  • The Labor Agreements Between UAW and the Big Three Automakers- Good Economics Or Bad Economics? John J
    Journal of Business & Economics Research – January, 2009 Volume 7, Number 1 The Labor Agreements Between UAW And The Big Three Automakers- Good Economics Or Bad Economics? John J. Lucas, Purdue University Calumet, USA Jonathan M. Furdek, Purdue University Calumet, USA ABSTRACT On October 10, 2007, the UAW membership ratified a landmark, 456-page labor agreement with General Motors. Following pattern bargaining, the UAW also reached agreement with Chrysler LLC and then Ford Motor Company. This paper will examine the major provisions of these groundbreaking labor agreements, including the creation of the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA), the establishment of a two tier wage structure for newly hired workers, the job security provisions, the new wage package for hourly workers, and the shift to defined contribution plans for new hires. The paper will also provide an economic analysis of these labor agreements to consider both if the “Big Three” automakers can remain competitive in the global market and what will be their impact on the UAW and its membership. Keywords: UAW, 2007 Negotiations, Labor Contracts BACKGROUND he 2007 labor negotiations among the Big Three automakers (General Motors, Chrysler LLC, and Ford Motor) and the United Autoworkers (UAW) proved to be historic, as well as controversial as they sought mutually to agree upon labor contracts that would “usher in a new era for the auto Tindustry.” Both parties realized the significance of attaining these groundbreaking labor agreements, in order for the American auto industry to survive and compete successfully in the global economy. For the UAW, with its declining membership of approximately 520,000, that once topped 1.5 million members, a commitment from the Big Three automakers for product investments to protect jobs and a new health care trust fund were major goals.

  • Costa Rican Banana Industry
    The Growth of the Banana Industry in Costa Rica and Its Effect on Biodiversity: History and Loss of Biodiversity THE HISTORY OF BANANAS IN COSTA RICA Historically banana plantations have played an integral part in Costa Rica's economy. The first banana plantation was created in 1872 and commercial export began in 1879. By 1899, The United Fruit Company was formed and went on to become well established throughout Central America within several countries, which were known, as the "banana republics". However, by 1956, the Costa Rican government had become concerned about the number of plantations, which had been developed and abandoned due to "Panama Disease" (a root fungus), not to mention the careless use of the country’s natural resources by the United Fruit Company (Hernadez and Witter, 1996). At this point the government recruited the Standard Fruit Company (now Dole, a subsidiary of Castle and Cooke) who began purchasing small amounts of fruit from local growers. Unfortunately it was also at this point in time that the use of agro-chemicals was put into practice, with this came the use of large amounts of pesticides, fungicides, nematocides, (Astorga, 1996) and other chemicals, as well as other intensive field and processing management. As of 1967, the United Fruit Company became known as the United Brands Company and the Chiquita label was introduced into Costa Rica. In 1968 another company, Del Monte, through [its] subsidiary, BANDECO, started producing and exporting from the Atlantic Zone. These three companies, Dole, Chiquita, and Del Monte are known as the "Big Three" in Costa Rica (McCracken, 1998).

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.

Towns and villages were flattened, farms were destroyed and railways had been blown up. It seemed that the world would not be the same again. At the end of the war, the leaders of the winning countries met to decide how to deal with the losing countries - this would be a huge task. The leaders of the winning countries could try to seek revenge or they could try to build a better and more peaceful world.

  • The Power of the Big Three, and Why It Matters
    Working Draft, 02/21/2021 THE POWER OF THE BIG THREE, AND WHY IT MATTERS Lucian Bebchuk* & Scott Hirst** This Article focuses on the power and corporate governance significance of the three largest index fund managers commonly referred to collectively as the “Big Three.” We present current evidence on the substantial voting power of the Big Three, and explain why it is likely to persist and indeed further grow. We show that, due to their voting power, the Big Three have considerable influence on corporate outcomes, through both what they do and what they fail to do. We also discuss the Big Three’s undesirable incentives both to under-invest in stewardship and to be excessively deferential to corporate managers. In the course of our analysis, we reply to responses and challenges to our earlier work on these issues that have been put forward by high-level officers of the Big Three and by a significant number of prominent academics. These attempts to downplay Big Three power or the problems with their incentives, we show, do not hold up to scrutiny. We conclude by discussing the substantial stakes in this debate, and the critical importance of recognizing the power of the Big Three matters and why it matters. * James Barr Ames Professor of Law, Economics, and Finance, and Director of the Program on Corporate Governance, Harvard Law School. ** Associate Professor, Boston University School of Law. This Article is the final, capstone part of a larger project on stewardship by index funds and other institutional investors. The three earlier parts that have already been published are Lucian A.
