STATEMENT OF FACTS: Sheila White interviewed with Marvin Brown and obtained a job as a “track laborer” with Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company. Shortly after her hire date, however, she assumed forklift operator duties. This new assignment still fell under the “track laborer” position description, and White occasionally performed those duties although her primary responsibility was operating the forklift. Three months into her new job, White complained to the company that her immediate supervisor was sexually harassing her on the job. He was temporarily suspended and required to attend sexual harassment training. White was then informed that she was being reassigned to track labor duties only. White filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claiming that the job reassignment was in retaliation for her sexual harassment complaint.…
Until 1990, no female firefighters had ever served in the City of Providence Fire Department. In January, 1992, O'Rourke and six other women who had passed a written examination were admitted to the City's firefighter six-month training program, along with 77 male trainees. All through the fire academy, as well as her first several years working as a fire fighter, O’Rourke was slandered and sexually harassed. On July 10, 1995, O'Rourke filed a discrimination charge with the Rhode Island Commission of Human Rights and with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and received notice of right to sue. O'Rourke also filed a federal court complaint against the City on June 30, 1995, and an amended complaint on July 17, 1995. O'Rourke introduced evidence of harassment spanning the entire duration of her employment at the fire department from 1992 to 1994 including her time spent in training in 1992, the period in which she worked in the Chief's office later that year, her year-long stay at Engine 5 in 1993, and finally, her seven months at Engine 13 in 1994.…
No, I do not believe Fortin was the victim of antiunion discrimination by her employer. I believe that the employer should be allowed to punish Fortin for the work that was underperformed and not met to the expected standard. I believe that because this overlapped with Fortin’s involvement with the union events, this made her not have as much focus as should have on her job. Certain jobs require you to have more focus on solely the job but Fortin did not appear to focus exclusively on just her job she was focused on union actions as well. I believe too much was focused on her union attitude and spirit rather than just her job and the performance.…

Lisa Benton felt like she was put behind the eight-ball from the start in reference to her relationship with her bosses, Deborah Linton and Ron Scoville. According to a research article, “Are Your Subordinates Setting You Up to Fail?” impressions and expectations made in the first five days are very predictive to what the working relationship will look like for the following weeks and even months to come. In Benton’s case, this seems to have happened in the first five minutes. After initial meetings with Linton and Scoville, they both mentioned that they were not fond or impressed by Harvard MBAs, and Benton left the meetings feeling like they were disinterested in her.…

I have recently completed my research work based on American Dream. The title of the research is “Evolution of American Dream: A Comparative Analysis of Fitzgerald, Thompson and Walls”. This study area deals with American Dream notion of Americans over eighty five years’ time span; starting from 1920 and ending in early 21st Century. I would admit this that while studying American history I was startled to know about problems of American society in this time period. It was bewildering journey for me to find out America as a nation. For common young Pakistani, America symbolizes as a perfect land of opportunities, where rags to riches could be accomplished. However while reading American history it was not artistically that perfect land and beautiful as once I imagined.…
Everything is possible. Charles F. Kettering said that “Nothing ever built to touch the skies unless some man dreamed that it should, some man believed that it could, and some man willed that it must.” Everything is possible in each of our lives; we simply have to sense it, see it and act upon it. After all, where would we be without men like Thomas Edison who believed there could be light, saw the vision in his mind and acted upon everything that was possible for him? Emily Dickinson phrased it best in her classic ode “Touch the Skies:”…
