schooling learning about how to safely create lighted spaces and outlets for electrical components and usage. Electricians must be certified and educated in the safety and techniques of electricity. Electricity was first tested by Benjamin Franklin with his famous kite and lighting experiment (http://www.ushistory.org/franklin/info/kite.htm). Before the kite experiment, he had a lightning rod setup on the top of his house for electrical experimentations. (http://www.ushistory.org/franklin/info/kite.htm)
have been an electrician in the Navy, what field or occupation should I look at next? Nikola Tesla once said “We crave for new sensations but soon become indifferent to them” (648). But do we really become indifferent? Should I stay in the electrical field or start down a new career path, and see where it takes me. What is required to become an electrician outside the military? To start with, electricians have to learn and possess a vast amount of knowledge. I was astonished that a
Around 30 to 50 workers in every 100, 000 are killed on the job every year. Many others suffer non-fatal loss of limbs from electrical burns and mechanical trauma. That's more than twice the fatality rate of police officers and firemen. I don’t really need to point this one out but I could get shocked to death from grabbing
obstacles. They are due to their biological status and work’s inequality. Yet, construction workers have a lot rights whatever their sex or biological status is. This paper will discuss the women in construction, the rights of construction workers as well as their syndicates. First of all, the construction industry reflects a male-dominated industry. In fact, catalyst.org says, “ In 2015, 11.6% of construction workers in Canada are women.” Christopher Nardi, a journalist for the Journal of Montreal maintains
Becoming an electrician is a great way to enter a stable career.

Representing Workers of America Labor unions are legal representatives of workers in the United States. They mainly bargain with employers for higher wages, benefits, and better working conditions. However, there is a major controversy on whether labor unions should even exist. Some people are for labor unions because they benefit much from one. Others view unions as selfish organizations. The United States labor force wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for unions fighting for workers rights. In the

Arguments can be made out of just about anything. An argument has two sides, and conveying an opinion is one of those two sides. Arguments sort out the views of others and the support of those arguments represented by those people from past events. These events let others show their argument about what will happen in the future, and of how the future carries on today. Newspaper articles can be arguments, and laws being passed in Congress have a form of argument associated with them. There are many
Organized labor has seen a long and ever changing history in the United States. What began as minimal organized labor movement catapulted into astronomical union membership rates as the nation grew and developed. The intense power unions possessed only lasted so long and in the years since 1970, union membership in the United States has collapsed. This paper will examine the most significant reasons for the decline in membership. In brief, organizational redesigns, the development of technology and
each other since the late 1800s, and their relationship formalized into partnerships since the late 1970s. However, the conditions in the United States in the early 1980s-the education crisis in public schools, the low skill level of entry-level workers, and the demands of an evolving economy-accelerated the development of these partnerships. "Between 1983-1984 and 1987-88, the number of business/education partnerships rose from 42,200 to 140,800" (Grobe et al. 1993, p. 4). As they expanded in number
