My Boss, L.J. Watkins, wants to cut cost because of increased competition from another firm and some changes have already been made. Before these change Watkins Co. had a relatively laid back atmosphere in which supervisors did not frequently push or confront employees that often. Wages were considered low for the area and as a result workers would work overtime to make up for their low pay. They were unsupervised during these overtime hours and reportedly were very productive.
As stated, without the laborers performing a strike the improvements would just benefit the employers and the employees had to work for every little thing they got. “The strike is apparently hopeless, and must be regarded as nothing more than a rash of resentment by men too ignorant to understand their interests” (Doc. B). This is saying if they are too reckless to realize that they can be replaced by others. Many of the strikes were crushed and just failed.
Working conditions and treatment in the work place at this time were harsh, poor and inadequate. Reforms that had been introduced were frequently ignored by employers. The hours were extensive and they worked for little pay. Yet the workers did not complain in fear of being sacked. Even though unions had moved to improve the rights, justice and conditions of the workplace, it was not surprising that many workers were sacked for simply joining the unions.
They on the other hand cannot fail to work because they have people looking up to them to provide and support. For the fear to lose their jobs, workers do not speak up, protest or ask for salary raise. Even when the work load increases, workers are forced to work for longer hours without complaining or asking raise for the extra hour they are working. Workers no longer have a say or rights that they can hold to. Many workers fear losing their jobs because of the fact that finding another will be a hustle for them.
CONCLUSION Being put in a team to do assignments can be very hard for some people because they may like to work alone. But if you think about it if you work in a team you can get the work done in half the time. It won’t put a strain on you worrying how can you get the work done, knowing you have to work and do other day to day things. As long as you designate who is going to be the leader and do what the leader tells you or ask you to do, the team will be fine. Just think how exciting your paper will be with all the other ideas, they may think of things you had no idea even existed.
Are We Asking Too Much From Our Teachers? In August, Chicago teachers went on strikes. The teachers went on strike a day after they were given a nice pay raise. New teachers were being hired because the schools were now got to make the school day longer, meaning that teacher were going to have to work an extra 30mins, meaning a longer planning lesson. The article author Alex Kotlowitz say that union president Karen Lewis complain about the lack of air conditioning in schools and the new teacher evaluation system with the new teacher evaluation some teacher s would be laid off; many thought that this was unfair .
Failure to communicate: Everyone is guilty of this, I do it all the time in my marriage so how much more do I do it at the workplace! This is something that constantly needs to be realized as it happens all the time. Communication is perhaps the most important skill needed in life, and the lack of it will in some way inhibit true progress and start to cause a downfall at some point. Failure to listen: Once again a constant
It describes a perfect society in which everyone works together for the prosperity of the society that they live in. However, “Looking Backward” takes it a step further and explains the way jobs and training of future laborers would be structured. Those with hard jobs would work fewer hours and those with easier jobs would work more hours, but at the end of the week everyone would be paid and treated equally. Furthermore, Edward Bellamy envisions that before a young laborer steps into the workforce, he or she would take part in experiencing all the nasty and gruesome jobs that most of the people today dislike doing. Those include garbage disposal, lavatory cleaning and much more jobs related to keeping the society clean and healthy.
“Those supporting illegal immigration argue that the state of California along with other states has benefited from the arrival of immigrants due to the lower cost of labor and immigrant contributions”(Immigration Support 1). One of the main reasons why americans have unions is to make sure their getting paid enough for the work they put into a curtain company. Illegal immigrants cant be part of a union because they are not citizens nor do they want to be deported so they are willing to take up anything to make money for their families. “Illegal immigrants tend to have a reputation for being hard workers and will take on jobs that Americans would not normally take” (Immigrants Support 1). On the other hand, American feel that immigrants are taking their jobs from them, which in reality they are.
On Fridays we close our store according to the flow of customers and because it was close to a month- end, there was a steady flow of customers.
