Learn from two insiders how the 1981 PATCO strike and the Reagan administration changed labor-management relations by sanitizing corporate reliance on strike-breakers, discouraging strikes, destroying a federal labor union, blacklisting over 11,000 striking air traffic controllers, and tilting power in favor of business from that time to this.

Class action discrimination suits have brought otherwise successful companies to their knees. Such lawsuits often have their greatest impact outside the courtroom—in the court of public opinion. Brand names that took years and millions of dollars to build have been trashed in days. The companies often seem surprised to be sued, and even more surprised at the public’s interest and apparent acceptance of the allegations. Attacked publicly, these companies often respond aggressively and ineffectively, making the situation even worse. Expensive settlements usually ensue, without any actual proof that the company had discriminated. Besides the financial cost, these lawsuits, even after settlement, can severely disrupt employee relations – particularly with those employees who do not benefit from the settlement. Additional lawsuits often follow. Customers and other stakeholders may not forgive the company for the underlying discrimination (however unproven) or for the way the matter was defended. In this book, Carron gives useful advice on how to prevent discrimination suits, and if sued, how to survive the attack. Carron explains how companies, just like individuals, can learn and practice respect for differences—and thereby defuse the discrimination bomb, while creating a workplace that is fair to all.

Although the level of U.S. per capita output was higher than that of any other industrialized country at the end of World War II, output has increased by more than four times and per capita output has more than doubled. Empirical evidence has shifted the terms of professional debates over the importance of investment and productivity as sources of postwar growth. This volume traces this outstanding growth performance to investments in tangible assets and human capital. The distinctive feature of investment as a source of economic growth is that returns can be internalized by the investor. The most straightforward application of this idea is to investments that create property rights. These include rights to transfer the resulting assets and benefit from the incomes that are generated. This volume broadens the meaning of capital formation to include the investments in education and training. The contributions of these investments to economic growth can be identified from their impacts on labor incomes. After the slowdown in U.S. economic growth that began in 1973 it became apparent that economic research had failed to produce a satisfactory basis for policies to generate growth. This volume provides the starting point for development of a new consensus based on the policies that stimulate and reward investments in tangible assets and human capital. These policies will focus on returns that can be internalized by investors, ending the fruitless search for "spill overs" that can generate growth without providing incentives for capital formation.

By Gailen David
How do people in customer service adopt the 'frame of mind' that allows them to provide exceptional service? It's called Jetiquette and the program received the 2008 Travel Weekly Magellan Award for employee training. At the age of 10, Gailen David dreamed of a career in the airline industry. Armed with a notebook, telephone and "official Airline Guide" he began booking travel for friends and family. With an unwavering confidence that this was his calling, he passionately devoured information about his dream career. Years later David realized his dream, becoming a flight attendant with American Airlines. But David's life long love affair with the travel industry was quickly tainted by toxic interactions that spread like a cancer to co-workers and the passengers he once attentively served. David's calling had become a yoke which trapped him in a downward spiral of defeat and despair. Crash landing on a therapist's couch, David was able to reclaim his childhood enthusiasm. In "Jetiquette...The Customer Experience and You", David shares his flight path from a surly, unhappy employee to a fulfilled, balanced life that is filled with positive interactions. "Jetiquette...The Customer Experience and You", is more than a book on finding career satisfaction but one that explores our craving for genuine interactions in an increasingly impersonal world. Readers will be inspired as they learn the power of emotional engagement at work and in life. David shares his secrets to making each day at work a confidence building success; making a positive difference in the lives of many. This book is an inspirational read for both management and those on the front-lines.
