Probationary Employees: Case Study

212 Words1 Page

In reviewing section 15.2 of the contract; “Probationary employees shall move up one (1) step in the pay grade after six (6) months employment”. Now with many of the transit employees placed in step 1 as a result of them advancing two pay grades. When a new employee is hired and completes six months of employment, they will move up one step this will cause a disparity due to the fact a new employee will advance to the next step while we have senior employees still waiting for their anniversary date for the increase and or on the same step as more senior staff and advancing at the same rate. This may also result in new employees advancing ahead of them in future step increases. At this time I’m unaware of anyone being hired at the transit department

    The City of Houston then filed a timely appeal stating that they did not receive timely notice of the alleged violation and that the liability of Bozeman should rest with Bozeman and not be imputed to the City as having been notified of the complaint allegations. 5.

  • Abood V. Detroit Board Education Case Study

    648 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am in favor of the Petitioner in the name of Rebecca Friedrichs who supports the idea of overturning the precedent Abood v. Detroit Board Education where the Supreme Court ruled that public agency shop arrangements are constitutional. Public-sector agency shop arrangements aren’t completely incorrect in regards to the subject of having the right to represent since they do have the “legal duty to represent all workers” (“Supreme Court takes case on ‘fair share’ union fees,” 2015). It explains how they do have the constitutionality behind representation and also behind their practices (Abood v. Detroit Board Education) yet regarding their actions, it doesn’t mean that the ruling in Abood v. Detroit Board Education should’nt be overturned especially considering unions require nonmembers to pay “their fair share of fees” for bargaining costs despite the

  • Oubre V. Entergy Operations, Inc. Case Summary

    623 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Oubre v. Entergy Operations, Inc. Case, Dolores Oubre the plaintiff was a scheduler at power plant in Killona, Louisiana, which is run by Entergy Operations, Inc. (the defendant). In 1994, Oubre’s employer gave her two options: she can either improve her job performance or accept a severance pay. While accepting the severance package, Oubre signed a document that released her employer Entergy of all claims. Although the employer Entergy Operations was released of all claims, it failed to meet specific standards or requirements for a release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), as decided or set forth in the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). In procuring the release, Entergy failed to comply in at least three respects with the requirements for a release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as set forth in the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act: It did not (1) give Oubre enough time to consider her options, (2) give her seven days to change her mind, or (3) make specific reference to ADEA claims (Twomey, 2013, p. 548).

  • Unocumented Workers: Hiring Undocumented Workers

    698 Words  | 3 Pages

    The employer entered into a voluntary settlement agreement with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), assenting to reinstating and recompensing, back pay, each illegally discharged person. Later, the employer refused to comply with the negotiated terms of the agreement because the firm proclaimed to have evidence that many of the discharged individuals were undocumented workers. Therefore, if reinstated, the employer would be in violation of both federal (Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986) and state (the Legal Arizona Workers Act) immigration laws. Both of which prohibits the hiring of undocumented workers. As a matter of public policy, the employer should not be required to reinstate the unlawfully terminated employee, due to said persons being undocumented workers.
