EOC WEEK : Personal Freedom vs Union Membership
-What would you do if you wanted to work for a company and you had to join the union to get the job? Well, I would fight to get the job because there is a law saying i do not have to, it is the Wagner act.
-What if they called a strike over an issue you did not agree with? I would not strike with them simple.
-What other issues might concern you if you had to belong to get a paycheck? I would call a lawyer because of the Wagner act or get fired or quit.

BOC WEEK 9: History of labor unoins in the United States
http://www.kentlaw.edu/ilhs/curricul.htm#6
The civil war led to the formation 12 national unions. Labor was in high demand, the workers had a large amount of power. The eight hour movement begins and trade unionism spreads to skilled factory workers in the 1800s. “1852
The Typographical Union founded which is the first national workers organization to endure to the present day.” “First state law limiting women's working day to ten hours passed in Ohio.” In 1852 In 1863 Abraham, Lincoln supported strikes and gave his famous Emancipation Proclamation speech. Many of the first unions were formed during this time. The first labor law”1868
First federal 8 hour day passed, only applies to laborers, mechanics, and workmen employed by the government.” Many new laws and strikes happened and police beat many people as well. The state militia’s were with many stikers but federal troops came to stop the strikes as well. Many of the first unions formed are gone due to the depression. There were many strikes by sit down or just not working and some strikers even killed people and the government killed stikers as well. Now we have high priced laywers and labor laws about anything and everything you can name to protect anybody from harsh working conditions and some to help like the law for pregnant women to have 6 months to take care of the newborn and other helpful laws.
“1914
Clayton Act passed which limits the use of injunctions in labor disputes.
Ludlow Massacre in Colorado. Wives and children of striking miners are set aflame when National Guardsmen attack their tent colony during a strike against the Colora do Fuel and Iron Company.
President appoints the Colorado Coal Commission to investigate the Ludlow Massacre and labor conditions in the mines following an unsuccessful strike by the United Mine Workers.”
“1947
Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act which restricts union activities and permits the states to pass "right-to-work" laws.
Th e Norris-La Guardia Act prohibition against injunctions in labor disputes was held to be inapplicable to the Government in U.S. v. John L. Lewis.
1963
The Equal Pay Act prohibited wage differences for workers based on sex.
1922
The United Mine Workers was held not reponsible for local str ike action, and strike action was held not a conspiracy to restrain trade within the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. (Coronado Coal Co. v. UMMA)
In southern Illinois, coal strikers kill twenty guards and strikebreakers in the "Herrin Massacre".”

Week 8 EOC: sexual harassment
I think that sexual harassment is wrong because of what it can do to a person in many ways. It is unwanted, unfair, illegal, and should not be accepted anywhere in the workplace. It is hard to think about work and do it well when you are worrying about someone harassing you. It disrupts the feeling of cooperation and might halt everybody’s work if it gets bad enough. The movie Apartment showed two people getting sexually harassed and it is wrong.
"sexual harassment occurs, "when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.""

week 7 EOC: How to evaluate someone in 15 easy steps
Hardly anything, because I did not understand the assignment. No, I was not surprised. I was decently prepared by looking at the chapter, and listening to the teacher. Nina, and Kelsey gave very quick answers and did not hesitate. I was fine with the interview and gave my answers. Nina felt she was a good student. Kelsey felt she was a good student. They both (Nina and Kelsey) would be good at what ever their degree is and probably excel. Yes I would want them to represent the school. This experience could have been better by not being fictitious and barely understandable. A real person and a better explanation of what this is all for since I will probably be doing little to none of this in my career.

Week6 EOC Steps in job instruction training
This movie did not follow the steps of Job Instruction Training. I do not understand this assignment. The fictitious company clearly did not follow these steps and I do not know what to say. The company did not put the new chick “ at ease “ and did not “arouse” her or give her “interest in training”. The company did not follow step 2 either or 3 or 4 and they was no consideration. I have no idea what this assignment teaches me.
Week 6 BOC stolen valor lawsuit
The company went wrong in the fact that they did not have any background check of any kind to find out if the person they hired was a Vet. The company can ask for pay stubs from the military, IDs, DD214, Proof of Veteran benefits. The Company did a bad thing because even preferring Vets they are discriminating towards 90% of America. The person who did not get the job still has the right to be employed with out having to worry about being like most of America. The Person could have sued, should have been able to show proof in the interview, and the interviewer did the wrong thing by not asking simple background questions without asking rude or racist questions. Anyone who lies about this should go to jail for at least four years because of the rarity of Americans who actually do serve and die for this country. I see this as a weakness of our country. Israel citizens have Mandatory military service and some countries have 7 year olds in military service, Wow.
