		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no exaggeration to say that workplace violence is any employer&#8217;s worst nightmare, whether or not there&#8217;s resulting litigation. Given today&#8217;s economy, the risk of the nightmare has increased.

One of the latest tragedies has occurred at Ohio State University. A probationary maintenance employee who had been told he would be fired on March 13 (this coming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CEOs are making lots of news with emails. Yesterday, I posted about the Michelle Obama-Cheeta email forwarded by a Nashville CEO. Today&#8217;s post is about a CEO&#8217;s email to employees that&#8217;s not deemed offensive in the way the Obama-Cheeta email was, but offensive nonetheless.

The CEO of the financially troubled Tribune Co. sent a list of 119 words and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a growing body of evidence that layoffs &#8212; or even &#8220;persistent perceived job insecurity&#8221; &#8212; can adversely affect employee health and life expectancy. A recent New York Times article details the travails of laid-off steelworkers in New York. If an employee has a heart attack and dies after being laid off, is the employer liable?

		<description><![CDATA[Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, it&#8217;s unlawful to discriminate on the basis of sex or gender. So, an employer can&#8217;t give better jobs to men, use sexual stereotypes to make job decisions, etc. Can an employer use women instead of men to, let&#8217;s say, deal with other women because women do that better than men?

		<description><![CDATA[The current recession has already made permanent changes in the private sector&#8217;s employer-employee relations. Its now beginning to make those changes in the public or government sector. The private sector overreacted by laying off hundreds of thousands of employees but has now discovered that it can operate with fewer employees. The government at all levels is out of [...]]]></description>
