From the Paper
"For many years, potential employees were politely interviewed then never called back to accept the position. There was a general mindset that they could not work as hard, or as fast or as well as their younger peers could work. The advances in medical science have begun to change the way the older population is viewed. People are living longer than ever before and with that longevity come the desire to stay busy and contribute to society well into the "golden years"."
"One of the problems that the older generation is encountering however is the attitude toward their contribution to the work force. When a person reaches a certain age they suddenly find themselves "unemployable" even when they are highly skilled and experienced in the field."

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends and proves that worker satisfaction goes far beyond salary demands. Recent surveys indicate that the most important aspect of worker satisfaction is recognition and praise for a job well done. This paper stresses the importance of human resource managers in finding the proper mix to garner satisfaction on behalf of the employee while obtaining efficient and productive results for the employer. This paper contains a detailed questionnaire which was used to interview managers and workers in both the service and production industries, as well as the results of the interviews. Based on the results of the questionnaire, there is a remarkable difference between the service industry and a production facility, which are detailed in this paper. The writer also delves into the issues of women, discrimination and affirmative action in the work place.

From the Paper
"The interviews with "ordinary" workers as well as low-level management were conducted anonymously. There was no mention of name, race, or gender. Permission was sought and granted that the results would be shared with Human Resources Management. Unfortunately, as is often the case, less than 60% of the questionnaires passed out were submitted. Time did not provide sufficient availability of the employees for a "sit-down" discussion. Approximately 10% of the questionnaires, therefore, were filled out during personal, head-to-head discussions. One listened as long as the employee/manager was willing to talk. One thing was obvious, a sort of theme running throughout: in a tight labor market, there is far less loyalty to a company than there used to be. Books on the subject bear this out."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), explaining that it specifically relates to workers of age 40 and older, as Congress believed that this was the age when there was the most evidence of age discrimination. The paper explains that the ADEA directly focuses on a number of issues that affect concerns of age discrimination. These issues include the hiring of employees, the promotion of employees, the salaries of employees and the ability of the company to discharge workers. The paper further explains that the Act discusses the publication of materials for workers that relates to their employment and how these publications may have a direct impact on the interpretation of the ADEA in courts.

Abstract
This paper explains that older employees and job applicants, who are 40 years of age or older, are protected under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The author states that claimants can use time-consuming and costly processes of litigation, mediation, or dispute resolution to reach a settlement or decision on their complaints. The paper states that age discrimination claims continue to be the fastest-rising claims with the EEOC because American workers are living and working longer, sometimes into their 70s.
From the Paper
"The EEOC recently settled a major age discrimination suit against Foot Locker. In any discrimination case, the following qualifications must be met: the claimant must be a member of a protected class, adverse employment action has occurred, legitimate reasons exist for the cause of action. When an employee feels that he has been discriminated against, he can file a claim with the EEOC who will investigate. In the case against Foot Locker (who owned Woolworth Inc.), employees 40 years old or over were laid off. But immediatley after these layoffs, younger workers were hired from the outside and filled the vacant positions that were left by the older workers (EEOC)."

Equal Employment Opportunity, 2005.
Examines age discrimination as a form of unfair treatment in the American workforce.

Abstract
When most Americans think of the term Equal Employment Opportunity, they think about racial discrimination. However, as the Baby Boom generation, the largest generation in American history, gets older, age discrimination is likely to become a larger and larger factor in the discrimination lexicon. This paper shows that more and more equal employment opportunity lawsuits are likely to be initiated because older workers think they have not gotten fair treatment by their employers. In order to assess the current status of both public and legal thinking regarding age discrimination as an equal employment opportunity issue at present, a number of these publications are researched in this paper for recent events and cases regarding age discrimination.
From the Paper
"In denying the charges, Belk claimed that the changes were meant to consolidate operations from five division offices in the Southeast to the Charlotte headquarters (Dyer 2003). While that may make good business sense, it might also raise a red flag with observers, as most of the jobs in question where high-level jobs in the divisions which might be assumed to carry not only sizeable salaries, but would also be performed, in many cases, by older workers who were approaching retirement and would therefore be eligible for pensions. The attorney representing the employees noted "Many times in these kind of cases, the older employees who were making more money and bigger pensions are the first ones to go...You can't just decide to get rid of all of these old people just because they're making a lot of money." (Quoted by Dyer 2003)"

Knowledge Workers, 2002.
This paper discusses a new category of workers, ?knowledge workers?, who are classified this way because of their close association with information systems.

Abstract
This paper explains that anyone who makes a living out of creating, manipulating or disseminating knowledge is a knowledge worker. The paper points out that knowledge workers need not be solely associated with computer related fields as programming or software development but also can be doctors, attorney, accountants, and almost every professional who uses information products or technological tools. The author states that the demand for knowledge workers is rapidly increasing world wide because of the steady shift in the economic structure from industry to information technology.
From the Paper
"Information specialists are quickly taking over most business activities as it was reported that California alone has 25% of the workforce classified as knowledge workers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics also expects ?a net increase of more than 10,000 information professionals in the U. S. labor force by 2006" (Bender 1998, p. 35). This shows how knowledge is now the most important factor in determining the success or failure of corporations and their workforce. Countries and companies where knowledge is still being treated as a second citizen and industrial power is considered more important are headed for disaster. In coming few years, knowledge will take over all other ways of working because of the rapid advancement in technology and the convenience that brings along."

Abstract
This paper examines some of the commonly held misconceptions about people over the age of 65 and their job performance skills. The paper dispels some of the negative myths about the performance ability of older workers and outlines the reasons why employers could benefit from an aging work force.
From the Paper
"Today, many workers who hit retirement age are opting to keep working. Many factors contribute to this fact: economics, changes in retirement age, continuing need for personal achievement, and employers? need and desire to keep older workers on the job. In today?s economy, many workers simply cannot afford to retire (Hawthorne, 2003). At the same time, the age for eligibility for Social Security retirement benefits will eventually climb from 62 to 67 with a substantial reduction in benefits for early retirees. This means that many older Americans will spend at least two to five years longer in the workforce or have to change their lifestyle. In addition, many older people simply want to keep working. The world faces a future in which a whole generation is healthy, wealthy and bored. Many will choose to keep working or will go back to work."

Abstract
This paper discusses current workers' compensation reform. The problem presented in this paper is that although reform measures like Senate Bill 899 have had a positive effect on workers' compensation, particularly to making it more efficient, it has had a substantial effect on the way workers' compensation is done. However, reform also means that the workers' compensation practitioner has to make internal adjustments. This paper first presents an overview of the specific changes created by Senate Bill 899 and, second, makes specific recommendations as to practice changes that the workers' compensation practitioner will have to abide by in order to continue to have a profitable and compliant workers' compensation practice. The paper focuses only on the changes created by Senate Bill 899 as they effect the attorney and practice of the plaintiff's side of workers' compensation.

D. Scope
II. Overview of Senate Bill 899
III. Effects of Senate Bill 899
A. Procedural Changes
B. Financial Impact
C. Retraining Issues
D. Penalties for Noncompliance
IV. Conclusion
From the Paper
"Senate Bill 899 was enacted as a means to attempt to save jobs, reduce the costs of carrying workers' compensation insurance for employers, and improve the overall care available for the injured workers. The law was passed by the legislature with overwhelming, bipartisan support and was signed into law on April 19, 2004 by Governor Schwarzenegger. In summary, the reforms provided by Senate Bill 899 focuses primarily on controlling the ever-escalating costs of medial treatment. At the time of the bill's passing, medical costs accounted for fifty-one percent of every dollar and indemnity benefit, which accounted for forty-nine percent of every workers' compensation dollar spent. These expenses had all significantly risen over a period of less than ten years. For example, in 1997 it was estimated that California employers paid a total of $3.4 billion dollars in indemnity costs. By 2003 this number was at an estimated $5.8 billion. In 1997 an estimated 2.6 billion in medical costs was paid, whereas by 2003 the number had increased to $6.1 billion. Finally, the total costs spent by all California employers on workers' compensation (indemnity, medical, etc.) was at an estimated $8.3 billion in 1997. By 2003 this number was at an estimated $26.7 Billion. It was this problematic trend that Senate Bill 899 was aimed at reversing, or at least controlling."

Abstract
This study attempts to determine the relationship between work autonomy and job satisfaction of EAP social workers in internal employee assistance program settings by looking at a number of work related factors. To begin with, the paper considers the extent of the relationship, if any, between work autonomy and job satisfaction among social workers. It then looks at the nature of job satisfaction from a social worker's perspective as well as how employee assistance programs can assist social work managers in improving social worker job satisfaction.

"Substance abuse in the American workplace is an enormously expensive and growing problem today. According to Pace, Smits and Youngblood (1992), there are literally billions of dollars being lost in terms of productivity, as well as an incalculable amount of human misery and the erosion of world preeminence in the marketplace as direct or indirect consequence of workplace substance abuse. These authors report that properly designed and managed EAPs have demonstrated a significant, proven, and much needed role to play in the prevention and the treatment of workplace substance abuse. "Yet there are only about 10,000 EAPs in existence today in the American workplace, covering perhaps 10 percent of the work force" (Pace, Smits & Youngblood, 1992, p. xvi)."

The American Dream and Migrant Workers, 2005.
A look at how the plight of migrant workers today seeking the American dream has not changed since their depiction in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath".

Abstract
This paper contends that, although advancements in technology and progress in legislation to protect workers may seem to ease migrant workers' hardships in the United States, migrant workers today are no better off than those depicted in "The Grapes of Wrath". It discusses how the mindset of the men employing migrant workers today has not changed from that of those who employed migrant workers more than sixty years ago.
From the Paper
"Much of the hope of migrant farm workers in The Grapes of Wrath lay in the pursuit of the "American Dream." As Wilson said, "Why, jus' think how it's gonna be, under them shady trees a-pickin' fruit an' takin' a bite ever' once in a while...I bet a fella could have a place of his own." (201) The migrant farm workers were only seeking comfortable lives and relatively good wages to sustain those comfortable lifestyles. They were looking for equality and fairness for themselves and for their communities. An example of their seeking fairness and equality was when a large group of people were on strike at the Hooper ranch in Pixley, California. Their wages had been reduced so much that the workers could not survive, so they bravely initiated a strike."

Workers Compensation Rehabilitation, 2002.
Cites the history of workers compensation in the United States and why it was created.
2,633 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 10 sources, APA, £ 53.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Explains the United States system of workers compensation, the process of workers compensation that existed prior to the current system, the criteria that must be met by an employee before he can make a claim for workers compensation, and the benefits now offered by the system. Also discussed are some of the problems of the current workers compensation system.
From the Paper
"For example, typical legal language states that in order for an injury to be covered, the harm suffered by the employee must have been caused by an "accidental personal injury arising out of and in the course of employment." Those few words, in this example from the Maryland Worker?s Compensation law, are the subject of many court decisions and interpretations. Not all injuries are covered by a Workers' Compensation Law even if the injury happened "on the job." Just because a person is hurt "while working," "on the job" or "at work" may not be enough for the insurance to apply."

Abstract
The paper discusses how workers are in a weak position today. The paper explains that they are facing job losses and pay and benefits cuts and their lobbying power is weakening. The paper maintains that by creating a worker-rights group that is open to all American workers, regardless of union affiliation, workers can create an inclusive organization with the financial resources to advance a pro-worker agenda.
Outline:
Structuring the Organization
Legislative Program
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Much of the 20th century was defined by the worker movement, with Americans joining labor unions and other organizations in droves to achieve safer working conditions, better benefits, more equitable pay for women and people of color, and several other victories. However, the first years of the 21st century have, in many ways, not been the era of the worker. Union membership is down to just 12 percent of the working population, and the AFL-CIO has suffered infighting and a schism as labor leaders struggle to fix the besieged union movement (Union members)."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"In India, the two main routes of infection are heterosexual contact and drug use. AIDS infections began spreading rapidly in India in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the response was slow. Officials were reluctant to admit AIDS was in India. For example, by 1991 only 1,254 AIDS cases were formally reported to WHO for the whole of Asia. However, the true figures were likely ten times as high. In the early 1990s, it began to seem that India and Thailand were the two Asian countries with the highest infection rates."
