With the number of workers' rights violations on the rise, it's high time for us to force enterprises to take up their social obligations. But we are short of standards for enterprises to follow.

Xi Jianguo

Thirty-eight percent of workers said they feel sick days are equivalent to vacation days. While the definition of a sick day has evolved with more employers including mental health and special circumstances in the description, workers need to be respectful of company policies and their responsibilities as an employee.

Rosemary Haefner

I don't ever talk about it, ... There are some Christians (co-workers) who argue I'm doing something bad, but this (lawsuit) is pro-liberty, pro-equality. The government is required to stay out of the religion business.

Michael Newdow

Relief workers in New Orleans, the money they're paid is burning a hole in their pocket and they're going to spend it.

Greg Albrecht

Saying his workers would subsidize enhanced payments for police and fire, I think that is very false.

Fred Leblanc

Investment advice is a very important component of good retirement policy, ... But it is vitally important that employees have a wide range of investment options, as well as full disclosure about the choices they have so they can make good investment decisions. This bill fails to provide workers enough choice or enough information.

Benjamin Cardin

If (workers) lose their jobs when the economy is strong, they're more likely to say 'I can go across the street and make more money than I did at the other (place), let's not live in the past. Let's look ahead.

Michael Delikat

If they had been part of our union, they might not be in the position they are in today. They did not have company-wide leverage in the discussions about their future. USW workers are protected because we have company-wide leverage. It's the breadth of our representation throughout the company that gives us more strategic bargaining leverage.

Marco Trbovich

We've lost all of our workers. They're afraid to come in now, and they don't want to work. I still think we can finish the process, probably with each of the leading candidates looking at each ballot and making a decision we can all live with.

Rosemond Pradel

We set things up where nothing would be picked because we just didn't know what would happen. Our feeling is that it's important that our workers have their day. So, we just said we're not going to pack.

Steve O'brien

DOE must expeditiously review records to determine which groups of workers who labored to make and test this country's huge nuclear arsenal were put at risk.

Arjun Makhijani

From Lima, Ohio, to Lima, Peru, this trade agreement will mean growth and opportunity for workers, farmers, and business.

Dan Christman

Workers generally, and working families generally, are hit by the same huge increase in costs that's going to face them all winter.

Jack Harris

Ninety-five percent of the people ? they're workers. They pay taxes like everybody else.

Angel Sanchez

We really can be a strong voice and make a big impact in these workers' lives.

Christina Lee

[IBM's strength is in catering to large corporate customers.] But IBM is not focused on really small companies - with, say, 50 workers or less - or on individuals, ... It's not a consumer company.

Stephen Ward

This is a clear message from the workers to the company to listen to them and be honest about the future.

Paul Kenny

There are no reports of civilian casualties. The rebels assured us that civilians, refugees and aid workers would not be targeted.

Matthew Conway

Management, board members and staff need to work together. There is also need for ZBH to streamline its workforce. Workers should also be adequately rewarded so that they are motivated.

Cde Mugabe

This bodes well for us as a mecca for high-tech workers.

William Lewis

It's all going to come down to what type of chemistry is amongst those players works the best. We have players that are good in the air, good distributors, hard workers and a couple that are all three.

Julie Orlowski

I couldn't be more pleased that these girls in particular were picked. They are such hard workers and the judges couldn't have picked three better.

Tamera Westervelt

We have been talking about Asia as a completely successful region. What we are saying is that behind that there is another reality. There is a group of workers whose living standards have increased tremendously. But you have a second group who have not really benefited.

Jesus Felipe

We should only issue work-related visas if we really need them. There are 2.5 million native born American workers in the math and computer field who are currently out of work. It begs the question whether we truly need foreign workers.

Caroline Espinosa

We try to get workers to think more systematically. That means creating some workers' organizations that have power and can negotiate some changes.

Jose Oliva

We will sign the deal this afternoon. Workers are satisfied and happy.

Idelfonso Ciprian

Our people have been transformed from rice and slash-and-burn farmers into workers and owners of the family rubber plantation.

Hun Sen

Workers at these plants have long needed some type of enforceable regulation and rule. It's kind of amazing that it's the year 2006, and they're just starting to get that.

Tom Carpenter

While they may not have seen a person like myself in a FEMA shirt, they may have seen other disaster workers and again in the very beginning the volunteer agencies were providing support and that is the way the system is designed.

Gene Romano

We don't want to panic the public, ... We need to let the public know what to do if it (an outbreak) occurs. Get vaccinated. Practice good hygiene measures, such as hand washing with soap. Don't go to work if you're sick because you could spread the virus to other workers.

Gregory Gray

How will healthcare workers come to work?

Mike Osterholm

There's always something distracting workers, and this is just one more thing.

James Pedderson

There are workers out there for the positions. On average, we have 850-1,200 job seekers coming through our doors on a weekly basis.

Sam Marte

It's very important to keep in touch with co-workers as a source of social interaction.

Louise Piazza

I believe local government workers have been singled out for second class treatment because they are mostly women.

Dave Prentis

Workers' compensation costs are increasing at an alarming rate. As a result, Gov. Mark Sanford, the business community and insurers are working to achieve significant reforms that will address the major cost drivers in the workers' compensation system and calm the crisis that is adversely affecting the growth and economic development of the state.

Robert Herlong

They just do not want anybody from organized labor to take a high-profile position - to have a pedestal to speak from about the wrongs that workers face across Virginia and across the country.

George Waksmunski

We're glad that the percentage is lower than the prior year. But our main feeling is that when you have one out of every 10 workers having these significant declines in cholinesterase, you've got a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

Carol Dansereau

This was a recognition of the migrant workers' status, though not yet in a formal document.

Pu Xingzu

With hundreds of workers that we have in the building working daily almost around the clock, we'll have the building ready for public experience come the weekend of the 19.

Mike Fox

Companies have reached the limits of what they can do with their work forces. They have to hire more workers.

Nigel Gault

Right now, the government must devote its energy to the rescue and recovery of the affected region and we cannot thank or pay the brave rescue workers enough for the lives they've already saved, ... But we cannot ignore how the federal government has failed to protect the health and safety of its citizens.

Gary Ackerman

We did everything from getting the county nurse to visit the home to providing shampoos. School workers picked through their hair to make sure they were OK. Once detected with head lice the children were sent home until cleared. It became routine (for Stafford) to let her kids stay home.

Fred Nix

They can miss a lot of people such as migrant workers or transients that Maury County has been blessed with. These are some of the same people we often deal with.

Captain Nathan Johns

We do have an advantage in that we have a very unique skill set. They could not easily come in and replace us, so it gives us more leverage than a lot of workers.

Connie Kelliher

The thing that was most eye-opening to me, in my research, was the idea that the workers felt that they had a claim to the mill. That mentality is so far from how labor is treated today. I think it's very clear that you work for the corporation -- you don't have any claim to it.

Rory Kennedy

She's always been, if not our hardest, one of our hardest workers. ... She's got a great attitude and a great passion for the game.

Kevin Mcguff

We understand the rescue workers were able to stay in contact with the workers. They knew at least they were conscious and stable.

John Chamberlain

There's a huge redistribution away from workers to people who use immigrants. ... That's what people are arguing about.

George Borjas

What immigration really does is redistribute wealth away from workers toward employers.

George Borjas

At 5:30 the morning shift of commissary workers arrive to stock the coffee urns, bring in fresh food and prepare for the daylong job of feeding the humans.

Francis X. Clines

Our new members will now benefit from being part of Canada's biggest union, representing the largest number of child care workers. Child care workers deserve respect and recognition for the care they provide for our children.

Laura Moore

As we have maintained all along, no company senior official had any direct knowledge that undocumented workers were working in our stores.

Marty Heires

Half a million hardworking Americans, through no fault of their own, have been thrown out of work and, in many cases, have seen their jobs disappear altogether. We owe it to these workers to help them get back on their feet.

Mark Morial

Few people in these plans would recommend them to friends or co-workers. By focusing exclusively on the demand side, incentives give disproportionate responsibility on cost control to people with health problems or lower incomes.

Sara Collins

This is the first national agreement that we're aware of that's ever dealt with H-2 A workers or guest workers in this country.

Arturo Rodriguez

Can we buy support for liberal trade policy? If that is the criteria, [TAA] doesn't work. Does it help workers? A lot couldn't do without it.

Howard Rosen

If you put yourself in the shoes of Minnesota workers who are facing layoffs, or have seen their wages stagnate, the idea of the immigrant as the scapegoat, there's a certain resonance to that.

Larry Jacobs

Most employers and workers will be glad to see this happen.

David Watt

There's a new movement which sees corporate power, government power and police power as merging together to marginalize the rights of indigenous peoples, the powerless and workers. To participate in a police [protest] plan is almost an insult.

Don White

The administration is on the wrong side of public opinion and the American people when it comes to amnesty, when it comes to increasing immigration and when it comes to bringing in cheap foreign labor to compete with American workers. We need to stand up for the American worker.

Lamar Smith

With the way the labor market is, with unemployment so low and businesses in Tucson really having to go above and beyond what they usually do to attract potential workers, raising the minimum wage is not going to help that at all. I would say that the average business in Tucson is already paying above the minimum wage.

John Dougherty

This is becoming the pre-eminent issue of labor negotiations. Sikorsky is certainly making good money, and if they want good workers they will have to pay good benefits.

James Duffy

American workers receive the least amount of vacation days (12 on average) among all the countries that we surveyed. Yet we still, unbelievably, don't use up all of our days, with each American worker estimated to give back an average of 3 vacation days in 2005.

Kari Swartz

It's obviously a disappointment. It's smart that Ford has taken the initiative to slow down the line rather than produce too many. But it doesn't bode well for the workers.

Catherine Madden

We haven't had as many workers over there. We have a shortage of workers.

Roger Miller

From setting up a business, through dealing better with construction licenses, improving property registration, hiring new workers, to paying taxes, contract enforcement and bankruptcy and access to credit - Serbia and Montenegro covered the waterfront.

Michael Klein

Most of the victims were local labourers, including women workers with infants and small children.

Anil Kumar

Emergency personnel and disaster relief workers will do their best to be on scene quickly but not everyone can be reached right away. Basic services such as electricity, water, gas and telephone may be out for days.

Wayne Schipper

If you find that you have several disengaged workers, that might be symptomatic of your culture.

Renée Arrington

We are trying to perfect the routines. This is just a group of really hard workers. They are very dedicated and the really want to be here.

Katie Loman

By continuing our strong relationship, Unisys can provide Cal EDD with even more innovative, services-based solutions for secure business operations that help streamline the business of government and enhance services to California's workers.

Greg Baroni

Numerous plants will be shut down, thousands of workers will lose their jobs and communities will be devastated.

Roger Schagrin

The grant is essential to help Trane workers look to the future and begin the process of training for a new product line in their plant, ... This grant will keep the company competitive and increase the skills of talented employees.

Phil Bredesen

The whole year has been really good. The team is relatively young, and I have a really good freshman in Quinton Ryman. He's really charismatic, a very good kid and one of the hardest workers on the team. The whole coaching staff is pleased with him.

Derek Oney

There is also a stigma about what affordable housing constitutes. They're high-quality projects that can be integrated in the neighborhood, and they service people we depend on: child-care workers, teachers, health-care workers.

Annu Mangat

Police have arrested our 5,000 workers and supporters, We condemn it and we demand their immediate release.

Liaquat Baloch

With the large increase in workers in the extractive industries in our state, we've seen a dramatic increase in drug activity.

Attorney General Pat Crank

Ordinances that have been on the books for years, cities have gone back and expanded them to cover more workers at a higher wage level. The jury is in on these things. They help a modest number of workers.

Jen Kern

Everybody needs workers; they don't care who's working.

Sostenes Abalos

The thing that I'm the most interested in ... are the demographics shifts and the differences between the sort of 15- to 24-year-olds who are going to be the workers of tomorrow and the boomers.

Wendy Cukier

The workers are going to be more concerned than anyone else if there is informal activity taking place.

Joel Mills

The labor market is very tight. All employers are trying to find workers. But there is some ambience to working in a brand new store.

Kathy Baylis

Talking to the workers (at the lock) and from my own experiences with freaky stuff, I believe some of it.

Ray Henderson

For our union to succeed on behalf of our members, we must be part of a revitalized and dynamic labor movement that connects with a new generation of workers struggling in the 21st century's global economy.

Joe Hansen

Farm Bureau members commonly pay their guest-workers above minimum wage and provide other benefits, such as health insurance, workman's compensation, as well as travel to and from their home country.

Megan Wheaton

Field researchers, for example, have to carry many replacement batteries to power their equipment, which take up a lot of weight and space in the pack. The Suspended-Load Backpack could help anyone with a need for power on the go, including researchers, soldiers, disaster relief workers or someone just looking to keep a mobile phone charged during a long trek.

Lawrence Rome

It's our understanding that the Schindlers spent some time with Terri's body. They were free to spend as much time as they chose with her body. After they left, the hospice workers bathed Terri's body, and Mr. Schiavo and all of us went back in to spend some more time.

George Felos

We have been told that all but five Sudanese national NGO (non-governmental organization) workers have been released.

George Somerwill

We do not deceive like the NRM. They put pipes on the roadside and then you think they are bringing piped water but 20 years down the road, there is no piped water. They bring road construction workers and they start grading the road but that's as far as it goes.

Miria Kalule Obote

We feel it is important to provide this technology to maintain our position as the world's leading international financial centre. We are responding to the increasing time pressures faced by City workers by providing the technology for them to stay up to date.

Michael Snyder

I'm looking at 12 to 15 years to recover from this hurricane and I'm being optimistic about that. Local contractors badly need legal workers.

Dennis Pierce

We're assuming the worst, that there has been likely transmission to health care workers, that there has been transmission to families and that there has probably been transmission to other patients, and that it provides the link to St. John's Hospital that we didn't recognize last night.

Donald Low

It may be possible to push production higher for very brief periods, but the decision to do so must be made by individual companies, which will not compromise the safety of workers.

John Felmy

We have done everything to try and keep the workers well informed of what's going on. But we don't have all of the information right now, and I can understand how that can be frustrating.

Robert M. Hamilton

We share the outrage to the horrible disrespect that's been shown to these soldiers ... but this bill would make felons out of (cemetery) workers for carrying out their rights.

David Martino

These issues have basically been untouched in this area before. Why is this area the exception? We need to work on educating the public on the struggles of immigrants. We need employers to know what their workers go through just to get here. The plan is to unite everyone on this issue.

Wendy Vasquez

We'd like to influence them to let us have some say in what goes on and to convince them to hire local workers.

Doug Adams

It's very much noticeable at the site ? the worker's involvement. They're voicing their opinions all the time and that's exactly what we want.

Bill Threlkeld

City workers and visitors will be able to use wireless broadband to work more efficiently, staying in touch with their office via hand-held devices while on the move.

Michael Snyder

The substantial duties found confirm widespread dumping of these products. Dumping and subsidization of these products by India, Indonesia and China have harmed American producers and their workers.

Alan Price

It would be catastrophic. Right now, we have need for additional workers. The last figure I got was there was an immediate need for about 26,000 more people in the industry for the state.

Mike Hickman

The government has obviously taken the view that white-collar workers should be no less protected than cleaners and other blue-collar workers.

Stephen Miller

This is a governor who repealed the car tax, passed workers compensation reform and continues to pay down debt.

Adam Mendelsohn

Most of our workers are on the phone all day or need to be interacting with co-workers. We don't have a formal policy either way. They're smart enough to know when it's OK to use them.

Mark Yellen

A great demand today is that work should be interesting. This is a recent development in human history, and workers in field or factory over the centuries would have been greatly puzzled by it.

George Watson

The President provided long-overdue benefits for the workers but these are just make-over, ?band-aid? solutions to allay workers? discontent about this administration?s performance to address the worsening jobs crisis.

Josua Mata

Some members are still unhappy about the offer. They remember very clearly that they have had no raises for the last three years. Other workers say it's a lot better than what we started out with and we're going to take it.

Dave Minshall

Younger workers should have more freedom to build their retirement nest egg.

Gresham Barrett

We must build a movement that does effectively address the construction industry as it is today and which helps the majority of our nation's construction workers have good jobs, good training and a path for new opportunities.

Terence M. O'sullivan

We are saddened by the untimely loss of a great humanitarian, workers' leader and a deep fountain of human courage, dedication and perseverance.

Willies Mchunu

It's sufficient to protect both workers and the public from any inadvertent exposure.

David Gladstone

We've got a business climate conducive to business creation, and that produces jobs. We have heard from a number of businesses that they're having trouble finding qualified workers.

Warren May

[LAX star Heather Locklear has new-found respect for airline workers since filming the show.] We know what goes on behind those doors, ... You look at the airport differently and from the perspective of the people who work there.

Heather Locklear

There have been instances when cemetery workers were picketing this job site (the cemetery). These are rights we've enjoyed since 1935 ... and this bill would abrogate those rights.

David Martino

Some of the workers that ended up working there were graduates of those programs.

George Cole

Office workers should unite and stop work for one day in order to salvage the nation dominated by the capitalist dictatorial regime.

Somsak Kosaisuk

We are losing business opportunities as a result of the shortage of workers and the affordable housing issue.

Kathy Baylis

We should also support laid-off workers in seeking new jobs on their own, and encourage them to become self-employed or to work in private sectors of the economy.

Li Peng

If the company doesn't make money, the plant doesn't exist, so we need the company to make the money, we need them to share it with the workers.

Doug O'halloran

Sleepy workers are a pricey expense for businesses, since their productivity and the quality of their work is negatively affected.

Hernan Daguerre

In times like this, there are no words that will take away the pain of a loved one's violent death, ... Everyone in the IMB family and everyone who loves Southern Baptists' overseas workers are grieving with the family members and co-workers of these precious souls.

Jerry Rankin

I think, Wednesday, you can expect people to come on out. We've just asked for an extended lunch hour for office workers.

Guillermo Luz

'Faster, faster, get that product out the door!' is the industry byword, ... The results are cuts, amputations, skin disease, permanent arm and shoulder damage, and even death from the force of repeated hard cutting motions. When injured employees seek workers' compensation claims for their juries, they are told, 'You got hurt at home, not on the job.'

Jamie Fellner

The Change to Win Federation is not going to stand by and silently watch a big business unfairly fire union members. So we got out there early this morning and made some noise as a part of our demand for the new hotel owners to reinstate these workers.

Brad Slawson

The less money we have to spend on workers compensation, the more money we save for the company.

Scott Kerr

U.S. workers are a more cavalier about opening things. There's a high level of trust that IT is protecting them, or worse, they just don't think that it's their fault when something goes wrong.

Bob Hansmann

The employers of North County depend on us to supply them with qualified workers. We need to have the best possible technology in our classrooms for our students, who will eventually help make the quality of life in this region flourish.

Michelle Nelson

We need to be advised as to whether there will be the termination of service on the grounds of redundancy for some or all of the workers as a result of the ownership change. If that is not the case, the matter needs to be settled as to whether there will be a renewal of the existing contract of employment, or the re-engagement under a new contract.

Danny Roberts

All these initiatives are good for Wal-Mart but they don't address the core problems that they create for their workers and their communities.

Chris Kofinis

The Democratic legislators are going to have to explain why they took out a competent, Democratic ... director purely because they are focused on getting this driver's license bill for undocumented workers. It's a prime example of Democratic lawmakers playing politics as opposed to focusing on good public policy.

Margita Thompson

The teams we're working with are used to working at a lot quicker pace than regular workers because they have a time crunch. We took that same outlook for this family and worked twice as hard.

Megan Jones

When built properly with effective use of graphics and information objects, dashboards deliver targeted data 'in context' to the business workers, allowing these workers to make better, more timely business decisions. A good, effective dashboard application will save the business workers time, and that is the key reason why dashboards are gaining in popularity.

Keith Gile

We have a shortage of workers, and quite a few that are working two jobs, which is not necessarily reflected in unemployment.

Pat Fleck

Solidarity. Those are our students' parents. County workers, those are our students' parents.

Steve Weingarten

We have people sleeping all over the ministries, including the buildings that they're talking about. It appears they want to throw out the emergency relief workers.

Barry Miller

The reason we don't have 1,000 or 2,000 (workers) out there is because we don't have any way to get them out there and keep them out there safely.

Roland Guidry

We need to be very, very clear here that state workers have made enormous sacrifices in this contract. We endured what amounts to a two-year wage freeze.

Bob Master

We've never had a recruitment drive in the history of the Red Cross in which we've tried to bring in 40,000 workers.

John Degnan

Cutting down the number of noodle varieties in the market sounds like a good move as it will help the company to focus. Cutting jobs, especially the plant workers, may not reduce costs by much.

Arfan Karniody

Peter Reith last night put 1,400 workers and their families on the street.

John Sutton

Parents are the workers at the carnival. It takes over 400 people to do it - that's an amazing number. We sure want them all to know that it's very much appreciated.

Lori Stephenson

What other countries like India want is to liberalize [mode IV to include] other workers in general, but if you open that up, competition will become bigger, from India, from Eastern Europe.

Rene E. Ofreneo

These are not people you might associate with firearms ownership or competition. We have a lot of diversity in the sport today. We have dental assistants, bank managers, teachers and textile workers. We have teenagers and people who are in their 70s.

Alan Deal

They are two of the hardest workers and hardest competitors on the team. We are going to miss their hard-nosed play when they're gone.

Ron Vlasin

Foreign-born workers do not substitute perfectly for, and therefore do not compete with, most native-born workers. Rather, the complementary nature of the skills, occupations, and abilities of foreign-born workers increases the productivity of natives, stimulates investment, and enhances the choices available to consumers.

Giovanni Peri

Most of the versatile kids are hard workers. You have to be willing to put the extra time and the extra work in. They are all very competitive kids, too. It's very easy to give up on a new event. The kids who are very competitive learn to get better.

Rich Mcgriff

Many who think they are workers in politics are really merely tools.

Lord Salisbury

Controlled-atmosphere killing will save Safeway money, help workers and save chickens from a horribly cruel death. We're thrilled that Safeway is taking a leadership role in eliminating some of the worst abuses of chickens at slaughter.

Bruce Friedrich

Competition is a consumer's best friend. It offers better prices, better variety and better quality. There are also more employers competing for the services of workers, and it makes it better for workers in terms of wages and benefits.

Ralph Brown

Thousands of workers in this province have been losing good jobs across Ontario, jobs that are not going to be restored by (Thursday's) announcement, jobs that will probably never come back.

Peter Kormos

Microsoft's 3.0 CRM release will become a prominent driving force toward hosted CRM products for small businesses. Workers in small companies are already familiar with the Office interface.

Robert Boise

Workers are legally entitled to breaks and employers have to acknowledge that. They should try and be fair to all staff and consult with them before they change any rules.

Charles Cotton

This is an enormous disappointment, ... The unfortunate consequence of this decision will be a brain drain because most of the civilian workers simply will not move to China Lake. It makes no sense to waste the skills of the talented people already doing these jobs in Ventura County.

Brad Sherman

This dovetails nicely with what we're doing. Our role is to help Wal-Mart workers get a voice on the job.

William McDonough

If they have a voice, they make a difference, they're learning, and it's a worthwhile contribution both to their own skill sets and contribution to the company, workers will want to stay on board.

Suzanne Miklos

We have decided to hold the full meeting of all the Congress workers at Kochi in March and Sonia Gandhi has agreed to take part in the meeting on the final day when she will address party workers.

Ramesh Chennithala

We have worked hard to resolve this situation quickly, before more people are hurt by Global Horizons' predatory practices, ... Rather than dragging this out in the courts, we've reached an agreement that puts the company on a very short leash and creates a better situation for potential workers.

Karen Lee

Workers don't want to give up what they've earned in terms of health-care coverage. It's sort of the deepest wound you can cut.

Robert Bruno

This will not hurt U.S. tech workers. These [visa workers] are innovators. They're coming in and making America more competitive globally.

Rebecca Peters

Please, give us an opportunity 'cause we are all hard workers, not criminals.

Miguel Garcia

The situation in West Darfur is of particular concern following a series of attacks on INGO [international NGOs] convoys. Overall, there have been at least 10 serious attacks on humanitarian workers in the past 30 days, including two attacks by armed men that took place on 1 September.

Radhia Achouri

We're calling on the Legislature to quickly pass the health care reform proposal now pending at the State House, with an employer responsibility provision. By putting a floor under employer health expenditures, the employer responsibility provisions halt the race to the bottom that leaves workers with no coverage and raises health care costs for everyone.

Liz Jackson

There are thousands of unemployed Americans with the skills, drive and creativity needed to thrive in the current marketplace. Yet too many cannot find jobs because companies are turning to H-1B workers as a first choice, before even advertising open positions to American workers.

David Huber

It's a sad day for the Delphi workers that our plants are being closed.

Jonell Sayles

The movement to notebooks for people who are largely not mobile workers and were doing it because of lower heat and smaller space requirements, that part of the trend flattened out a bit as we got to very small form factor desktops and LCD monitors becoming more affordable.

Peter Sutherland

Some of the workers had expressed an interest in having the ability to organize, and I felt that they ought to have the ability to organize if they want to without any fear of intimidation from (the county) relative to that organization. It was a rights issue for me.

Commissioner Sam Hart

Kiss is getting its flour supplies from NFM today and our operations will continue as normal. I've been told that NFM workers have gone back to work and negotiations are to continue.

Paul Quesnel

I think the legislature has a responsibility to assure safety to not only the workers but also the public.

Ron Ruff

There are two Americas - and millions of the people already distinguish between them. One is the America of the imperialists - of the little clique of capitalists, land lords and militarists, who are threatening and terrifying the world. This is the America the people of the world hate and fear. There is the other America - the America of the workers and farmers and the 'little people.'

James P. Cannon

It's a striking testimonial to the strength and resilience of the U.S. economy. These are really good times for American workers.

Allen Sinai

Since a gazette notification has been issued on the 1976 Act, we have directed our workers not to write on walls anywhere anymore.

Anil Biswas

We want to let those workers know we support them and that we're continuing our efforts to bring about change that would allow workers to safely proceed with their daily work without the fear that they will be subject to arrest.

Roberto Reveles

We're not trying to drive the neighborhood into the hospital to shop until you drop. The focus is not on external marketing: Woman's already has incredible daily traffic, and they're on a tremendous growth mode. It's really about getting the retail message to all the physicians, the front-line workers--everybody that's involved in touching the patient in some way.

Mindy Thompson

We are foreseeing 2.5 fewer workers during the 2005/2006 harvest, because of company mergers and modernization. In addition, it's turning out to be cheaper for companies to process tobacco in Santa Catarina.

Sérgio Pacheco

Over the last 20 months that these tariffs have been in place, I have seen a true renewal in our steel industry -- companies consolidated, production grew and workers sacrificed for a better future.

Bob Ney

The world would look different if employers, in their first offer had proposed a healthy 2 percent. We want a fair share for workers.

Berthold Huber

Remember the work that they are doing and tell and them and show your appreciation, ... If you're sure you're symptom-free, and they're symptom free, hug a health care worker. And I remind you, we're health workers, too.

James Young

Betty Montgomery believes the money should be given to the Bureau of Workers' Compensation. That's why she did that. Others apparently have different opinions.

Mark Weaver

Until the county has a hospital, industry is not going to come here. Industries want to be able to provide medical care for their workers.

James Aldridge

Actually, they'll take anything that is given right now. They're to the point where they're desperate. They'll take a year's worker's permit if that's what is given to them.

Blanca Gonzalez

Enough is enough. The manufacturers must show some respects to their workers by complying with safety rules.

Mir Nasir Hossain

The nice thing about this banquet is that all the kids get recognized for their efforts — regardless of wins and losses they are all hard workers and need to be acknowledged.

Jason Rostorfer

The question must be asked, can we afford to raise the rate? [For] a lot of federal workers, especially those who do delivery and just going to meetings, it can be very costly ... It'll be interesting to see if the rest of the Senate embraces this.

John Townsend

We will not tolerate this budget being balanced on the backs of hardworking public workers. This governor repeatedly made a commitment of no layoffs, a commitment to cut waste in spending, to cut political appointees and to only cut the state work force through attrition. We're going to hold him to those commitments.

Carla Katz

It's a chicken-and-egg thing. If you have people studying to be engineers or whatever, you have to have jobs for them or they can't stay here. And if we don't have workers with the right skills, it's hard to get the jobs. It's something you have to build toward.

Dean Stanley

We bring together low-income workers and their families on a self-help basis.

Mark Horn

Vendors experienced significant growth in the color page printer market due to aggressive pricing, as the average selling price of these devices declined 21 percent in 2005. Monochrome page printer shipments remain strong due to the growth in small and midsize business (SMB) and remote workers that need inexpensive printers.

Peter Grant

A collective bargaining agreement is not the only way a labor movement can represent workers.

Karen Nussbaum

Sometimes informality breeds rudeness. Maybe companies that are very informal manage to keep stress levels down. But if it's very informal, workers might not know what their boundaries are.

P.m. Forni

We're always looking for more workers.

Cal Bender

We fear that many children are among the dead and injured. Our rescue workers are expecting not just seriously injured people, but also people suffering from hypothermia.

Peter Volk

I thought it was a reflection, not a whole reflection, because films never are. You know workers had English-speaking bosses who didn't condescend to speak their language. It still happens in Canada — and no longer in Quebec. You can argue, as I have, that Quebec had the power to rectify that situation any time it damn well chose.

Desmond Morton

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

John Cleese

We can see an increase in contraceptive use in areas where the health extension workers have been to.

Health Minster Tedros Adhanom

[Critics say Carnival deserves to be treated no differently than a hotel housing relief workers under a FEMA contract.] Carnival should be contributing to the relief effort just like all other taxpayers are, ... Why should they be singled out for special treatment, just because they've been so good at tax avoidance in the past?

James Mcintyre

Your workers represent your company. It's very important that companies understand the true impact of how employees portray a company's image. Someone with strong social skills and a pleasant demeanor makes a great representation of your company.

Maureen Wild

The unemployment rates dropped for the right reason -- because there were fewer workers on the unemployment rolls, not because workers have left the area because of a lack of jobs. That's an indication the economy is strong.

Cristina Gonzalez

By protecting the wages of all workers, that brings up wages for everyone.

Minsun Ji

One of the things that's becoming very consistent when you look at the literature is that it is costing employers quite a bit in terms of absenteeism, higher health and medical expenses and reduced productivity when their workers are inactive or overweight.
