After reviewing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 's (EEOC) Youth at Work website, I found it to be an outstanding website that would be an excellent training tool for teaching teenagers, older new hires, and managers about employee rights. Interpreting the federal laws that apply to employee rights and management responsibilitys is complicated. For teens, new to the workforce, understanding their rights and duties could be mind-boggling. However, this website explains all of the…

The first main character that we are exposed to named is Aaron and he is a solider that has just recently came to the states from Iraq. Aaron goes to a barbecue with friends and here is where the idea of Hyper Normalization begins. The other people at the barbecue are regular citizens not soldiers unlike Aaron.

Republican members of Congress, who has slowly been gaining majority, were against the leftist views portrayed in several productions produced by the Federal Theater Project. This led to an investigation of the Federal Theater Project by Republican Congress member Martin Dies. Dies was the head of the House of Un-American Activities Committee.

In section 4 from the Vagrancy Law, we see that anyone, not just former slaves, who “militate against good morals” shall be punished. And in the Civil Rights of Freedmen, we see that it was illegal for any former slave “to intermarry with any…

occurs simply as a result of wanting to become rich for some reason or another. Silas states, “A better day is—is coming. Never lose sight of the Tennessee Land! Be wary. There is wealth stored up for you there—wealth that is boundless!” (page 71).

5. Focus on the short-term needs. Be able to talk and address long-term but the short-term is what will likely be addressed first. 6. If you cannot get to Washington, DC (and many cannot) be aware that all members of Congress (both House and Senate) have offices back in the states. Meet with the staff in the district offices. The local staff is not typically involved in legislation, as they are more often involved in service for the constituents. However, they are the best way to get a…

The California Fair Pay Act (SB358) is designed to provide strength to the state of California’s equal pay laws. It is supposed to accomplish this by eliminating loopholes that may prevent the effective enforcement of the law and by empowering employees with the ability to discuss pay rates without fear of workplace retaliation.
