Comparison among San Francisco, Las Vegas and New York’s Provisions on Grievance Procedures
A grievance can simply be defined as a concern, complaint or problem related to the working environment. Due to the diversity at the workplace, people have different beliefs, opinions and thoughts about how to approach work and as a result they often have grievances relating to issues that arise from the workplace procedures. The Las Vegas collective bargaining agreement defines a grievance as a dispute or a difference of opinion between the employer and the Union with regard to the meaning, interpretation and application of ...

Alternative Dispute Resolution

The future of the law is unpredictable and uncertain in character. This could be partially explained by the dynamic nature of events and factors which cumulatively fails to predict with future development and or trajectory of the law. However, over and above the normal practise, a lot of changes have been seen that point to a direction towards alternative dispute resolutions in the solution of problems and situations. In the modern divide, the increased costs of litigation, the formality of the legal system coupled with the time consuming nature of litigation is slowly compelling persons into using other avenues for the ...

The business environment is characterized with various complex business activities and processes that result to conflicts. For example, the most prevalent conflict concept in most of the organization around the globe is the conflict between an organization and the unions of workers. This is based on various employees’ conditions and terms such the enumerations among other factors. However, there are various other conflicts that arise from the business activities and processes like competing firms that lead to the formation of cartels, conflicts on prices with suppliers, among others (Deutsch Coleman & Marcus 2011, p. 26). Resolution of conflicts involves a complex ...

Not until I stepped in the Negotiation and Conflict Resolution class did I realise that conflicts, negotiations and therefore their resolutions are everywhere and happen every time in everybody’s life. I had perceived that they only happened in highly profiled talks such as those that involve rebel groups and the government or between ever-worrying states such as Israel and Palestine or America and Iran. I was wrong. I have learnt that so long as there are differences between individuals or groups of people conflicts will be present. As an aspiring diplomat, I had always been wondering about the ...

- What was the hijrah (emirgration/migration) that Muhammad and his followers made, and why was this such an important event in Muslim history?
The “Hijrah” – is the Prophet Muhammad's and his supporters` flight from Mecca to Medina, where the first Muslim community was founded in 622 AD. Basically, “hijrah” in Arabic language has got a meaning of relocation from one place to another. As a religious term, the word "hijra" is used in cases of relocation of believers who are oppressed in their homeland and deprived of freedom of religion, to other regions where there are more favorable conditions for ...

Dear Mr. Lawson:

This is useful information that can be used to encourage employee engagement while also benefiting the organization and the client. Steps that will enable effective communication within teams include open communication by leadership and team mates, understanding conflict resolution, and building respect and trust within the team environment.
Leadership sets the stage for effective communication within the team environment. Effective leaders must understand flexibility within the team structure and encourage individuals ...

Conflict resolution is the most important skill in an organization. It involves bringing two or more conflicting people or groups of people to a consensus about a contentious issue. In most cases one of the parties or both feel aggravated by the actions or utterances of the other. Therefore, it is important to make each party to state his/her situation, intentions and expectations at the beginning of the conflict resolution process (Forsyth, 2009). This gives the CR an understanding of the origin of the conflict for a good resolution.

The United Nation can be equated with peace and security, although its objectives are wider and entail promotion of human rights, social and economic development as well as self-determination. Nonetheless, the United Nation is the main collective security institution. The United Nation has a world-wide membership and various competences in security, peace as well as matching powers which entail the capability to make decisions on non-forcible measures as well as authorize various military actions that range from consensual pacification to full scale fighting. The United Nation has an ardent diplomatic function which is often channeled through the United Nation Secretary-General ...

Introduction

Culture is a critical aspect in any society because it can act as the pillar of unifying a community during a crisis or a conflict. The successful ousting of presidents in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and other countries in the Middle East during the 2011 Arab Uprising had a strong backing of Arabic and Islamic culture. 90% of Egypt’s 80 million people are Muslims and the Islamic culture unified the citizens during the 2011 uprising that removed Hosni Mubarak prom power.
Culture united and motivated millions of Egyptians to achieve common objectives. The Quran, upon which most of Egypt’s culture is based, promises ...

Over the past few months, the Customer Service department is facing a serious challenge in filling up the growing need for Customer Service Representatives (CSR) positions. This situation, if sustained much longer, may negatively impact on the superior quality that the company is providing its customers to support its high-quality products. The problem appears to be multi-faceted, which can only be determined until a thorough review of the job, the work flow, and job requirements (i.e., CSR knowledge, skills, and experience), in relation to current workloads and expectations, has been conducted. To insure an effective and efficient problem determination ...

Response to LW

I concur that there are many theories upon which professionals may base their strategies in conflict resolution. Fundamentally, it is good for the concerned parties to recognize the presence of differences that may need arbitration. Arbitration is among the proven ways of solving conflict especially if the parties come with a strategy with the help of the mediator. As you have noted, the mediator does not need to suggest ways of working out the differences but facilitate the reconciliation process. Besides that, it is essential that the counselors separate the people from the problems because mixing the two hinders ...

Question 1
In the mid 19th century, after the Second World War, Jews in the Arab countries faced the gravest ever case of human rights violation. The Arab regimes in the Middle East and northern part of Africa forced Jews to leave their homes or be held like political hostages. The Arabs came up with official statements that completely subordinated the Jews and threatened their civil, political, economic, and human rights. These actions contradicted the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Part II and Article2.1 of the covenant states that “each state party to the present ...

Introduction

President Obama enacted the Affordable Care Act as a United States Federal statute in 2010. Together with the amendment to the reconciliation bill, it promised to expand health insurance to all citizens at a reasonable cost. PPACA defines the health care as neither the right nor privilege of people but it states that citizens, however, do have a right to “affordable” healthcare, which it tries to achieve through a partnership between the market and the government. The ACA is a result of an evolution of government-funded plans such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as statutes such as HIPAA, ...

Response to LW

I agree with you on the essence to conflict resolution through strategies of negotiation. As you have noted, one needs to include the Christian perspectives of conflict resolution. However, it is not all the time that the Christian views prevail. Shamir (n.d) stated that conflicts exist in all societies, cultures, and religions. From this point of view, one needs to focus on the best approach depending on the social, economic, cultural, and religious perspectives of the concerned parties. In this respect, one cannot apply the Christian values on a Muslim or Hindu. Describe the pros of each of the ...

There are four major types of committees in the United States Congress. Each of these committees have different roles and functions. The first is the standing committee. This one has fixed jurisdiction and has stable memberships. This committee deals with most of the issues of legislative concerns that are permanent. The conference committee is made if members of the Senate and the house and issue single bills for the two house to vote on. Select commits are usually created for limited periods, and they serve a particular purpose. Joint committees are also similar and are created and comprised of members ...

Introduction

Employment tribunals have come a long way since their inception, not only in scope but also in philosophy. The idea that they should hear claims in an atmosphere far removed from the courtroom, accessibly, informally, speedily, and cheaply, no longer pertains as much as it once did. This study examines the extent to which employment tribunals in the UK fit for the purpose in meeting the needs of both aggrieved employees and employers. The study further recommends reforms for improving employment tribunals. The study traces the growth and change of employment tribunals in UK for the past five decades. These ...

Abstract

Kinship refers to human relationships by blood or marriage to another or others. It can also be defined as relatedness through having characteristics in common, or through coming from the same origin. This study focuses on how the Yanamamo, which is a foraging and horticultural society, practices kinship ties, and how these ties provide support in all the stages of their lives. By definition, horticulture, in this concept refers to a simple form of agriculture based on working on small plots of land without using draught animals, ploughs or irrigation, while foraging is the search or processes of searching for something, ...

Lenn Goodman- ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective

Challenges to Relativism

Conclusion

Introduction
Relativism is a concept that forges reality advancing assumptions which declare nothing to be absolutely true or valid. This is so because what has been proven true or valid is always based on personal perceptions which may be influenced by various predisposing factors. Often they may be merely subjective sentiments which are not universal since they only represent the view point of a few, the minority, majority or imposition of a dictator (Baghramian, 2004)
When conceptualized within the context of morality it impinges on the framework that ...

Robert and Denise are going through a very difficult time and it seems clear that intervention is needed. Of all the methods of ADR, facilitative mediation seems to be the most appropriate course of action. Through mediation, Robert and Denise will be helped to communicate effectively and slowly work through their various issues. Whether or not the couple reconcile their marriage, they are likely to have to remain in contact for the sake of their children. Therefore, they will need to find a way of communicating with each other in the long run, and mediation will be a valuable first step in ...

The plot can be described as a curve or a triangle with the climax at the top. The rising part starts with the exposition that explains the situation before the start of actions, and consists of events that lead to the climax. The falling part shows events after the climax and ends up with a conclusion or resolution that ties all threads of the work. Conflict is the main part of the plot. It can happen between two people, human and nature, a person and the society or inside character’s mind (the inner conflict).

As you are aware, I am discussing with Chip Manufacturer Company (CMC) about the following issue. Please find my action plan detailed below for the same.

Current Issue

Preparing for Negotiation
I prepared for this negotiation by initially identifying the goals. In the present scenario, my goals are to 1) not ruin the long-term relationship with CMC and 2) not take losses in the present transaction. To proceed further in the negotiations, I have to determine if CMC is also interested in a long-term relation or not. I try to find shared interests and I will try to identify things that ...

They have been a myriad of theorists that have developed theories on cognitive learning stages and human development. Among those theorists have been Erik Erikson, Abraham Maslow, and Jean Piaget. Each of these theorists have had an imperative impact on the way we view cognitive development and physical growth. Some of them focused more on how we interact with others and develop through relationships with individuals as we progress through life. While others, focused on cognitive development that is innately inherited through birth giving us a foundation of which to build upon. Erik Erikson, for example, based his theories ...

In any discussion of the conscience and the icons that have become examples of what conscience means, there is a need to discover what a conscience is and from where it comes. Only then can the discovery of iconic roles such as Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Sophocles’ Oedipus be understood as examples of how the conscience works.
There can be no conscience without communication. The requirement of communication to establish a conscience is a common human trait. “There are tribes in Africa where a baby is called a kuntu, a ‘thing,’ not a muntu, a ‘person’” (Lederer 3). It ...

Data presented on the Kids Count Data Center for the State of Maryland reports that there were 17,900 incidences of in school suspensions in the 2011/2012 school year. Aside from this, the report highlights a further 48,300 incidences of out of school suspensions in the same State in the same school year. These data represent 2% and 8% of the cumulative number of both in school and out of school suspensions reported in all States respectively. The above report evidently portrays a need for conflict resolution strategies to be implemented State-wide. This can be achieved through the ...

“A Serious Talk” by R. Carver covers the themes of separation, jealousy and identity crisis through the conflict development between protagonist Burt and his antagonist Vera with the help of limited narration, extensive symbolism, dramatic irony and absurd actions. The third-person point of view seems objective at first, but later clearly hints that the narration is limited to protagonist perspective, which shows how the main character is unable to let go of his wife. Moreover, it is seen in Burt’s attitude to Vera’s house, as if it is his own, and in his mention of multiple Vera’ ...

Introduction

In 1981, the first publication of getting Getting to Yes came out and since then it has been translated into many languages. In 1983, authors Ury, Patton and Fisher founded the Harvard project for Negotiation based on their seminar work on conflict resolution. With time they have been engaged in international and national negotiations, the central focus is the certainty that conflict resolution and negotiation skills are highly required in our world in all levels, from communities to international relations and individuals through families.

Q1: The four cycles of HR are: acquisition, development, maintenance, and separation . Acquisition is also one of the relevant functions of HR which directly affects HRM. Acquisition involves recruitment, screening, and placement of applicants for positions that are vacant in the organization. Thus, the ability of HR personnel to locate candidates that perfectly match the needs and requirements of the organization as defined in the job description would determine the level of effectiveness in the HRM system.
Development is also a function of HRM that involves training of personnel and identifying opportunities for promotions and earmarking career paths. This ...

“Foreign aid consists of all resources – physical goods, skills and technical know-how, financial grants (gifts), or loans (at concessional rates) transferred by donors to recipients” (Riddell 2007, 17). It can be in three different forms: bilateral, which is from one country to another, multilateral, which is from institutions like World Bank and IMF to other countries or institutions, and NGOs based foreign aid (Riddell 2007). The idea officially started from post World War Two even though many countries are found before that too helping the other countries in various forms of aid (Hjertholm and White 1998). The objective behind ...

While the hit Netflix television series “Orange is the New Black” has succeeded in pulling back the curtain a bit on the situation facing woman in the criminal justice system; popular notions, assumptions and stereotypes of female offenders remain misleading at best or completely false at worst. More importantly, however, public policy continues to ignore the special status of women offenders despite the fact, as the show illustrates, of major differences in the types of crimes in which women commit crimes and the frequency in which they commit them.
Even though the traditional portrayal of women in the criminal ...

In the 2008 film Die Welle (The Wave) directed by Dennis Gansel and produced by Rat Pack Film and Christian Becker, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (portrayed by Jürgen Vogel) challenged his students about the possibility of an authoritarian government in modern Germany. To prove its possibility, he provoked his students to being his blind Nazi followers while he plays as the dictator "Herr Wenger". It was an experiential experiment gone astray but a subtle and touching revelation on the transcendence of fascism in contemporary time.
For Rainer, it started as an innocent class strategy in teaching Autocracy ...

Question one

If the agents of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were to walk into Skywalker’s store and arrest him, it is our argument that the EPA can neither fine nor jail him for the alleged violation of the law. In answering this question in the negative, much consideration has been given to the wording and the text of the legal provisions creating the offence. It is my submission that there is no disclosure of an offence known to law as to attract any legal sanctions. In particular, the law stipulates that all glass top coffee tables are banned in ...

Racism is essentially pronounced in the twentieth century, assuming a strategic position in both political and administration policies. Earlier scholars such us John Locke popularized the belief in equality of humanity by describing the background of human societies, the state and morality. Particularly, the scholar introduced the idea of a “state of nature’’ asserting that men are equally free. However, this state is no longer identifiable in the contemporary society that is highly informed by biased racial assumptions. Charles Mills developed the concept of “racial contract” that describes the state of affairs in the contemporary society. The scholar challenges the existence ...

The right to decide whether a woman is ready to bear the responsibility of a child, a life, should be granted to the woman. Currently, abortion is illegal in several countries across the globe, some even going to the extent of endangering the mother’s life so as to avoid aborting a fetus. While most of the arguments against legalizing abortion have been founded on the concept of the fetus’ right to life, there is also great contention that a woman is the best judge of whether she can carry the responsibility of the child. Hence, the legalization of abortion should be allowed in ...

Internal and External challenges a Manager Faces

Internal challenges a manager faces can be at a personal level and an organization level. Internal organizational challenges may include reducing the number of staff, having to work with a reduced budget, dealing with a reduction in sales, having to handle the consequences of newly implemented technology that has failed, hiring the right and qualified individuals, firing underperforming employees, how to deal with outstanding employees. Personal challenges may include behavior challenges. For instance, how does one respond to crisis? This could be inform of temper or understanding or may be showing empathy in cases where there is loss of life.

- Equality issues that trade unions should address
Promotion of equality at the work place is one of the key functions of trade unions. The main priorities that trade unions bargain on are pay packages that are offered to workers and the terms and conditions under which the workers carry out their duties. The framework that governs the employer regulation has been strengthened over in the years in countries such the United Kingdom, United States of America and Denmark; it is often the prerogative of the employers to interpret the statute law. The trade unions are a powerful force ...

The importance of honesty runs deeply throughout human nature. One of the most common manifestations of honesty has to do with money. Mark Twain, one of the famed American cynics, wrote that “honesty is the best policy – when there is money in it.” When there is a financial (or other material) incentive, people tend to be more likely to be honest. However, building a track record of dishonesty can be corrosive to the soul; in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, the entire course of the story centers around being honest about one’s inner pain instead of concealing it. The ...

Question 1: What is the value of cultural awareness and sensitivity training for psychologist? Discuss

Globally, psychologists interact with clients who emanate from a background characterized by diversity in terms of ethnicity, linguistic orientation and cultural establishment. They work in varied environments and under different conditions. Generally, their experiences differ considerably. Their effectiveness is dependent on a host of factors. These range from the skills and knowledge that they have to experience in this particular field of specification. To knowledgeably and acceptably perform their duties, it cannot be disputed that psychologists have to endow themselves with sufficient knowledge and skills. However, of great importance in the current, diverse work environment is their ability to deal with ...

Optimism has never done very well in literature, or any of the written media. From the very beginning, the stories that were recorded for posterity revolved around chaos, around, heartache, around tragedy. The Book of Job, considered by many to be the oldest part of the Old Testament, is about a wager between God and his adversary over the morals of a man; that man's family and possessions are the chattel in that wager. The earliest Greek writings include the tragedies of Sophocles and Aeschylus; the plots include twists that might even make the Kardashians blush: a son murdering his father (without ...

Analysis of “tender offer” by Wendy Wasserstein

Tender offer is a one act play with two main characters; Paul and Lisa. Paul is Lisa’s father. The play’s setting is the dance studio where Lisa who is only nine years old was performing earlier before her father’s arrival.

The play starts off with Lisa singing “Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina” (Wasserstein, 26) while performing a dance routine. She does this while waiting for her father Paul, a 35 year old man to come and pick her up. Lisa stops singing as soon as she notices her father. Paul encourages her to continue but ...

Conflict Resolution and Alternative Dispute Resolution

The marriage institution is one of the hardest and most difficult institutions to manage. It requires commitment and sacrifice of the highest standards because it is a lifelong process and the parties involved ought to respect each other’s interests. This is a case where two different people commit to spend the rest of their lives together in the name of love. However, somewhere along the way, things seem to change, as it was the case with the Patton’s family. The family lived together for long until their disabled son was born. Things immediately changed because the husband could not ...
