It recognised that the industry needed to be reorganised but rejected the suggestion of nationalization. The report also recommended that the Government subsidy should be withdrawn and the miners' wages should be reduced. The leaders of the miners and the TUC refused to accept the report and the threatened a nationwide General Strike which inevitably took place in May 1926. Workers were adamant they weren’t going to work for these wages and as a result they protested which gained heavy media coverage, there famous slogan which showed they weren't going to put up with these unreasonable wage amounts was “Not a penny off the pay, not who persisted to protest without jobs. These are most important reasons h resulted in the TUC calling a general strike in 1926.
People like Adam Smith, Ralph Chaplin, Friedrich Engels, and Karl Marx attempted to address certain problems and even offer solutions. Government legislation attempted to solve the problems of Industrial Revolution by passing laws that stopped the worker’s rights from being abused and production from being slowed. The Combination Act of 1800 hindered the growth of unions. Unions interfered with the speed and quality of production; therefore, in the government’s eyes it would have been better in the end if the rights of unions were stifled and their ability to go on strike was inhibited. If the workers went on strike there would be less products produced and then the prices would go up, because demand was the same while the supply goes down because there were no workers working in the factories.
It is so evident of a problem in our political process. So what can be done? Do we smack the cooperation’s on the hand and tell them to stop, or do we continue to allow this. I believe that we need to bring the hammer down on these groups and let these companies know that is not okay to abuse our legislative process. But the problem is none of this will happen in congress, the representative’s will not budge on this and everyone knows that because they must protect their reelection funding.
However, when unions rised up and demanded fair wages, employers would have to consider these demands and negotiations would have to take place. This is one of the reasons why companies, such as the Western Union Telegraph Company, would demand employees to sign a contract which would allow them to fire employees who join labor unions, this was also known as a yellow dog contract or ironclad oath. In 1890 the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was signed into Law. The Anti-Trust Act had many loopholes, and big businesses turned it around in their favor, against the workers, who it was supposed to help. This was used to curb labor unions that were deemed to be restraining
For Lenin, the party was to be a group prepared to seize power as soon as possible yet on the other hand, for Martov, the main purpose of the party was to spread propaganda and raise the level of consciousness of the proletariat. This was because he did not believe that Russia was ready for a Marxist revolution for many years. Lenin believed that is the Mensheviks had their way, it would take years to start the revolution; they would just waste time on useless discussion and argument. Martov, replied that the revolution would fail if it did not have the support of the whole working class. The social democratic party remained spilt on the issue.
The main argument against increasing the wages of these workers is that it will have a negative impact on the developing world because workers will lose their jobs. He refutes this argument by stating that companies, rather than anti-sweatshop protestors, make the decision to shift the locations of their factories. He concludes by appealing to college students to pressure universities to purchase products in factories that are respectful of workers’ rights. He provides information about student unions that support this cause. Although he states many arguments about working conditions he provides very little evidence to support these arguments.
Every business wants to know how well they will do in the near future, but when the position of a law maker is open it is almost impossible to know what the future may bring. If companies do not know if the laws being made are going to raise or lower costs of operations then how will they know if any company will still be around to continue business thus increasing cost because of the witch to a competitor. (Berr, 2010) Whether it is a local or a national election the people who are making laws will always affect any business within their jurisdiction. Any size company should always take into account that the future will not be as easy to forecast if an election is up coming. Any previous month’s numbers can not be relied upon as much as they would be able to in the past to help in the production of any Pro Forma document.

Management also discussed the possibility of those employees who had no intention in learning the skills conducive to function in an EMR based facility. The team believed this could cause an increase in employee retirement, terminations, and a reduction in volunteer employees because of noncompliance. Even more than finance pressures of implementing the EMR system, management thought that the community impact and political influences would also be a huge presence that could hinder a successful change. Keeping local organizations informed throughout the process is important to preventing possible issues in this area. Change is always hard when it concerns a large undertaking like the EMR system, everyone gets involved.
Without perseverance, comes no solution. The importance of SOB’s efforts is really the main idea behind it all. If we don’t exercise our rights by protesting for a just cause, they will be taken for granted and taken away. The importance of protests is somewhat diminished as time goes by because we can’t march to better healthcare or cause civil disobedience to change the budget deficit. We need to conduct meetings and propose a plan
