Job loss is mounting and wages are dropping around the country. As the U.S. is losing high paying jobs, nations like China can’t find enough workers. Their wages are increasing due to a shortage of labor and the country is pushing out manufactured items as though the whole nation was an assembly line. As American families struggle to put food on their plate some can’t help but wonder whether not they have been ditched by corporate America.One of the problems companies within this country have faced was a high dollar and high cost of labor. Since these costs were so high and since employees were earning high wages and were “sue happy” it was much cheaper to build plants overseas then to keep them here in the U.S. As companies sought higher profits and spanned the great earth America

This story brings so many thoughts to mind, I'm not really sure where to begin. First off, a short summary for those of you that haven't heard about this yet:A construction worker's bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled Sunday when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot.Second of all, a few observations. If you're going to do something like this - keep it quiet until the construction is done and it's past the point of no return. Next - we need to sent this story to Homeland Security and have them learn from this: On Saturday, construction workers who remembered the employee, Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips about the shirt's location.

There are workers and there are worker entrepreneurs. The worker entrepreneur is the type of man or woman who views employment as only one type of income and may engage in other types of work or business ventures. They desire to run their lives in much the same way as a person would run a business. In this pursuit the person might engage in two or three different money making sources such as working full time, taking on a part-time job and starting a business. A New Way of Thinking The worker entrepreneur isn’t the type of person who doesn’t see him or her self as subject to the top down relationship with the companies they work for. They are businessmen who are paid to complete some function within the organization. This new found confidence lessens their fear and allows them to

Hartford, Conn. (ThaLunatic Daily) -- Garret A. Dalton, a 41 year old state corrections officer has been charged with worker's compensation fraud after he pocketed thousands of dollars in disability claims while running a race to win free Hannah Montana tickets.According to prosecutors, Dalton entered a contest to win Hannah Montana concert tickets in a radio station contest. The contest required Dalton to dress up in women's clothing and high heels while sprinting 40 yards, balancing an egg on a spoon.According to investigators, Dalton participated while claiming he was too injured to work, pocketing more than $5,000 in worker's compensation claims. Prosecutors say that he misrepresented facts about his medical condition and ability to work.Authorities were alerted to Dalton's scam w

First - don't panicSecond - only make eye contact...no matter whatI go to a gym near my office, where I'm fortunate enough to have a corporate discount. So from time-to-time, I go into the gym after work and without paying attention, walk into a row of lockers and I'm greeted with the sight of a woman I work with who is buck naked getting ready to work out.Now it would be rude to gasp and walk away so if I've committed to the row of lockers with my naked co-worker, I tend to offer a smile (so it's not awkward) and do not engage in conversation. Sometimes, if I know the person well, we'll engage in small talk while keeping our backs to one another (like in gym class), otherwise we do not acknowledge each other at all and play dumb.Of course it's a little odd the next day, when I run into th

I'm new to the full time work force so I never really thought about worker's compensation... until yesterday when I had to go to the emergency room. At work I'm building a model for a project we are trying to get funding for.

I know! Somehow the common sense turned off for a second and next thing I know I'm bleeding everywhere.Getting cut at work is no huge surprise. It happens all the time. What surprised me was the depth that I could see into my hand when I went to wash it out. I knew I needed stitches. I put pressure on it, called HR, and went to the hospital.The whole time I was more wo

A Polish worker has come up with an unusual excuse after being caught in the act with a vacuum cleaner.The building contractor claimed he was cleaning his underpants with Henry Hoover when he was found naked and on his knees in a hospital's staff canteen. A stunned security guard stumbled onto the man in the middle of a compromising act with the cleaner, which has a large smiley face painted on its front and a hose protruding from its "nose".The contractor was supposed to be locking up the building site near the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital where his firm is refurbishing administration offices. The security guard, suitably horrified, told the man to "clean himself and the hoover" before asking him to leave and informing his bosses. When later questioned by his employers, the m

The most important difference between Worker's compensation and personal injury law is that worker's compensation is a personal injury that occurs at the individuals workplace or in the scope of their employment and a worker's compensation claim must be brought to the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) and therefore is subject to the DIA's rules and regulations regarding a worker's compensation claim. However, a personal injury matter can be filed in district or superior based upon the amount of damages sought by the individual. In the case of personal injury it is considered to be a negligent act. Under Massachusetts Tort Law Section 1.1a (personal injury) it states that a negligent defendant is liable to the plaintiff for reasonable pain and suffering caused by the defendant's neg

Following on from yesterday, in the next three days we will be presenting the transcript evidence of Ms Salem, the only independent witness in the case of Child M. This evidence was ignored in total by the panel in favour of the mother of Child M. I of course don't believe the mother of Child M. I do though believe Ms Salem. She has nothing to gain within these proceedings unlike the mother of Child M. The GMC decision in Southall is a destruction to the important subject of Child Protection. This basically means that potential child abusers who are suspected by the social services can go to the General Medical Council and will be believed without question. Instead of believing the independent witness ie the social worker or anyone else present in a consultation, they will believe the potential child abuser. Which doctor in their right mind would now work in child protection with this hanging over their heads? Of course, the narrow minded will cheer at the result in terms of David Sou

FRIDAY is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday! Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't give a damn about? Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty, you can look in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SO obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it?Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce Friday as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY! There are the rules you must follow:You can only slap one person per hour - no more. You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day. You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns slapping the irritant. No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with a stapler or a hole-puncher.

SuperMom Action Figure courtesy of Happy Worker (buy me one please!)Recently I attended an audio brainwashing, I mean training, session for managers at my work and learned this fact:29% of Employees are Loyal and Productive55% of Employees are Not Engaged16% of Employees are Actively Disengaged (troublemakers)Right now, I fall squarely in the majority. That doesn't mean that I am not loyal and productive, but I simply don't live for my company and my job. At various points in my career I have been all three types, and probably in those percentages time-wise as well. I distinctly remember staying up all hours trying to finish a software project or helping manufacturing get instruments out the door. I also remember feeling completely demoralized when my company had to restate its earnings so I spend long hours playing cards instead of working. But for the most part, I am a decent worker who gets things done quickly and efficiently, so I build in some coast time for myself. What k

We all know that the workplace can be very dangerous when working with heavy machinery, and we are sad to say that a worker has died at the Ford’s Wayne assembly plant. The accident took place on the final assemble line where the Focus is built. There is no information as to what caused the accident, but The Detroit News reported that the Ford Wayne Stamping and Assembly Plant were immediately shut down. The death is such sad news for friends and family of the worker, and the fact that the plant was celebrating the first run of 2008 Ford Focus this week.

This is merely the most recent of a string of similar incidents, including last year’s most visible episode in Jena, Louisiana. Last week, a noose was found hanging in a police station in Hempstead, New York after the department posted a notice of their intention to participate “in a count-ywide effort to recruit minorities and women as police officers.”Such incidents are intolerable and abhorrent to the overwhelming majority of Americans. There’s no question about that. We know that, you know that, and the perpetrators of these acts surely know that. Then why do it? Those who wish to intimidate

We wonder the earth, gradually getting used to travel all the time, often in harsh places, and very often in search of a thrill. Gradually we get addicted to it all.But is there life after this.. after this life of a gypsy?
