Employment and Employee Rights (Fundamentals of Business Ethics)

Book Description

Of interest to anyone who wishes to understand more about employee rights and the revolutionizing of employment models, Employment and Employee Rights addresses the issue of rights in the workplace from the perspective of both employees and employers.In the process of exploring arguments for guaranteeing rights, the book examines the relational, developmental, and economic bases upon which they are founded. New dimensions of employment are also considered, including a model that incorporates growing workplace diversity, builds upon our understanding of the legal landscape, and expands upon our justifications for recognizing and protecting rights.Employment and Employee Rights defends employee rights as economic value added for employers and companies, and it suggests a model where employees engage in meaningful work, maintain their autonomy, and exercise a level of control over their employment.

Book Description

In the last twenty years there has been an explosion of economic research on labor force dynamics; the movement of individuals between labor force states. This book focuses on the methods by which behavioral theories of labor force dynamics have been empirically implemented. Most attention is paid to the partial equilibrium two-state transitional model of job search behavior. That model is the foundation for much of our thinking about the nature of unemployment at both the individual and aggregate levels. Although the basic formulation has remained the same, approaches to the empirical implementation of such models has changed dramatically.

Book Description

Labour standards have long been upheld by the ILO as an essential pillar of development and peace at the national and international levels. Respect for fundamental rights at work is at the core of the ILO's decent work strategy. This important new book offers valuable insight on the content and application of the ILO's fundamental international labour standards and related standards.

These fundamental standards—on freedom of association, collective bargaining, the abolition of forced and compulsory labour, equality of opportunity and treatment, and the protection of children and young people—form the basis of the ILO's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up, 1998.

Book Description

This volume examines how individual earnings change over time and the degree of earnings mobility. The literature on earnings mobility, both theoretical and empirical, is reviewed, and an analytical framework is provided to put different studies into perspective. The range of empirical evidence from US, UK, France, Canada, Germany and other countries is described, and the main conclusions summarised, ending with the scope for future research.

Book Description

This book contains a collection of Michael D. Bordo's essays written singly and with colleagues on the classical gold standard and related regimes based directly or indirectly on gold convertibility. The gold standard (and its variants) was the basis for both international and domestic monetary arrangements from the third quarter of the nineteenth century until 1971 when President Nixon closed the US gold window, effectively ending the Bretton Woods International Monetary System. Although the gold standard and its variants are now history, it still has great appeal for policymakers and scholars.

Customer Reviews:

Much old stuff, but a nice overview.......2001-10-25

This is a collection of Bordo's scholarly work on the Gold Standard. It's mostly academic in style and contains quite a lot which will be beyond the generalist reader. Also, there is little here that will be new for those who know the topic well.

What I did like was the introductary chapters which describe how the system worked at different times and also how differently its workings were percived amongst central figures at the time. I found this very useful since most texts would have you believe that the system was a smooth functioning and uniform entity. It obviously wasn't. Thank you MB for this valuable insight.

Good source for small businesses!.......1999-06-20

We found this workbook to be very helpful in designing our readiness plan for Y2K. The authors used a methodical approach for understanding the problem. The Y2K glossary was very helpful in communicating our goals to external consultants.

I would rate this book 2nd only to: "How To Financially Protect Your Business From Y2K Business Interruption-The Essential Workbook" by Ken Lagasse.

On Our Way to Readiness!!.......1999-04-30

Our organization used the Act Y2K Small Business Workbook to develop a plan to cope with Y2K. First, the workbook helped us develop an internal Y2K team. Second, the workbook help us develop a comunication strategy with our critical groups. Third, the inventory list opened our eyes to the possible systems that could be disrupted. Fourth, the workbook gave us valuable repair and replace strategies. Next, the authors included implementation and contingency information to further reduce risks. We thought these guys did a decent job and we liked the process! We nominate this to be The National Y2K Small Business Workbook.

Good guide for small business!.......1999-04-21

The Act Y2K Small Business Workbook helped our organization implement a plan of action for Y2K. The authors used a systematic plan that guided us through critical steps to achieve compliance. We have used the sample letters to contact our vendors to let them know we are taking the year 2000 computer problem very seriously. We hope other small businesses are doing the same!

don't waste your companies money.......1999-04-13

I should have saved the hefty book price and spent a little time on some of the internet sites for small business Y2K preparation. It appears that's how much time these authors devoted to preparing this "book."

Customer Reviews:

The author was convicted for giving out this advice..........2005-02-03

Don't waste your money.

The author is a sham artist. He was convicted, and in a plea bargain handed over his entire client list to the US Governtment. None of the advice in this book is legal or legitimate.

Author Is Going to Prison.......2004-11-30

Anyone who believes this BS is either really stupid or really naive. The author has been charged with defrauding the federal government, has agreed to a plea bargain, and will enter the U.S. District Court in San Francisco next month to plead guilty. As part of the plea bargain Mr. Schneider has turned over his client list to the IRS, complete with addresses, phone numbers and other information. Some tax advice: When something sounds too good to be true - it always is.

Tried it, book doesn't work........2004-05-04

I followed the book's instructions to the letter and tried to open a current account at three Singapore banks recommended in the book. Only one replied, saying I could only open an account denominated in US dollars or Singapore dollars, and not any other currency, contrary to what the book says. In addition, this bank wanted somebody already known to them to introduce me to them before they'd deal with me. This book is a waste of time and money. I'm now doing internet research to get the informmation I need to do what I want to do. It takes a lot more time, but I feel confident of success.

we have a winner for "Worst Investing Book"!.......2004-05-04

this book is the equivalent of the saturday morning "get rich quick" scheisters you see on TV (and incidentally, the author, naturally, pitches his wares at the end).

the advice in the book goes beyond being bad...its irresponsible, misleading, and negligent.

here's one of the author's brainfarts (paraphrased):
"open an off shore reinsurance company, and then with your domestic company, purchase insurance from your off shore company--that way the premiums are both tax-deductible and a source of profit at the same time!" ---and how exactly would this help you in event of a claim?

or better still (and i quote):
" (US) banks are in bad shape--worse shape, in fact (though none are provided---a common refrain in this book, claims w/o data!), than most foreign banks. Of course, your money is insured up to $100k by the FDIC, but what would happen in the event of a universal banking crisis? Federal agencies could never handle the massive run on banks that would ensue..." ---oh, so this is to imply that a small private off-shore bank is going to serve as the new financial risk-free rate determinant (setting all financial markets back 100+ yrs), and this small off-shore bank is going to be far safer than the US Govt (FDIC)?

this book is an insult to anyone w/ a critical mind. its beyond terrible. its a great way to lose money, whether you invest as he advocates, or simply throwing away your $30 to buy it.

A collection of bedtime stories.......2003-12-31

This book is poorly structured. The author reiterates the same concept of going offshore over and over again. He does not reveal any detail on how to do it. Instead, he gives you a great number of short stories that he had heard from someone else. This was one of the worst books I had ever read! Stay away!

Why Go Offshore?.......1999-10-16

Many Americans wonder why anyone would want to take their money offshore. Some might reason that with news of the Dow rising to record levels, inflation being tamed, the unemployment rate standing at its lowest level in six years and the federal deficit being down sharply, that there is no real reason to go offshore. In spite of all the national good news, there are many legitimate reasons for moving money offshore. In a nutshell, all these reasons are based on the fact that offshore rules are different from domestic ones.

Since the French Revolution, the wealthy have moved money offshore to safeguard their assets, to make a decent return, and to avoid paying taxes on their gains. There are currently some 218 jurisdictions that offer these and other special incentives to foreign investors, and many are among the best places on Earth to vacation. For example, the Caymans, three lush islands 475 miles from Miami, do not levy taxes on personal or corporate income, capital gains or your overall wealth. On top of that, the islands' financial-privacy laws can protect your assets from creditors and people who might sue you. It is indeed no wonder why the main street of this tropical paradise is lined with branches of banks from New York City, Amsterdam and Geneva.

The US government frowns on you relocating your money offshore. If everyone could invest abroad and in secrecy and never pay a dime in taxes the federal government would go broke even faster than it already is doing. It is in no way illegal to take your money offshore, even though the government has done its part to try to persuade you to not do so. Although several reporting requirements have been instituted by the government for those who do go offshore, several excellent strategies have been developed to minimize or eliminate them, and for that matter to also minimize any tax effects that such a move might entail.

Furthermore, US citizens are generally required to report income from offshore investments and to pay taxes on this income. Once again, numerous strategies have been developed to eliminate these reporting requirements so that the government will not tax your earnings at a higher rate than if your money had never left home. It is important to understand that this excessive taxation is the government's way to discourage citizens from moving funds offshore because when you move your money offshore, the government loses control.

Some strategies include elements such as chartering your own foreign bank, insurance company, corporation, or establishing a foundation or trust. An offshore corporation, bank, or insurance company is as much a legal entity as you are.

Question marks over Goldstein recommendations.......1998-12-13

In this book, Goldstein recommends three financial services providers with checkered histories.

1. Global Assets Advisors, owned by International Assets Holding Corp. which, on Jan. 16, 1998, lost a National Association of Securities Dealers arbitration and was ordered to pay $99,845 to a client and $100,000 in legal fees; in 1997 the company had to pay out $146,000 to settle client disputes and there are additional arbitration and litigation matters pending relating to client disputes

2. Goldstein recommends Security Traders International, which was struck off the companies registers in both Florida and the Bahamas in 1997. He also recommends a web-site that heavily promotes his own work

3. He recommends Bermuda-based Lines Overseas Management and, in particular, LOM salesman Scott Oliver, who was caught out in 1998 lying to clients about his qualifications and about the secrecy offered by LOM accounts.

Clearly, the above seriously calls into question Goldstein's judgment and possibility his impartiality.

Posted by David Marchant, Publisher of Offshore Alert

Waste of time and money.......1998-08-12

This book provides the reader with no information on offshore accounts. Neither does it give any information in regards to privacy, structuring etc... It is merely an attempt by the author to advertise his own scam. I would highly recommend and urge at the same time that you do not waste your time or money on this useless garbage. What a waste of valuable paper.

A self-serving advertisement........1998-07-14

This "book" is nothing but an uninformative sales pitch to sell the Author's law firm investment vehicle, using scare tactics, and without revealing any noteworthy details. Spend your money on something else.

The Rise and Decline of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company

Book Description

In 1859, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, known everywhere as A&P, began as a mail-order business located at 31 Vesey Street in downtown Manhattan. In 1925, A&P operated more than thirteen thousand grocery stores nationwide, with more than forty thousand employees. By 1950, approximately ten cents out of every dollar spent on food in the United States passed over A&P counters. ÝÝA&P: The Story of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company tells the story of how cofounder George Huntington Hartford and his sons John and George brought A&P to popularity with consumers that few companies have ever achieved. This stunning collection of vintage photographs shows such nostalgic scenes as the elegant early stores, their gleaming window displays, and the red horse-drawn delivery wagons with the A&P logo emblazoned on their sides. Shoppers choose from rows of colorful merchandise and fresh produce; uniformed storekeepers make change from ornate registers; and the founderís son tastes A&Pís Eight OíClock coffee. A&P is still an industry leader, and A&P: The Story of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company shows why, from the Hartford familyís legacy to the generations of shoppers who depend on A&P for fair prices and quality food. This is the history of the supermarket where America grew up shopping. ÝÝ

The Great A&P Tea Company, A Company that Continues to Feed America.......2006-09-06

What is so astonishing about this book is that this company was such a revolutionary force in feeding America and keeping America healthy and prosperous through two of its most challenging times in modern history, the Great Depression and World War II. The book is an adventure in the history of this great company which still thrives today. Ms Anderson in photos and text unveils the company that was and still is, the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, a caring company.

Reading this book gives a warm and tingly feeling that a supermarket operator can provide the best possible fresh food at value pricing, helping the farmer get top dollar during depressed economic times, eliminating the middleman, and bring low prices to the far corners of the U.S.

From its birth in 1859 to today, A&P, while still operating ;in 9 states and the District of Columbia,from Louisiana to Connecticut, has its roots firmly embedded in innovation and quality. So many of us have enjoyed Eight O'clock coffee with our A&P Spanish Bar cake. So many of us have eaten fine A&P products as a child or had our Mother serve us Sunnyfield cereals, fresh Sunnybrook butter on Jane Parker toasted bread, spread with Ann Page fine jellies and presereves.

With over 4,000 supermarkets spanning America, it forever changed the landscape of America in a positive way. The Colonial stores of the 1960's have been recycled into some of the best looking post offices and service businesses today.
This book recounts that and many more episodes from a fine company that lives on today with fresh thinking.

Best History of a Retailer.......2002-12-12

This pictorial history of A&P gives a bird's eye view of how a little family company became one of the top retailers in America. I found this book to be both enjoyable to read and to view. The pictures used are visually appealling and the accompanying text explains what you are seeing succintly. Avis has done an excellent job in relaying the history of this company through both pictures and text. I strongly recommend this book not only to employees of this company, but to anyone who has ever shopped in a grocery store.
