Effects
Of The UPS-Teamsters Strike
[ send

A 25 page paper discussing the 1997 strike against UPS,
the first walkout in the company's history. While large
companies, especially those dealing business-to-business,
rarely use delivery services for order shipment, UPS had
been the delivery service of choice for many of the small
businesses in the country. The US Postal Service and other
delivery and courier services did what they could to make
up for the more than 12 million pieces normally handled by
UPS daily, but most were forced to place restrictions on
accepting new customers long before the strike ended.
While they prospered, many of America's small businesses
were damaged right along with UPS. Bibliography lists 17

their employees the most productive they can be, even if
achieving the highest level of productivity involves
contributing cash and encouraging the seeking of outside

Search Theory

always be incomplete if based only on wage as the sole
determining factor for the individual, but it can still be
valuable in aiding organizations to optimize their
employment recruiting efforts. Bibliography lists 2

Privacy In The Workplace
[ send

A 5 page paper discussing the issue of employee privacy as
it applies to electronic communication. Employers do have
a desire to ensure that the time they are paying for to be

With the pervasiveness of electronic communication, that
monitoring has grown in some areas to the point that it
has been called an invasion of the employee's privacy.
Those claiming such an invasion of privacy, however, are
forgetting that the employee is to be spending his time in
the employer's service. Though some employers may take
their monitoring efforts too far, it must remain their
right to be able to manage their businesses efficiently.

Is
Telecommuting Unfair To Women # 2 ?
[ send
me this paper ]
In this well-argued 6 page paper, the point is made that
tele-commuting does little more for women than keep them
at home-- where they were a century ago. Women who work
from their home office/computer are expected not only to
handle corporate business from 9 - 5, they are also
usually expected to take care of household affairs and
even to raise children during the same time. This stands
in contrast with men who cyber-commute but who are not
expected to do anything other than work during the course
of the business day. Various other relevant ethical issues
are discussed and it is ultimately concluded that women
have very little to gain in today's workplace.

all that she has worked to attain throughout her working

Jeffrey
Pfeffer’s “The Human Equation: Building Profits by

[ send

This 5 page report discusses the 1998 business management
book, “The Human Equation.” Author Jeffrey Pfeffer
asserts that far too many companies have focused on
creating a short-term and immediately more profitable
bottom line and better-satisfied investors without
considering the long-term implications of downsizing and
the shedding of old businesses. Creating a “lean”
economic model that stresses outsourcing has become a
driving force in businesses ranging from manufacturing to
healthcare. Pfeffer contends that a great deal of
“downsizing” is essentially a throwback to employment
practices that are more than a century old. Bibliography

A 5 page discussion of accountability in nursing. Contends
that accountability is an integral component of all
aspects of nursing. The nurse is, of course, above all
accountable for the well-being of his or her patient but,
with recent pressure from state legislators and higher
education coordinating agencies, accountability is
becoming a greater and greater emphasis of all aspects of
nursing. In the case of student nurses, and indeed all
levels of nurses, this accountability is channeled through
a chain of command, a chain of accountability which can
extend both upwards (through the institutional hierarchy),
downwards (to the patient) and even sideways (to
colleagues and other professionals) dependent on the
organizational structure. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

A 6 page paper discussing retail HRM practices in the US
and Germany. Manufacturing and logistics have gained great

follow manufacturing in work trends and growth patterns.

Human Resources Training with an Adult Education
Perspectives
[ send

A 5 page paper discussing the greater need and the greater
recognition of adult education theory in today's approach
to human resources training, with a focus on the global

organization or the entrepreneur of a small company makes
little difference; a requirement of the "new
economy" is that participants in it learn on a
continual basis. Bibliography lists 21 sources.

… (5 pp) One of the first things to remember about the
work seeking process is that it can be difficult.
Difficult is not a bad thing - it is reality. Building a
house would be difficult, but you still would want to do
it because of a goal that you had - a nice place to live
for example. Also a job is different than a career, a job
can lead to a career; and it is possible to have many jobs
before you even decide on a career. This discussion will
give you the information to help you in the work seeking
process. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

A 7 page paper that explores the increase in union
membership in 1997 because of advantages (general and

reverse of the decline in union membership experienced
over the past 15 years. Today, unions are helping workers

business. Indeed, these two critical elements of commerce
must play off of each other as a means by which to
establish and maintain the company's very foundation; if

that they are too old! And as my Grandfather used to
chuckle in German, "We are too soon old, and too late
smart." The United States work force is starting an
interesting period of time : four defined generations of
workers are all competing for the same space. All four
have qualities that employers are looking for, all four
have liabilities which can be compensated by one or more
of the other groups. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Applicability
of Magnet Hospitals to the Canadian Health Care System
[ send
me this paper ]
A 16 page paper primarily discussing the qualities of
magnet hospitals and the process of achieving
certification. Any quest to decrease costs while
simultaneously increasing quality is a worthwhile pursuit
in today's environment, but the many manufacturers failing
in their attempts to implement TQM in the past can attest
to the fact that there are pitfalls in the process. Magnet
certification is tried, proven and documented, and has
been shown to benefit nurse recruitment and retention
efforts. Though the fiscal structure of health care in the
US and Canada are very different, the goals of each are
the same. Magnet certification can be applied to Canadian
health care with only minimal alteration. Bibliography

paper proposes that monthly Friday afternoons provide the
setting for employee-led glimpses into national and ethnic
cultures in the forms of food, dance, games, stories and
particularly music. Such an approach can promote
camaraderie, inject fun and build the organization's
reputation as an employer of choice. Bibliography lists 8

Retirement:
Adjustment Difficulty
[ send

requirement and a specific task to oversee. Retirement
removes all that routine and responsibility in one fell
swoop, rendering the individual without meaningful
purpose. The writer discusses why retirement is sometimes
a difficult transition, as well as what one might do to
help ease the process. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

An 11 page discussion of the impacts of globalization on
labor unions. Notes that as other countries advance
technologically, there is a corresponding shift in union
employment to further complicate the impacts to labor
unions a variety of laws such as the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) supports multinational
corporations with the elimination of excessive and taxes
on exports. Consequently, U.S. unions are in danger of
collapse as more and more businesses move to low income
countries to take advantage of cheap labor. At the same
time many of the workers in the third world countries to
which big business is moving find themselves at the mercy
of inadequate wages and working conditions. There are no
unions to represent these people. Global unionization, the
merger of unions across national borders, is the only
solution to the impacts of globalization on the workplace.
