Different Countries, Adjoining Cubicles He estimates that as many as 90% of today's American white-collar and clerical jobs could be outsourced over the next 10 to 15 years. That's why the pressure will be on American and European clerical and other lower-level white-collar workers to retrain themselves. ''You can't get a clerical person in Dublin now,'' says Hugh Evans, head of finance and performance management for Deloitte Consulting in Britain. www.businessweek.com /2000/00_35/b3696050.htm

Case Law in Germany - Decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court - Equal Employment Opportunities A supervisor of a cake factory was fined for having employed women to wrap cakes at night, which was considered a violation of a statute prohibiting the employment of women as blue-collar workers at night. According to Federal Government statistics in 1999, 55% of mothers of children from 3-6 and 75% of mothers of children from 10-18 respectively were a single parent. The Constitutional Court ruled that the law on revenue tax contravened the basic law on equality between men and women and the protection of the family. www.ilo.org /public/english/employment/gems/eeo/law/germany/cl_fcc.htm   (337 words)

Top 100 Corporate Criminals of the Decade The 100 corporate criminals fell into 14 categories of crime: Environmental (38), antitrust (20), fraud (13), campaign finance (7), food and drug (6), financial crimes (4), false statements (3), illegal exports (3), illegal boycott (1), worker death (1), bribery (1), obstruction of justice (1) public corruption (1), and tax evasion (1). The fine is the largest criminal fine for a food injury case in the history of the Food and Drug Administration and the first such criminal conviction obtained in the wake of a large-scale pathogenic outbreak. The criminal investigation began in July 1992, when Dave Horan, a former Louisiana-Pacific supervisor at its Montrose, Colorado facility, filed a lawsuit against the company alleging that he had been fired because he refused to tamper with the Montrose mill's pollution monitoring equipment. www.informationclearinghouse.info /article3676.htm   (337 words)

A strawberry distributor and its president pled guilty to crimes in connection with the March 1997 hepatitis outbreak that contaminated 198 school children and teachers in Michigan, Maine and Wisconsin.

Chapter 9, Birth of Parasitical Elites in America That situation presented a perfect combination for the parasitical-elite class: White-collar-hoax political entrepreneurs could line their pockets with lavish government subsidies, and the Congressmen handing out those subsidies could garner self-glory and justify their jobs by proclaiming how beneficial they were to the American people by financing America's first transcontinental railroad. While the white-collar-hoax political entrepreneurs were still trying to figure out how to get more subsidies from the federal government, Hill was turning his attention to world business. Thus, a deception was woven by that parasitical-elite class through claiming only the government could finance an undertaking as large and expensive as building a transcontinental railroad. www.neo-tech.com /zonpower_xz/chapter9.html   (464 words)

[A-List] US imperialism: dollar hegemony Now that the US economy is trapped in a prospect of decade-long slow growth with a pending onslaught of deflation, and the hollowing-out of blue-collar manufacturing and white-collar high-tech sectors, Greenspan has told Congress that the threat of deflation remains "remote" and that thinking jobs are better that doing jobs. G7 finance ministers, in concert with US Treasury Secretary John Snow, raised doubt about Washington's strong-dollar policy. Dollar hegemony allowed the United States to levy a tax on the rest of the world for using the dollar, a fiat currency, as the reserve currency for world trade. lists.econ.utah.edu /pipermail/a-list/2003-August/027326.html   (6244 words)

MARXIAN ECONOMICS In Austria, Karl Renner became Chancellor (later President), while Otto Bauer served as secretary of state for foreign affairs (their minister of finance was, once again, Joseph Schumpeter, on whose unlucky shoulders the blame for the ensuing hyperinflation was placed). During World War I, Renner broke with the left wing of the Austrian Social Democrats (Bauer's group), and attempted a re-orientation of Maxian thought to account for the rise of whie-collar workers and the growth of the State. Hilferding went on to serve as Minister of Finance in two SPD governments in the 1920s. cepa.newschool.edu /het/schools/marxian.htm   (2381 words)

Finance Although only 300,000 of Amicus's 1 million members could be described as white collar, it is considered a more highly skilled union than the TGWU. But whatever the positive gloss being put on the GPMU's demise, it is a sad truth that the British printing industry that once had over a dozen trade unions representing its workers, can nowadays no longer sustain even one. An awful lot is resting on a yes vote from grassroots members, who at the last biennial conference only voted by quite a narrow margin for a contentious cuts package and only 'noted' the union executive's continuing talks with merger partners. www.dotprint.com /fbiz/gpmu_03.htm   (2381 words)

Second Industrial Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This period is also notable for an expanding number of white collar workers and increasing enrollment in socialist trade unions. The beginnings of wars offer a convenient milestone, since they have an effect on the capital needed to finance the useful application of new inventions. This period, akin to the First Industrial Revolution was marked by a significant number of transient urban workers engaged in industrial labour (or the pursuit thereof), relatively common unemployment, low wages, and common prostitution due to the lack of other means of income. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Second_Industrial_Revolution   (1173 words)

Ex-WorldCom CFO Gets 5-Year Term NEW YORK, Aug. 11 -- A federal judge Thursday sentenced former WorldCom Inc. finance chief Scott D. Sullivan to five years in prison for helping to direct an $11 billion accounting fraud that drove the telecommunications giant into the nation's largest bankruptcy. Earlier, Nathan presented a study indicating that half of the nation's white-collar criminals receive probation rather than prison time. In a brief statement before the judge delivered the sentence, Sullivan implored her to take into account his wife's severe diabetic condition, which he said had prompted nine emergency admissions to the hospital this year. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/11/AR2005081100788.html?nav=rss_technology   (994 words)

EH.Net Encyclopedia: Works Progress Administration The WPA required the states to provide some of their own resources to finance projects but a specific match was never stipulated -- a fact that would later become a source of contentious debate. These white-collar programs did not escape criticism and the term “boondoggling” was added to the English language to describe government projects of dubious merit. All WPA administrators, whether assigned to Washington or to the agency’s state and local district offices, were employees of the federal government and all WPA workers’ wages were distributed directly from the U.S. Treasury (Kurzman 1974, p. eh.net /encyclopedia/article/couch.works.progress.administration   (1920 words)

Untitled Morgenthau say he is a leader in establishing more aggressive policing of global finance, beginning in 1989 with his investigation of the multibillion-dollar international fraud case involving the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. Morgenthau and his supporters say the case is nothing more than an adaptation of existing law that represents how prosecutors will have to respond to modern white-collar crime. Morgenthau has alleged that the Castros stole millions from their depositors to prop up other businesses in Venezuela and misled depositors into believing their money was protected under American banking laws while they were actually losing millions in risky options trading. www.csun.edu /CommunicationStudies/ben/news/cia/ven/970213.thor.html   (1269 words)
