Also this unfair labor practices are many times shown to be outside the country, but they have many that still happen internally within US. Take a look at these cases, Wal-Mart has been accused of practicing unfair labor standards in all their retail stores throughout the United States. According to an article written by Bryce Covert and published on the website Think Progress Wal-Mart has recently been downgraded in market rating. “Wal-Mart was lowered from a “market perform” rating to an “underperform” rating, citing three main causes: understaffing, and erosion of its price advantage against competitors, and costs associated with intensifying pressure from workers organizing” (Covert, 2014). Wal-Mart workers filed 30 counts of unfair labor practice with the National labor Relations Board (NLRB).

While Andrea was collecting data for the partnership return she came across data that “bothered her greatly.” She discovered the partnership's 'Miscellaneous Revenue' account actually consisted primarily of expense reductions. She also noticed that expenses had been blatantly lumped into the previous year which resulted in a significant increase in net income for the current year. Andrea did not feel comfortable with this information and confronted Ed to reconcile these differences. At this point Ed lost his temper and became confrontational spewing banter that she was not hired to audit numbers, his previous tax preparer had inquired about this, and had been fired as a result. Andrea decided to resign as tax preparer for Skyline Views, LLP.
The United States was afraid there were more Japanese spies plotting another attack. More than 110,000 Japanese families were forced to relocate into internment camps for national security reasons.

What disciplinary problems became more widespread and evident within the armed forces during the latter stages of Vietnam? Why did these problems exist, how were they handled, and what was their overall impact on the war at large? Approaching the end of a purposeless, wasteful, undefined, and futile show of power, armed forces personnel understandably became restless. Compound with leadership disorderliness, indiscipline spread quickly amongst the ranks. Beginning with mere lack of proper grooming standards; as sympathetic solders of the antiwar movement lacked proper haircuts, displayed peace medallions, penned “UUUU” on their helmets meaning “We are the Unwilling, led by the Unqualified, to do the Unnecessary for the Ungrateful.” Desertion rate was at an all-time high, for all services during the Vietnam era and more so around the world.

Trouble arose in 1989 at the resigning of the general manager, due to “irreconcilable differences” (p. 574). An additional couple hired for replacement lacked “European hospitality practices” (p. 574), and financial as well as clientele deteriorated under their lead. Due to the adverse effect, new management was hired late in the same year. Vacancies and financial decline were the Inn’s confrontations. The reoccurring problems the new general manager, David Bart, was up against, were mainly due to front desk inadequacies, threatening their
