 laws you should know
 

1.LABOR Chapter 448
GENERAL LABOR REGULATIONS View Entire Chapter

448.045 Wrongful combinations against workers.--If two or more persons shall agree, conspire, combine or confederate together for the purpose of preventing any person from procuring work in any firm or corporation, or to cause the discharge of any person from work in such firm or corporation; or if any person shall verbally or by written or printed communication, threaten any injury to life, property or business of any person for the purpose of procuring the discharge of any worker in any firm or corporation, or to prevent any person from procuring work in such firm or corporation, such persons so combining shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

At Will Employment Definition
At will employment is also called employment at will and hired at will. All mean that employment is presumed to be voluntary and indefinite for both employees and employers, under the Doctrine of Employment at Will.


Grammatically speaking, the term at will should be hyphenated, as in at-will employment. However, because not everybody knows that, we omit the hyphen to make it easier for visitors to find this article in a Web search.

In other words, at will employment means that employees may generally quit their jobs at any time, for any, no or even unfair reasons.

By the same token, employers may generally fire or layoff employees at any time, for any, no or even unfair reasons. (That's the inference of the saying, "I serve at the pleasure of the board of directors.") Exceptions are noted on the next page.

At will employment also means that employers may decline to hire job candidates for any, no or even unfair reasons, except for those noted on the next page.

All states enforce at will employment to some degree. To ensure employees know and acknowledge that their employment is at will and to help avoid employee lawsuits, employers may legitimately ask employees to sign contracts or agreements that document and enforce the terms of at will employment.

Alternately or additionally, employers may document the terms of at will employment in policy manuals or similar documents, and then ask employees to sign contracts or agreements acknowledging that they've received, read, understand and will adhere to the terms. Many states consider policy manuals and similar documents to be enforceable, implied contracts for both employers and employees.

Employers and employees may legitimately waive certain at will employment rights through contracts and agreements. For example, union-employer collective bargaining agreements might stipulate the terms and conditions under which employers may and may not discharge union employees.

 The truth about using hands-free devices behind the wheel
 

Many states (including California, New York, Washington, the District of Columbia, and Connecticut) have imposed laws requiring drivers to use hands-free devices to make phone calls. New Jersey even made violation of its law a first offense. But several studies over the years have found that talking on a hands-free device is not much safer than talking on a hand-held device.

A study by the American Psychological Association of over 500 drivers found that talking on a cell phone cut activity in areas of the brain used for driving by half. Drivers focusing on a phone conversation had slower reaction times, were less likely to recall objects on the road, and had a hard time noticing traffic around them. Researchers also noted that hands-free devices in the car posed the same hazards as hand-held devices.

A different study by the University of Utah tested drivers' use of hands-free cell phones on the road, and found (to no one's surprise) that chatty drivers were the main cause of traffic problems. Apparently, drivers talking on a cell phone were less likely to change lanes, and spent more time following slow-moving vehicles.

The latest research by Carnegie Mellon University questions hands-free laws, and whether their existence only gives drivers a false sense of safety. To test this theory, neuroscientist Marcel Just studied 29 volunteers who used a driving simulator inside an MRI brain scanner. The volunteers were tasked with driving a car along a virtual winding road, with and without distractions.

Researchers found that drivers would hit the guardrail and veer out of the center of the lane more often when they tried to answer true or false questions. Brain scans of the distracted drivers showed brain activity decreased in areas that process visual and spatial information, functions that are crucial for navigation. Once again, this proved that participating in a conversation is all it took to reduce a driver's focus on the road.

As reported in This is London, Just concluded:

Drivers need to keep not only their hands on the wheel, they also have to keep their brains on the road. Drivers' seats in many vehicles are becoming highly instrumented cockpits and during difficult driving situations they require the undivided attention of the driver's brain.

The clear implication is that engaging in a demanding conversation could jeopardise judgment and reaction time.
So while there may be laws out there that ban the use of hand-held phones behind the wheel, the truth is the road will remain a dangerous place as long as drivers continue to carry phone conversations on hands-free devices - so be careful out there.

 AT&T and the employee- the message i sent.
 

Hello everyone,


TWO new blogs will be posted a youtube video re-enactment of certain situations from my previous tenure at AT&T and a written blog. I have the actors ready and they will be playing characters of real employees no one will be left out. For the sake of some privacy I will make this a comedy. My door is open to auditions anyone who is not camera shy please feel free to leave a request info on my blog www.blogstream.com user name quest1. The video will post on youtube, blogstream, and myspace Date to be determined. The second blog will be touching base on topics important to both customers and employees. Topics such as work friends, contracts, accessory prices, provisional credits, and what the customers have been asking me ever since I started the blog contract loopholes.
I wish everyone the best; I forgive all who have produce false testimony against me and love all. The Union has been great to me throughout this whole ordeal I took the time out to listen to the Union and found out us the employees are the union. It is our voice when we speak and speaks for us in all the situations we feel need to be changed. I am 100% union because the union is 100% me the employee. For those who are concerned I am doing gigs as a DJ for private parties, clubs, and Barmitzvas. Check myspace listings for times and dates. I would one day like to give you all a formal goodbye but I feel as if the powers that be have persuaded you not to get in contact with me. Hey there is no law that prohibits you from having your life and friends By Union standards you cannot get fired for having a life outside of work you are off the clock.
Oh well if you feel as if I am bad for you then by all means limit your stress. I still consider all of you my work acquaintances and will do my best to help you out with what ever is in my power. I thank all those who supported me and VP Rich for being an Okay VP, To Pres. Steve I say thanks for listening, Mike you play a very good game of chess, Dj it was fun while it lasted, and Mr. T you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. People games are being played it’s good to have people represent you United we stand divided you fall. Think about it there is a metaphor in the last statement.
