Union Awareness
by Skillsoft
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2004, 12.5 percent of wage and salary workers were union members--down from 12.9 percent in 2003. Why is membership declining? Perhaps the growing number of laws in place to protect workers prevents the necessity of unions, or perhaps the nature of the work itself has changed. Regardless of the decline, workers still have the legal right to form unions, and you need a basic understanding of workers' rights, and what rights you have as an employer. It's important to understand why employees form unions, and how best to deal with them in your workplace. SkillSoft's Legal Compliance courses are developed and maintained with subject matter support provided by the Labor, Employment, and Employee Benefits Law Group of the law firm of Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green PA.Audience: Managers and supervisorsObjectives: The Legal Base of Labor Unions identify the main characteristics of labor unions. identify good practices for handling the formation of a union in the workplace. recognize the benefits of good practices when union formation activities occur in the workplace. recognize acceptable employer behavior under labor union laws. identify an employer's obligations to employees under labor union laws. identify the characteristics of a bargaining unit. recognize the clauses in a Collective Bargaining Agreement. recognize the positions, strategies, and subjects of collective bargaining.Employers and the NLRB identify the practices employers can use to prevent union formation in the workplace. recognize the benefits of avoiding union formation in the workplace. match union organizing tactics with their uses. sequence the steps involved in the union recognition process. sequence the process of conducting a union election. recognize examples of how an employer may legally respond to union activity. recognize the role of the NLRB in preventing unfair labor practices. determine how an organization can comply with the NLRA in a given scenario.

Interviewing and Hiring Practices
by Skillsoft
This course is intended to teach learners how to exercise sound judgment in the hiring and interviewing process.

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)
by Skillsoft
The GHS, an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, is a system aiming to standardize and harmonize the classification and labeling of chemicals. Although many countries follow regulatory systems for the safe handing and transport of chemicals through labels and safety data sheets, there is no standard approach. So while the formats are similar in different countries, the differences are significant enough to warrant different labeling and safety data sheets for the same product in different markets. With the gradual implementation of the GHS worldwide, countries have consistent and appropriate information on the chemicals they import or produce, and the infrastructure to control chemical exposures and protect people and the environment can be established in a comprehensive manner. This course introduces the GHS and explains how hazards are classified and communicated through the use of labels and safety data sheets.Audience: All employeesObjectives: The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) identify the goals of the GHS describe how the GHS will be implemented categorize physical, health, and environmental hazards interpret hazard information in a GHS label identify the standard label elements describe how transport labels differ from standard GHS labels describe key concepts related to safety data sheets Duration: 0.5 ...
