| More consumers, workers shoplift as economy slows | | 2008-06-28 23:31:00 | | By Christine Dugas, USA TODAYOne morning last month, the manager of a Stop & Shop in Methuen, Mass., noticed a man, along with his young daughter, leave the store without paying for several bags of shrimp. When police arrived, they found something else on him, too: 20 cans of baby formula.Call it a sign of the times. Steadily and alarmingly, shoplifting seems to be rising at many retail chains, and experts are pointing at a prime cause: the sputtering economy."Wages aren't keeping up with inflation, especially the price of food and energy," says Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. "It just leaves less money for everything else, and that breeds a lot of temptation."Retail and law enforcement experts agree that they've seen an increase in store theft during the current slowdown — and not only from customers."It's clear that both employee theft and shoplifting are up," says Richard Hollinger, professor of criminology at the University of Florida who compiles the annual Na | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| Toyota lays off 200 temp workers at Tundra plant | | 2008-06-19 09:03:00 | | The full-size pickup truck woes continue to worsen, leaving even mighty Toyota little choice but to slow production of its Tundra model. In fact, Toyota's brand new plant in San Antonio that was built just for the Tundra will be shutting down a total of 14 days between now and October. Full-time workers at the plant will be able to use vacation days, take the time off unpaid or find something else at the plant to do while the assembly line is halted.Unfortunately, temp-to-hire workers aren't so lucky. Two-hundred employees who were hoping to land full-time positions at the plant will be laid off this summer. Toyota spokesman Mike Goss says, "We have a very long-term view of that factory in Texas. We're trying not to overreact. We're trying not to shut it down." Whoa... back up. Shut it down? We hadn't heard any such thing until it was spoken by Goss. Sounds like things are just as bad for Toyotas with beds as they are for pickups from Detroit.[Source: AP via My San Antonio] | | By: Car News | | |

| Ford to cut cost of salaried workers 15% by Aug. 1 | | 2008-06-06 16:58:00 | | The auto industry's putrid performance in May was an eye opener, and companies like Ford now have to readjust the adjustments they just made to their turnaround plans. Ford VP Jim Farley already braced his white-collar work force for a possible 12% reduction in their ranks, but a memo emailed today by Mark Fields, Ford's President of the Americas, reveals that the number of white-collar workers "reduced" will actually be 15%. Fields says in his memo (full transcript posted after the jump) that the company will "reduce salaried-related costs in North America by 15 percent by Aug. 1," which you, me and the guy who sits in the cubicle right under the AC vent know doesn't mean just cutting back on coffee filters.The reductions will come from a series of steps that should ruin the day for lots of Ford employees wearing a tie or pants suit right now.

| Workers at GM factory in Ohio prepare to strike | | 2008-05-14 08:33:29 | | DETROIT -- Workers at a General Motors Corp. metal stamping plant in Ohio have threatened to go on strike Thursday in a dispute over local contract issues, a GM spokesman said today. UAW Local 549 in Ontario, Ohio, near Mansfield has given the company notice that it will strike at 10 a.m., spokesman Dan Flores said. The company and local have been negotiating for months over local contract issues, which govern such items as overtime, work rules and job duties. A message was left for local President Pam Drake. Local plants negotiate their own operating agreements separate from the national contract, which was settled last year. The Ontario plant employs about 1,650 hourly workers, according to GM's Web site. If it occurs, the Ontario strike would be the third against GM over local contract issues. Workers at a factory in Delta Township near Lansing that makes GM's strong-selling crossovers have been on strike since April 17.

| More Health Care Workers Needed | | 2008-04-03 13:22:37 | | Increasing improvements and advancement in Medical Technology have made it possible for more Americans to live longer and sustain a more healthy lifestyle in general. This, however, would not be possible if not for the thousands of health care workers in U.S. hospitals working as nurses, doctors, medical technologists or Pharmacy technicians.Although this had been good news for several years, it has been obvious that there have been a great demand for more health care workers such as nurses and pharmacy techs in almost every state. This great demand has also followed good improvements in pay rates for those people working in the medical field. One good example is the pharmacy technician salary which has jumped in recent years due to demand for workers and scarcity of qualified professionals.

| More Evidence That Corporate Tax Cuts Help Workers | | 2008-03-18 00:00:00 | | A new study from three prominent economists finds that employees suffer most when their corporate employers must pay high corporate taxes. That contradicts the theory that has prevailed for decades -- that corporate taxes mainly hurt investors -- but it supports a recent CBO study by Randolph that found workers bearing 70 percent of the burden of corporate income taxes.The new study's authors are Fritz Foley and Mihir Desai of Harvard and James Hines of the Univ. of Michigan, and their study is titled "Labor and Capital Shares of the Corporate Tax Burden: International Evidence." They first presented it to the Brookings Institution in December, and yesterday, March 17, they presented it to the American Enterprise Institute.They find that the workers' share of the corporate tax burden ranges from 45 to 75 percent. This provides more intellectual ammunition to the growing group of lawmakers who are arguing that the U.S. needs a lower corporate income tax rate, a group that incl | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Repeal of Section 199 Will Hurt Workers in Oil Industry Rather than Help Consumers | | 2007-12-11 00:00:00 | | The Senate's energy bill (H.R. 6, The Renewable Fuels, Consumer Protection, and Energy Efficiency Act of 2007 ) hits the major domestic oil companies with a $13.5 billion tax hike over ten years by denying them the domestic manufacturing credit—known as the section 199—which is otherwise available to all domestic manufacturers. The ostensible purpose of this exceptionally bad piece of tax policy is to punish the "evil" oil companies for their record profits over the past few years. The tax hike will do nothing to lower domestic gasoline prices for consumers. Indeed, since companies are not likely to pass the cost of the tax along to consumers because of competitive pressures, the pinch will most likely be felt by workers in the domestic petroleum industry. The question is, how much? The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the repeal of 199 will raise $262 million in 2008 and $3.46 billion over the first five years.

You can be anywhere in the world, but you can work for a company overseas.Press Release:The newest arrival in the financial services recruitment scene, www.accountancyjobsabroad.com, has achieved three important goals in its second month of operation. Firstly the company has achieved a number one ranking on Yahoo for its key search term ‘accountancy jobs abroad’ which is unprecedented in such a short space of time. Secondly the company has signed up its first five employers to the site including two ‘Big Four’ Accountancy firms in Bermuda. Two leading captive management firms again mainly present in Bermuda, but also with opportunities in Cayman, the US, Barbados, and Ireland. Thirdly and finally the company was a headline article in one of Bermuda’s leading newspaper’s business section. Namely the Bermuda Sun.

| 'Secret shopping' pits workers against each other | | 2007-09-29 17:27:00 | | 'Secret shopping' pits workers against each otherIf your idea of satisfying work is to get paid in products, services or a small amount of money on a piecework basis for tattling on low-waged service industry workers, secret shopping just might be your dream job. Many retail and hospitality sector corporations now turn to secret shoppers, also known as mystery shoppers, to spy on their service employees and report every detail of the transaction back to management. They rate the entire shopping experience, from store presentation of products to employee compliance on the use of scripts and upselling techniques. Employees don't find out that they have been “secret-shopped” until days, weeks, or even months have passed. There is no opportunity for input from the employee into the secret shopping report. Finding service workers who are willing to discuss this practice on the record is difficult.

| Jobacle - The Podcast For Workers Who Still Have A Personality... | | 2007-09-02 16:17:30 | | Those that know me know I am a sucker for anything involving organisation, lists, filing etc. I know it's geeky. But I want another Pukka pad. I *need* more shinyshiny pens. I can't stop checking www.43folders.com in my lunch hour. I loved David Allen's Getting Things Done. Add to this my need for podcasts and you'll understand why I have been an avid listener to the Jobacle podcast since the start of the year. Previously called the Working Podcast and now simply called Jobacle, Andrew G.R.'s regular show is a great mix of practicalities and light hearted humour. Recently he's talked about why you should be talking to your colleagues more, how to relax at your desk, video resumes and the etiquette of reference letters. Each show is about 5 minutes, which means it's perfect for listening to on my way into work and it always makes me smile. Ain't too many podcasts I stay subscribed to beyond a couple of weeks but this one is a keeper.Go check Jobacle out, on the right you'll see the but | | By: Wolf Lullaby | | |

I was talking to one of my co-workers ... | | 2007-08-14 13:06:00 | | Picture itI was talking to one of my co-workers the other day and we were talking dogs and she said jokingly “Not a cat lover, huh?” she didn’t know I had a cat! I was horrified. She assumed that Dogger was my only pet! She had this idea because, well, if you didn’t know better,what with the life sized portrait of the dog, you might not even notice one 4x6 picture of my cat, the main message you take from my cell is that I have a dog. I mean, there aren’t a lot of Dogger pictures around, just the life sized portrait, the one of her smiling on the beach, the one of her grinning at the camera and one of The Kitty, looking glum. I think the misunderstanding can be traced to the life sized portrait, it sends message and that message says : Kitty? What kitty?How did this happen? The Kitty is the most photographed animal on the planet, Wegmans dogs don’t spend as much time posing as The Kitty does. There are super models who have less time in front of camera than The Kitty.

| Hospital Bans Health Care Workers From Lighting Up | | 2007-08-01 14:00:00 | | Key West,Florida BY ANNE-MARGARET SOBOTA amsobota@keysnews.comA nurse takes a quick last puff off her cigarette outside Lower Keys Medical Center before hurrying back inside to take the medical history of her next patient — a lifelong smoker who's starting to show early signs of lung disease.The irony of the situation is not lost on hospital administrators, who realize the double standard that is set when patients heading into the building see health-care professionals outside smoking — the same doctors and nurses who are encouraging them to quit smoking.That's why they're taking the Stock Island facility and the dePoo Building on Kennedy Drive smoke-free."We need to set the example for health care in the community," said Randy Detrick, marketing manger for Lower Keys Medical Center.

| Workers Have the Right To Remain Silent: A Podcast Interview With the ACLU's Bruce Barry | | 2007-06-25 06:00:00 | | The topic below was originally posted in my blog, the Intrepid Liberal Journal as well the Independent Bloggers Alliance and Worldwide Sawdust.“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”So reads the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. However, the Constitution does not prevent employers from encroaching upon the free speech of their employees. Even so, most Americans assume their right to free speech is protected in all aspects of their life – including their jobs.

| Undocumented Workers Have Been the First to be Laid Off in Housing Bust | | 2007-05-23 16:36:07 | | Check out the solid analysis by eminent economist Paul Kasriel by clicking the link below.
With less cash being paid to undocumented workers, less currency is in circulation compared to credit, which is a higher percentage of legal workers’ payment structure.
With low reported layoffs in the housing realm, but a significant bust definitely underway, it is pretty certain that undocumented labor has taken a significant hit.

| Silkworms - the little workers of Fez | | 2007-05-17 14:31:00 | | It’s a craze every year. All over the medina you’ll see boxes of small grey silkworms being fattened up on layers of mulberry leaves. Now there are boxes of yellow cocoons too. The View from Fez spotted these fine specimens half way down Tala’a Sghira this week. But it’s not just children collecting the voracious little worms. Lumen Reports: Travelling by taxi past the Baladiya’s office the other day, we saw grown men stripping a mulberry tree of its leaves. So while there are plenty of carts full of pale green or black mulberries for sale, the leaves are being collected all over the city to feed these hungry pets. And there are plenty of mulberry trees … hard little unripe fruits are scattered across the table at Thami’s restaurant, there’s a magnificent old tree by the fountain in Derb Jama’a El Hamiya … you can find them everywhere.But what becomes of the silkworms? Will there be a cloud of white moths over Fez when they all emerge from their cocoons? A | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |

| Are French workers really a bunch of whiners? | | 2007-05-15 12:53:59 | | Thanks to Panthère rose for bringing a report highlighting the French as a bunch of whiners this morning.Why is that though? Well, simply put: because it’s an industrial relations tactic that always works in France.
There are untold numbers of examples of the government caving in to demands that one law or another should be dropped because it just didn’t suit some aspect of the population to have it implemented. Two particular sections of the population really stand out in this regard though: students and farmers.
Last year we had riots going on for months because the student population didn’t want a law passed that would, at a stroke, make it both easier to hire and to fire them. It would have led to a drastic reduction in youth unemployment because, at the moment, once you employ someone, that’s it, it’s pretty much permanent. Net effect of the current situation is that companies employ less people than they actually need which, of course, reduces the | | By: Foreign Perspectives | | |
