📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Supplying temporary workers during strikes is now illegal! 📢 As of today, "employers can no longer use agency staff to fill in for striking workers during industrial action after the High Court ruled that government legislation introduced last year is unlawful". This outcome matches our values here at HR GO, as we believe agencies must behave transparently and ethically - we consider people as the most important factor in our business.

The habit to know more This year I have been in a habit of joining law seminars. I have found that seminars gives you an opportunity to explore various aspects of the law within a very short period of time. The Q and A sessions held during these lectures gives attendees an understanding of the practical problems that attorneys are facing on a regular basis. Given that last month I added Labour Law to the portfolio of matters that I am handling for the department, this seminar was definetly a welcomed experience. 😀 #LabourDispute

What Type Of Live-In Care Agency Is Right For Me? When you have reached the decision that Live-in Care is right for you or for a loved one, you should then consider what will be the right ‘type’ of agency for you. Every single company/agency you contact will have a slightly different service offering. However, there are two principal options – and they can be categorised as an ‘Recruitment & Introductory agency’ and a ‘Managed care agency.’ https://lnkd.in/ecrc28g3

✍ E. Donald Elliott: ,,The overwhelming majority of policy decisions made by the national government in the U.S. today are made by administrative officials, not elected ones.”🏛️💼🚫 What processes have led to this and what are the consequences today of the transfer of decision-making power from Congress to the bureaucracy? https://lnkd.in/gduSws2H #AdministrativeState #legalredesign #Congress #bureaucracy #power

So many things for the small business owner or non-profit to be aware of. Don't skimp and create a contract without legal consultation. If your hire knows the law better than you do, it could be a costly error. Don't think a set of values, or a robust company culture, or any homage to DEI will cover you. As they say, ignorance of the law is no excuse. And let's face it, you owe it to your employees to have a proper contract in place that protects them also. I find these nuances of employment law fascinating - knowing your local as well as provincial/state federal laws can save you from litigation that could break a start-up or family business.

With a potential UPS and International Brotherhood of Teamsters strike looming, it reminds me of a union strike from the not-too-distant past. Toys"R"Us expanded into Sweden in 1995 and did not understand the significance of unions or the solidarity amongst Swedish workers. Toys"R"Us, per company policy, would not sign a collective agreement which was standard in organizations throughout Sweden. So, the 150 employees went on strike. The employees had the support of the Swedish people, in which roughly 70% belonged to a union. When Toys"R"Us refused to back down, citizens of other unions began to act during the 3-month strike. ⚠ transport workers stopped delivering to Toys"R"Us stores ⚠ warehouse workers wouldn't handle the shipments ⚠ bank workers refused to process the transactions UPS workers are asking for higher pay, more full-time positions, and better workplace and safety conditions. According to their website, UPS 'is one of the world’s largest companies, with 2022 revenue of $100.3 billion, and provides a broad range of integrated logistics solutions for customers in more than 220 countries and territories. The company’s more than 500,000 employees embrace a strategy that is simply stated and powerfully executed: Customer First. People Led. Innovation Driven.' https://lnkd.in/d5t9dvpq https://lnkd.in/dW2HPvag. #union #strike #teamsters #economy
