The appellant, Pete Sanders (hereinafter “Sanders”) first encountered all his trouble when he felt he was unfairly terminated from his position as an assistant manager with Allen Federal Savings Bank. After his bank received nearly 15 billion dollars from the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, they decided to terminate Sanders in 2012 in order to expedite company profit. After this abrupt, unforeseen termination Sanders managed to scrape by with a variety of jobs with different financial firms and business. However, after about two years of the constant struggle of searching for job after job, Sanders has since become unemployed dating back to October 2014. Being terminated from the bank and the subsequent unemployment resulted in Sanders feeling angry and depressed. To deal with these emotions Sanders entered an online chat room on March 2, 2015, that was typically used by bankers, stockbrokers, and other financial businessmen.

  • Upton Sinclair's Work Conditions

    1143 Words  | 3 Pages

    Employment is hard to find and hard to keep and a job isn’t always what one hoped for. Sometimes jobs do not sufficiently support our lifestyles, and all too frequently we’re convinced that our boss’s real job is to make us miserable. However, every now and then there are reprieves such as company holiday parties or bonuses, raises, promotions and even a half hour or hour to eat lunch that allows escape from monotonous workloads. Aside from our complaints, employment today for majority of American’s isn’t totally dreadful, and there always lies opportunity for promotion. American’s did not always experience this reality in their work places though, and not long past are days of abysmal and disgusting work conditions. In 1906 Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” was published. His novel drastically transformed the way Americans felt about the unmitigated power corporations wielded in the ‘free’ market economy that was heavily propagandized at the turn of the century. Corporations do not have the same unscrupulous practices today because of actions taken by former President Theodore Roosevelt who felt deeply impacted by Sinclair’s famous novel. Back in early 1900’s in the meatpacking plants of Chicago the incarnation of greed ruled over the working man and dictated his role as a simple cog within an enormous insatiable industrial machine. Executives of the 1900’s meatpacking industry in Chicago, IL, conspired to work men to death, obliterate worker’s unions and lie to American citizens about what they were actually consuming in order to simply acquire more money.

  • Wage Theft in the Fast Food Industry

    Imagine having to clock out mid-shift to prevent getting paid overtime, but not leaving for another hour or two. Having to punch out for break but work through it, or having a paid vacation taken away as if it never existed? Situations relative to these are reality and are classified as wage theft, defined by the wage theft website as “a variety of infractions that occur when workers do not receive their legally or contractually promised wages” (Wage Theft). The public is generally uneducated of the concept of wage theft and the effects it has on our society, let alone what can be done about it. The Wage Theft Prevention Act, an act established in 2011 by the state of New York, provides laws protecting working citizens, and is an act that should be effective nationwide. As a country, we support the terms “freedom”, “equality”, and “rights”; however, we need to focus on the working citizens of the United States and ensure equal rights for everyone.

  • Success 1970's

    1233 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout the 1970s, the ability of any one person to work hard enough to transcend social stratification in the United States became difficult due to various domestic challenges. The reality Americans begun to see during the ‘70s was bleak, this being contributed in great part to ecopolitical events. In the year 1974, a recession begun that has continued to affect the United States economy to this very day. Harold Meyerson, a writer and journalist for the Washington Post and The American Prospect in the article “The 40-Year Slump” notes “The middle-income jobs of the nation’s postwar boom years have disproportionately vanished. Low-wage jobs have disproportionately burgeoned. Employment has become less secure. Benefits have been cut. The dictionary definition of “layoff” has changed, from denoting a temporary severance from one’s job to denoting a permanent severance” (1). It is important to consider this point because it really lays the foundation of the 1970’s; one of little hope, and one shaken by what became known as the 1973-1975 Recession. This recession affected practically every person living in the U.S, and changed the perception of the workplace. Through low-economic growth and high inflation, the economic term “stagflation” came about, and negatively influenced the success of countless Americans. Alejandro Reuss, co-editor for the magazine Dollars & Sense in the article “That ‘70s Crises” asserts "The economy seemed trapped in the new nightmare of “stagflation,” so called because it combined low economic growth and high unemployment (“stagnation”) with high rates of inflation” (1). This is a valuable point to consider, as this term is still used to this day, and has affected all aspects of life for many Americans. Mic...

    Originally, the trial court claimed that Ms. Fecke’s ability to make money in the future, or her future earnings, was affected. However, the appellate court ruled that it was in fact her future earning capacity that was affected. This was an important distinction as Ms. Fecke was an unemployed college student, and in most cases future earnings is based on what profession the plaintiff was originally in, and how that would affect their earnings in that field. This case sets a precedent for college students without a current job, as all damages in this context will deal with loss of future earning capacity rather than loss of future
