Why HR Matters.......a great quote from Jack Welch!
Submitted by simonparkin on Wed, 2009-06-03 15:51."[If] there was ever a time to underscore the importance of HR, it has arrived. And sadly, if there was ever a time to see how few companies get HR right, it has arrived, too ... If their company is in a crisis — or their own career — perhaps they've at last seen the light. HR matters enormously in the good times. It defines you in the bad."

Robert Smithson's Legal Ease - Employees Cannot Dictate Duties
Submitted by simonparkin on Mon, 2009-02-23 08:13.EMPLOYEES CANNOT DICTATE DUTIES
Over the past few months a battle has been fought in B.C. between the Teachers Federation and the Public School Employers’ Association over the application of province-wide standardized testing. The BCTF assembled broad support amongst its members for its refusal to administer the tests to B.C. students.
As this dispute has evolved, many people have asked me, “How can the teachers get away with this?”. The simple answer is that they cannot. They do not have the authority to dictate to their employer, the PSEA, what duties they will and will not perform.
