MORRISTOWN, Tenn., Sept. 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The 700 workers at the Koch Foods poultry processing plant now have a voice on the job with the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1995. Workers voted overwhelmingly in favor of union representation during the vote on Friday, Sept. 9, with 465 yes votes, 18 no, 12 voided ballots and 10 challenged by the Labor Board. This is victory for the Koch Foods workers, but also the entire Morristown community. Workers reached out and gathered support from area churches, congregations and other community groups. The company agreed to remain neutral throughout the union campaign -- which allowed for workers to vote in an environment free from intimidation or harassment.

The postwar social contract was grounded in New Deal legislation that established a minimum wage, other wage and hour regulations, and labor laws that allowed workers to build the bargaining power needed to enforce wage-determination norms and principles in negotiating with large corporations. Unions will need to draw on new sources of power-as some are doing by building coalitions with other community groups advocating for worker's rights and living wages; negotiating for training, development funds, and job ladders (as is happening in some parts of the health-care and hospitality industries); and building networks that provide benefits, job referrals, and wage information to workers and contractors not attached to a single firm (as is being done by a new media workers' union in New Y...

The Timken Company, based in Canton, Ohio, makes steel and other industrial products, and last year it was the proud recipient of a visit by his eminence, George W. Bush. The prez had traveled to Ohio to hype the value of the tax giveaways he's passed for the rich. He went to Canton to claim that they would trickle-down to create jobs for middle-class America, and he needed a good visual for his televised speech. Timken's factory was the perfect made-for-TV backdrop. A crowd of hard-hatted, blue-collar workers was dutifully assembled. The bossman, Tim Timken himself, was on stage beaming with pride at George's every sentence. Tim has long been a major financial backer of both Bush presidents. But in May--just months after George's highly-publicized rooster strut--Tim announced that he w...

It's there that you can get customized training," [Mark Arend] said. "All of a sudden, that labor pool is much more attractive. That's an important factor. "The people working, causing that number to be low, are underemployed," said Arend. They're in call centers, or flipping burgers. Get that person into classes at a community college, Arend said, and then you're talking serious income when that worker can find a job at Idaho's next Micron. While lawmakers fidgeted and fussed, the gossip on all floors was about [Dirk Kempthorne], who wasn't even in the state. As he gussies up his resume in advance of his May 4 hearing before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Kempthorne will have to do some political calculus of his own. Just how to please the U.S. Senate, when Democr...

Sure, Charles Holt would rather be playing golf on a breezy afternoon instead of standing on a street corner in downtown Oklahoma City waiting for strangers to ask him questions. But I wouldn't get to meet so many interesting people, the part- time Community Service Corps worker said. This is a great job that provides a service to people who need it. And that's why we're here. It's just that simple; we love it.

DID A no-show worker for Norfolk's Community Services Board have incriminating photos of higher-ups? That's a question I keep asking, only half-jokingly, as each new revelation comes out in the case of Jill McGlone. She's the "employee" - if you can call her that - who received 12 years of paychecks for staying away from the job.
