Labor Blotter


Senator Hillary Clinton is reaching out to labor in her likely bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Meetings are scheduled next week with several major labor unions including the International Association of Firefighters and the Service Employees International Union.

FedEx delivery drivers in Wilmington, Massachusetts voted to join the Teamsters, the first drivers to do so within the FedEx Home Delivery System. The National Labor Relations Board has ruled seven times since 1988 that FedEx Ground and Home Delivery Drivers are not independent contractors and are eligible to join unions.

The Massachusetts Nurses Association and Brigham and Women's Hospital averted a strike by reaching a tentative agreement that includes a pay raise and contract language protecting newly licensed nurses and union rights.

Nearly 1000 workers at the the world's largest hog slaughterhouse staged a two day wildcat strike at the Smithfield plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina after the company fired 75 workers whose social security numbers did not match government records. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union, in what is a change for organized labor in the United States, has been attempting to organize the plant despite the fact many of the workers are illegal immigrants.

"Stygian" is such an apt description for any website that describes the candidacy of Hilary as "likely."

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It's all about how to select a correct partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

You may get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
