  • 1992 Scottsdale Shared Vision
    SCOTTSDALE SHARED VISION CITY COUNCIL REVIEW EDITION PRESENTED TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL BY THE CITIZENS VISIONING ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON DECEMBER 14,1992 It may sound like a mission impossible, but the Scottsdale Vzsioning Program is this city's most important project in years. While the conclusions can't satisfy everyone and shouldn't be cast in stone, we hope they can achieve a strong enough consensus to guide the city's growth and development into the 21st century. - Scottsdale Progress January, 1992 Here is an innovative planning process uniquely undisciplined, that is not as concerned with solving problems as it is with seeking opportunities. The concept embraced by this process, called Scottsdale Vzsioning, is mind-boggling. There are no limits, and its purpose is not to be logical The ftuit of this effort might be born from just a faint, momentary whiff or a nebulous notion about what the most important people in Scottsdale - all of its citizens - are thinking today, about tomo"ow. - Scottsdale Scene Magazine May, 1992 What comes through loud and clear from the citizen testimony is that Scottsdale must take steps to increase, rather than allow a decrease in what makes us special The frontier values of individuality, trust, courage, and creativity must be held high above those of consistency, conformity, and mediocrity. - The Shared Vzsion December, 1992 VISION REQUIRES BEING IN FOCUS To fully empower what the citizens of Scottsdale have created in the Shared Vision, requires a clear understanding as to what this report addresses as opposed to considerations which are outside its focus.

  • National Labor Relations Board an Outline of Law And
    NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD AN OUTLINE OF LAW AND PROCEDURE IN REPRESENTATION CASES N.L.R.B. AN OUTLINE OF LAW AND PROCEDURE IN REPRESENTATION CASES NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD AN OUTLINE OF LAW AND PROCEDURE IN REPRESENTATION CASES OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL August 2008 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402-9328 Preface We are very pleased to provide Agency staff and the labor-management community with this updated edition of “An Outline of Law and Procedure in Representation Cases.” This book was originally issued in the early 1960s and was the work of then Assistant General Counsel Elihu Platt. It was not revised until 1992 when John Higgins volunteered to update the text. Since then, he has revised and updated the text in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002, and again in 2005. In this new edition, Deputy General Counsel Higgins has brought the text through December 2007, has added a number of new topics, and has updated the subject matter index. Any suggestions or corrections for future editions should be forwarded to John Higgins at Board headquarters. This book is a very important research tool. Both during my years as a private practitioner and while serving as a Board Member and as General Counsel, I referred to this book in researching representation case issues. I know from comments from practitioners that it continues to be a much used and valuable vehicle for researching “R” cases. My thanks to John Higgins for his willingness to continue his efforts at keeping the Outline up to date.

  • Quarterly Update of NLRB and Related Court Decisions January 2007 by Richard I
    Publications Quarterly Update of NLRB and Related Court Decisions January 2007 By Richard I. Greenberg, Philip B. Rosen and Eric P. Simon January 31, 2007 Meet the Authors In this second of a quarterly series, Jackson Lewis LLP's Labor Practice Group summarizes National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB" or "the Board") and related court decisions primarily issued between approximately August 2006 and December 2006 applicable to private sector employers. Board decisions generally continue to reflect the pro-business views of the current Board members and administration. Richard I. Greenberg Decisions in The Union Organizing/Protected Concerted Activity Context Principal Legality of Employer Inquiries, Actions and Rules in Response to Employees' Union New York Metro New York City 212-545-4080 Activity/Protected Concerted Activity Email In Amcast Automotive of Indiana, Inc., 348 NLRB No. 47 (9/29/06), the Board reversed an Administrative Law Judge's ("ALJ") finding that the employer unlawfully interrogated and discharged an employee, but adopted the ALJ's finding that the employer violated the National Labor Relations Act (Section 8(a)(1)) by telling the employee that union activity played a role in his discharge three weeks after he was terminated. Section 8(a) (1) prohibits employers from interfering, restraining or coercing employees in their right to join, form or assist unions, and to engage in other concerted activity protected by Section 7 of the Act. The Board found that merely asking the employee whether there was any truth to "the rumors," referring to a possible union organizing drive, did not violate the Act unless under all of the circumstances the questioning reasonably tended to restrain, coerce, or Philip B.
