Race discrimination and retaliation represented 72 percent of all workplace discrimination charges filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Users of temp services need to be aware of their co-employment responsibilities in these matters. For example, retaliation can become an issue if you end a temps assignment for complaining about harassment by a permanent employee.
Check out the EEOC’s FAQ page for more details on discrimination. Warning About Warn...
WARN is the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act that was passed some time ago to require certain employers to give employees advanced written notice of mass layoffs and plant closings. It applies to employers with more than 100 employees.
In its infinite wisdom a bunch of Ohio legislators think we would be better off with our own law that applies to employers with 50 employees of more.
This is another fine example of what we do best in this state. We like to put a significantly greater burden on Ohio employers than other states just to make it a bit harder to get them to come to our state. Makes perfect sense, right?
We Have All Gotten Along Before...
Having lived in the Mahoning Valley for the past 33 years and Northeast Ohio for 50 or so you get use to the Democrats taking credit for every great social program that has come down the pike in the past 75 years. And the Republicans are always painted as the party that wanted to send Grandma and Grandpa off to the poor house in their old age.
You might be surprised to learn that in 1935 the Social Security Bill passed in the House by a vote of 372 to 33 and in the Senate by a 77-6 margin. Pretty amazing especially when you compare it to what’s going on today over Health Care.
Ready To Rock N’ Roll
This month’s grand prize winner of two tickets to the Moon Dog Carnation Ball at the “Q” on March 27, 2010 is Marge Melinger, HR Director at Delta in Streetsboro. DVD’s from the four groups performing were won by Jim Puskas of CFI Installation, Joyce Keslar of A Plus Powder Coaters, Chuck Leguillon of Ohio Brass and Robyn Hoffman-Janes of Thermo Manufacturing.
Not surprising the Beatles by far were the group of choice for us children of the 60’s. The most unusual pick was Napoleon XIV. . . anyone remember their hit “They’re coming to take me away”?
