Perhaps so. Maybe there are finally some people in office more concerned about accomplishing something than with whether it will put their job in jeopardy.

You mean like the health care bill?

Bigdogg does have a decent point there despite him being (IMO) wrong about the SB5 thing.

That depends. A stipulation from QCB's post was that what was done would be an "accomplishmen," so the entire point hinges on whether or not you think that the HCR Bill was such.

Not wrong on its face, by any stretch, and actually parallels better than some would like to admit. The projected outcome would be the crux of the difference, probably.

He'd have a point if the health care bill actually reformed health care and saved money. It does neither.

In terms of motives, perhaps so. In terms of accomplishing anything, also the same. Neither is currently the law.

My point was that depending on who you talk to the HCR could be anything from the greatest bill ever to a bill spawned from Satan himself. This is similar to SB5. That's all I was trying to say.

I agree, then.

As for that USA Today "poll" -- I'm always suspicious of "polls" which don't give you details of how they were conducted and WHO answered the question. Saying it was a poll of 1,000 adults says NOTHING. If you pick 1,000 people from New York City, you'll get a very different result than people from Columbus. I give USA Today a solid "F" for its methodology and transparency in polling.

As a result, I also give this poll zero credibility.

However, the single largest weapon against unscrupulous owners and those wishing to violate employee's safety/health/welfare is the i-phone with it's little tiny camera. No one can get away with sweatshop/illegal employment practices anymore, unless they want to be exposed on the internet and to the myriad of gubmint agencies. This little tool wasn't around 90 years ago when unions were in their infancy, but it' impact today is most profound.

You also forget that many employers ban the use of cell phones on company property.

So you break that rule if something egregious is happening. Yes it'd give them a reason to fire you but if you only do it when something really wrong is going on you'll have the evidence to prove it in court.

I think you may be protected by whistleblower laws to an extent

Eh, possibly, I suppose. The water might be a little murky there, though.

Yeah, unless there is intellectual property involved that they don't want let out I can't imagine why a company wouldn't allow a cell phone.

A friend works at Chase in their home loans building at Easton and it is a fireable offense to have your cell phone out

That involves privacy and potential identity theft, etc.

Imma be staying at the Hilton at Easton Saturday. Hopefully I don't get shot in that ghetto. :)

In reality, many companies ban the use of cell phones for two reasons:

When they are tied up on their phones their productivity is very low, as in zilch.

If they use the phone while on the job (factory floor) there is a potential safety hazard because they may not be able to focus on their immediate surroundings.

The camera issue is one which is already covered by many companies. They forbid taking unauthorized photos of company processes.

Walked around a bit at night. Was not reminiscent of anything I'd consider a ghetto.
