Competition Between Overlapping Unions: Attributed To The Ineffectiveness Of Trade Union World
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. According to industry critics, the competition that exists between and among overlapping unions can readily be attributed nearly one hundred percent to trade union ineffectiveness. The extent to which this might be true – and that union structure is still responsible for many problems within the trade union movement – speaks volumes with regard to the way organized labor has transcended its original objective nearly a century and a half ago.

Dilemmas of the High-Tech Labor Market
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the problems organizations face in filling their high tech labor needs. Unemployment in the late 1990s has reached its lowest point in 28 years. It is difficult for any employer to find the right people to fill openings, but some observers claim that the shortage most greatly felt in the high tech industries even threaten continued local economic growth. Most organizations have Year 2000 concerns, but hiring for that reason represents only a small portion of current openings. Instead, more than half of all high tech openings have resulted from company growth, and more than half of those are in applications programming. The face of corporate operation is in flux and moving toward greater electronic dependency; corporate America has all it can do to keep up. Two charts. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Exploitation of the Latino Population in the Food Industry
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which discusses how the Latino population is treated in the food industry in this country. The information obtainable indicates that there is no solid proof of the exploitation of the Latino population in the food industry today. That, however, perhaps only indicates that in larger areas, or areas where Latinos know their legal rights, and places of employment that are large companies, such as McDonalds and Denny's, the Latino population is not exploited, but that such may well be the case in smaller areas where the Latino population is not large, or where the establishment is small and privately owned.
