What's Appropriate to Ask Job Candidates? 2006-10-23 02:25:00 At my 10/6/06 3 hour employment law seminar for the Chicago Business Minority Development Council and Chicago Minority Business Opportunity Center's Corporate Bridges event, I provided participants with a 14 page handout which summarizes 55 federal, state (Illinois) and local (Chicago and Cook County) labor and employment laws. Additionally, my handout contains information concerning the probability of encountering an employment related agency complaint or lawsuit, the possible cost of such a complaint or lawsuit, what to ask and not to ask during a job interview, or on a job application, and a few other items. The following is page 4 of my handout. What's Appropriate to Ask Job Candidates

Chuck Krugel TV Interview 2006-09-03 19:59:00 I'm very excited to announce that on Friday, 9/1/06, I shot my very 1st TV interview. It will air in early October. The interview is for 30 minutes (3-ten minute segments), and is for Comcast's local access program--The Employment Hour (channel 19 I believe for most Chicagoland areas). The subject of the interview is labor & employment law. Podcast and Internet versions will soon be uploaded to http://employmenthour.com/index.htm, and I hope to have the video on my blog and uploaded to either Google Video or You Tube.

Update on Illinois' Employer Meeting and Communication Act 2006-06-15 05:13:00 My March 25, 2006, post concerned pending legislation in Illinois
: Senate Bill 2446: The Employer
Meeting and Communication Act (Act). This Act is sponsored by state Senator Gary Forby, a Democrat from south-central Illinois and Chairperson of the Senate's Labor Committee. In essence, the Act severely restricts an employer's ability to communicate with employees in the workplace and awards heavy penalties for convictions. Also, the Act is more restrictive than the federal National Labor Relations Act. I e-mailed Senator Forby my article and requested his reasons for sponsoring the Act and solicited feedback regarding my post, which is very critical of this bill. Well, I never heard from Senator Forby, and as of June 4, 2006, the Act was re-referred to the Senate's Rules Committee. As the Rules Committee is composed of 3 Democrats and 2 Republicans, it's difficult to say whether it will die or survive the Committee. However, as this law is bad for business, and even bad for employe Read more:Update

Flickr Photo Badge: People @ Work 2006-05-05 02:00:00
During the course of creating this website, I've had occasion to post photos in a series titled "People @ Work."
The concept of this photo series is that my photos are the opposite of the generic pictures posted in most business websites and pamphlets. More specifically, instead of photos of models posing and pretending to be working, my photos are of real people, doing real work and they have real a connection to me.
These photos date back to the early 1900s in
Chicago
, and are images of my relatives at their places of work. For example, my earliest photo dates back to circa 1903-09 and is a picture of my great-great grandfather in front of his butcher shop on Maxwell Street on Chicago's near west side. Other photos include my dad and me at work.
Now, through Flickr

Illinois Senate Bill 2446: The Employer Meeting and Communication Act 2006-03-26 00:14:00 Currently awaiting a 3rd reading, the Employer

As it currently reads, the Act prohibits employers, including employer representatives or agents, "from requiring employees to attend an employer-sponsored meeting or participate in communications to communicate the employer's opinion about religious or political matters; [it] also prohibits discharging, disciplining, penalizing, or threatening an employee as a means of requiring an employee to attend such a meeting or participate in such communications or because the employee or a person acting on the employee's behalf makes a good faith report of a violation of the Act" "Political matters includes [sic] political party affiliation or the decision to join or not join any lawful political, social, or

During the entire 2 hour seminar, everyone was hanging onto each word. Actually, I did notice one indivdidual began to drift off a little during the 2nd hour. Hope he caught up on some needed sleep.The 2nd photo is me pointing to something during a break at some February 2006 depositions. It kind of looks like I'm doing something really really important.

For my employment law seminar at Evanston/Northwestern

But, tables don't convert to Blogspot. Consequently, instead of spending hours trying to convert the handout to Blogspot's interface and posting it here, I've decided that if any readers are interested in obtaining either an MS Word or PDF version of the handout, I'll e-mail it to you.
So, if anyone would like a copy of this 6 page handout which summarizes 44 federal and Illinois labor and employment laws, I'd be glad to e-mail it you.

The concept for this photo series is that my photos are the opposite of the generic pictures posted on most business sites. The images of models pretending to be doing something important. My photos are of real people, doing real work and they have real a connection to me.
Here's a photo of my dad, Matthew Krugel, at work at his 1st store, Bel-Mar Drugs, on the south-east corner of Diversey and Laramie in Chicago
's Craigin Park neighborhood; 5200 W. Diversey.
He had just owned this store for a few years when this picture was taken.
The store was there until about 1978 when he moved it kitty-corner into a building about 3-times in size. He was a fixture in the neighborhood for about 35 years.
The two customers with him are his aunt and uncle (my great-aunt and great-uncle) Sam and Sophie Davis from Los Angeles, CA. Uncle Sam was a bohemian or beatnik of sorts who, back in the 40's and 50's, took my dad and his cousins on cross country road trips.

What most businesses fear is being sued for slander, libel or defamation. Generally, a business is legally protected for speaking the truth and providing a good faith assessment of job performance. Nevertheless, it's in the defense of these lawsuits where legal expenses pile up. Therefore, avoidanc Read more:Radio
