LAW 531 Discussion

Q.1 The questions to which I would like comment are, 1.  “Who, if anyone, do you think did the right thing, and why?”   2.  “Do you think the government (NLRB or another) should have intervened and forced an agreement?”

Questions. 2:  Given your experience and knowledge gained, and in light of the 1996 California legislative action to prohibit state-sponsored programs, do you believe there have been positive benefits in Affirmative Action programs?  Do you believe they should continue?  Please feel free to give examples of successful implementations or not-so-successful examples, and be willing to qualify and explain your answer by geography or other factors.  Often your answer may be couched in the context of whether your firm would implement a voluntary program, and the reasons why.

Q.3: How do government regulatory agencies and laws impact business organizations? Choose one or two specific governmental regulatory requirements, and explain what affects they have on business organizations. (Those applicable to your industry are preferable.)

Determine methods for managing the legal risks and compliance issues that arise because of these requirements
