Ramos, principal and CEO of Speak Hispanic Communications and vice-chair of communications and PR for Latinos in Social Media, poses this question: “Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S. workforce and their employment experiences are as varied as their individual histories.

They won’t admit it, but it is because they can—and do—pay them less. That’s why they are pushing so hard for a series of amendments from Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) that would remove provisions in the immigration bill under consideration that give qualified U.S. workers the first shot at those high-tech jobs. Not only do they want to shut the door on U.S. workers, they want to be allowed to import even more low-wage/high-tech workers under what is known as the H1B visa program. The Hatch amendment…http://www.twitpic.com/crv0b7

Correction officials say they'll rely more on counseling and therapy instead of solitary confinement. They say solitary confinement often makes mentally ill prisoners act worse. This is welcome news for advocacy groups fighting for inmate rights. Authorities say they want to ensure everyone's needs are met. “It will be in a secure setting,” said New York City Correction Commissioner Dora Schriro. “But the purpose is to give them the services and support that they need so as to be more successful while they're in…http://www.twitpic.com/cqf1nl

According to the bill's sponsors, the “Working Families Flexibility Act,” or H.R. 1406, would give employees the “freedom” to determine work schedules and time off. In reality, this bill would provide more work and less pay…http://www.twitpic.com/cph7lm

The Syrian foreign ministry also said in a letter sent to the United Nations and the UN Security Council that the “Israeli aggression” killed and wounded several people and “caused widespread destruction”. Syria's government refers to rebels trying to topple president Bashar Assad's regime as “terrorists”.

Pittsburgh Plate Glass to give employers complete control of retiree benefits undercuts the purpose of the National Labor Relations Act and leaves vulnerable, retired employees powerless to protect themselves from costly changes in benefits. Congress enacted the National Labor Relations Act to balance the power of employers – who could operate as corporations or partnerships – by giving employees the right to band together and deal with their employer as a group.

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Thank you baby Jesus. This country was built by immigrants – past and present. A person who wants to live here in America and pay their dues isn't coming here because they want to live off of America's awesome welfare state <sarcasm>. They came here because they wanted a better life. Stop the Xenophobia. Simple solution – give them a background check and a health test and if they pass …. let them in.

That’s why we have Employment Insurance—to give us some peace of mind on the road to finding new work. EI is an insurance plan that we Canadians pay into our entire working lives. But Ottawa keeps finding new ways to reject your EI claim. In fact, six in 10 Canadians can no longer qualify for benefits. And now Stephen Harper says he’ll cancel your benefits unless you take any job he deems “suitable.” Even if it takes you off the career path you’ve invested in. And even if it comes with a 30% pay cut and an hour-long commute. He’s even setting quotas…http://www.twitpic.com/cd0xwe
