. I feel that America is trying to gain control of the world by doing so. However, I do agree that any sort of discrimination is unethical and should not be tolerated. That is something that each countries governments should have control over, not a foreign country that threatens to cut off business associations.
Bemis “released” Bannister to seek employment with one exception—Mondi Packaging. Mondi declined to offer Bannister a job solely because of the covenant not to compete. In other words, Bemis asserted its rights under the non-compete provision as it related to Mondi and was thus obligated to pay Bannister his salary. She refused to pay him the 18 moth’s theses situation was a material breach of the agreement. They should pay him the 18 months to settle the case.
If Pat does files a suit of wrongful discharge, we will be able to argue that he was fully aware of the at will employment policy. If he argues that reception of the personnel manual is an implied contract, we will have precedent from the Dillon v. Champion Jogbra, Inc. case, 819 A.2d 703 (Vt. 2002), in which the judge ruled that it was not a breach of contract when another company fired an employee without cause (Jennings, 2006). In this same case the judge argued that it is the right of the company to modify the employee agreement (or personnel manual). Our personnel manual is ambiguous (as are most manuals). Any attempt to challenge the at will status will be difficult because it will most likely be left up to the interpretation of the judge or
It is unlawful practice to discriminate because of race or national origin. (American Disability Act, 1990). No order of the court shall require the admission or reinstatement of an individual as a member of a union, or the hiring, reinstatement, or promotion of an individual as an employee. (ADA, 1990). Mike’s services would be boring after the RIF and this was the reason for firing him even though he was an above average employee.
If Nolan was acting as a military assistant to a more senior officer, he wouldn’t be critical of its commanders as suggested in Source 3, because it would be in his role to follow orders. Source 1 also disagrees that Nolan was to blame for the disaster of the Charge of the Light Brigade because it says that the Light Brigade opposed his theories on tactics so he could never have suggested it. This shows that it would have been almost impossible for Nolan to make the decision as others were against his ideas. However, Source 3 disagrees as it says that Nolan wasn’t to blame because it says, ill-suited to deliver Raglan’s order for the charge, suggesting that it was not in Nolan’s characteristics to follow orders from anyone else. This means that even if it was his responsibility to deliver the order he would not have done so because, as it also states in Source 3, he is headstrong so he is self-willed, portraying that Nolan is to blame for the disaster of the Charge of the Light Brigade by refusing to follow orders.
After the flood, many people lose everything, and they had no choice but to accept these offers because they couldn’t wait until the lawsuit to follow through, not even guarantee that they will be compensated or win lawsuits. Arnold and Porter had a very intense dispute and negotiation progress with Pittston. That means while when Gerald M. Stern, who’s not only the author but also the one who won the case for the Buffalo creek disaster, just settled the lawsuit for the voting right for African American, found that this case really interesting and decided to take over. Stern found out every possibilities and evidences to prove Pittston was irresponsible for their actions, and pointing out the
9. The Wall Street Journal did not publish the evidence by Markopolos because then people would take it out on them because they did not do the investigation and its because of them they lost there money. 10. I feel that the SEC did not do their job because they should have at least see these transactions and they should have caught him before everyone lost their money. Just because Madoff had good connections with the SEC they still have done some sort of an investigation and at least say they did not see anything than just ignore it because now people are mad at the
The former employee, Pelvas, complained to the EEOC that the mandatory services are in conflict with his beliefs. One of the defenses that Townley used was the “undue hardship” if they accommodate religious beliefs of Pelvas, which would excuse him from attending the religious services. Townley lost in this argument because the court did not see undue hardship happening for the company if they not allow Pelvas to attend the services. For our situation, we can win in this case because our claim of undue hardship is valid, unlike the Townley’s. We needed this shift change because of business necessity.
