Workplace disputes, whether domestic or international, can be resolved peacefully and effectively by the use of mediation, a method that is growing in importance and popularity. Its many benefits include the cost-effectiveness of the process, both in execution costs and in the savings attributed to the long-term effects of cementing and improving productive relationships between and among workers and management. Among the benefits of resolving disputes through mediation are the following: 1. Mediation provides confidentiality. 2. Mediation focuses on mutuality of interests. 3. Mediation is cost-effective. 4. Mediation results in an agreement that is enforceable in a court of law. Mediation is a useful tool for managers, whether dealing with employees who have entered into legal action a...

Your recent article about employees who have not been paid wages, though interesting as far as it went, left me up in the air. What does it mean when claims are filed with the Utah Labor Commission? Is the state going to pay those wages and then take legal action against the deadbeat employer? If not, what meaning is there to the $10,000 limit? What does an award, with or without penalties, mean? Do wage claims have priority over other debt of these deadbeats? I could go on and on. We readers are not getting the full picture. Please fill it in for us.
SOMERVILLE The woman who was to have led the prosecution team in the manslaughter retrial of former New Jersey Nets star Jayson Williams has been replaced and is no longer with the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office. Katharine Errickson, an assistant prosecutor who was the second member of the team during the first trial four years ago, is considering legal action against her former employer, according to a published report.
A federal judge has thrown out a racial-discrimination suit filed by a longtime Union Pacific Railroad employee against his employer, ruling the worker failed to take legal action in a timely manner. In a ruling issued last week, U.S. District Judge David Sam said Ranee Tademy missed several legal deadlines, including not filing suit within 90 days of receiving notice of right to sue through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and not filing a formal charge of discrimination until January 2004 after almost a decade of alleged harassing conduct.
In a brief talk at a recent civil rights rally, Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager said that whatever their race, economic status or sexual orientation all citizens deserve equal treatment under the law. Her remarks were more obvious than controversial. Equal treatment is a widely accepted American principle or should be. Still, her talk managed to stir up some debate. At issue is the setting: a gay pride rally in which she shared the podium in Madison with plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the state. In the legal action, six state workers and their lesbian partners accuse their employer of discrimination for not providing partners benefits that spouses of married, heterosexual employees get.
As we all know, employees frequently send personal e-mail from employer e-mail accounts and other accounts accessed through their employer's Internet. This practice continues despite the prevalence of company policies that restrict computer use to business purposes. E-mail has also become the medium of choice for attorney-client communication. Because of its low cost, speed and efficiency, important facts and documents can be transmitted for free and in an instant.

The U.S. Supreme Court once again passed up the chance to define the privacy interest employees enjoy in the workplace, but legal experts say the Court's recent ruling in NASA v. Nelson still provides a lesson for employers and workers alike. To put it simply: if an employer acts reasonably, it'll likely prevail against a privacy challenge brought by an employee.
