But the old history that proposes that Columbus "discovered" America in 1492 has been widely challenged. In 1992, Berkeley, California renamed the holiday Indigenous People's Day, and other localities have subsequently followed suit.
WRR: Pensions
Last week, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber called for a special legislative session (to begin 8am September 30th) noting that "we have an opportunity to combine cost savings from reforms to the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) and new revenue to restore lost school days." In other words, maybe we can remedy some of the draconian cuts made to education in recent years by slashing the pensions of retired teachers and other public workers. Or in other words, let's pit old people against children.
Happy Labor Day.
Or, is it?
You might have noticed that Labor is not doing so well lately.
On the 19 August 2013 Old Mole Variety Hour, Iven Hale and I discuss the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, about life in a women's minimum security Federal prison. Developed by Jenji Kohan, known for having created the Showtime series Weeds, Orange is the New Black is based on a memoir of the same name by Piper Kerman, though the show makes a number of changes from the book. Like Kerman, Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, is a college-educated white woman incarcerated for having transported drug money for her lover ten years before she was convicted and sentenced to a year in a women's prison. Hijinks ensue.

worker fatality
Tag archives for worker fatality
Erik Deighton's work-related death could have been prevented. That's how I see Michigan OSHA's findings in the agency's citations against his employer, Colonial Plastics.
Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data on heat deaths among U.S. workers, underscoring the often-tragic consequences that result when employers fail to take relatively simple and low-cost preventive actions.
The incident report details are horrific and heartbreaking. If this was a radio broadcast, my editors and I would likely preface what I am about to relate with a warning: "The following report contains material that may be disturbing." On July 2nd, 28-year old Joel Metz became the eighth cell tower worker to die on the job this year. OSHA and the industry have initiated new safety measures but nothing seems to be changing.
McDonald's ruling could be a major turning point for the fast food worker movement; federal commission clarifies rules for pregnant workers; miners with black lung may have been wrongly denied benefits; and a new OSHA whistleblower partnership is launched to support commercial carrier workers.

Mapping the lives and deaths of workers: An emerging way to tell the story of occupational health and safety
When Bethany Boggess first debuted her online mapping project, she didn't expect it to attract so much attention. But within just six months of its launch, people from all over the world are sending in reports and helping her build a dynamic picture of the lives and deaths of workers.

Score from 4 reviews Excellent
Location to Grand Bay good
Buffet overpriced and Quality of food mediocre
Friendly staff. Nice food. Near town.
The room is a bit small, but comfortable.
Excellent location Beautiful pool Good breakfast
Drinks at the bar were extremely expensive Rooms required some maintenance
The staff from of breakfast. That's all.
The staff, the hotel it's to much expensive for the poor proposals
Amenities including pool, beach, and health club were very nice Best aspect was its walking distance to Grand Bay for inexpensive and tasty restaurants, shops and tours. Breakfast included a nice spread, good variety and was free. Drinks at the pool were reasonably priced for a resort. Grand Bay is good base to explore from.
Rooms are a bit bland and somewhat outdated. No Wi-Fi in the rooms, was provided in the lobby.
The relaxed atmosphere, the environment, the location (right next to the beach, within walking distances to restaurants, shopping centre and market), the responsiveness of reception staff, friendliness of staff, the Sega dance performance. The laundry came back very well-packed. It's good for both families and solo travellers.
Wi-Fi is only available in the public areas. There were a few mosquitos the first night when I arrived. There was noise from the bar nightly even at 10pm and it could be heard inside my room. The staff who cooked the omelette at the restaurant was often not ready at the start time of breakfast and there was some wait. Not much smile on the faces of waiters. Some waiters were chatting among themselves whilst customers were right next to them. There were a couple of occasions at breakfast where the waiters did not proactively offer me tea/coffee until I asked for it, other times were fine. The foods at breakfast appeared the same every day, although there were a good range of foods.
Pleasant stay with every need taken care of Excellent location
Very basic rooms, can do with refurbishment
The staff is very professional towards that which the are assigned to do. The activities that the hotel provided was excellent because there was not a dull moment while staying at the hotel
excellent location, great facilities and watersports, wonderful atmosphere.
family rooms were akin to jails, closed from all sides, I had to change to a normal room to have some open ness. Food at the Quay- lots of stuff, but less taste. need to focus on quality and some local and Asian food (Chinese, Indian) would be helpful. Did not see a great amount of help from the incharge to get some benefit in lieu of moving from a superior (family room) to a normal room (due to family room constraint stated above), instead, was asked to sign that I will have no demand of refund. That was terrible, did I have a choice, but to sign?
The localisation; very close to the restaurants, shops...
Very bad breakfast, poor buffet; not to much choices. It´s the same for the lunch and for the dinner: the buffet is poor. The staff is OK
No toothpaste in bedrooms..no disposable room slippers.
No complimentary water bottles No complimentary airport shuttle
Very warm, helpful and friendly staff. Exceptionally good service. During my stay I was down fever and the hotel staff ensured that I was given additional attention and service. Also the hotel helps in providing under sea walk (Paid), Snorkeling (Complimentary) and Scuba Diving (Paid) .
Nice beach, big pools, perfect kids pool, plenty of sunbeds, large breakdance with loveau french pastries, fructe etc
Staff not welcoming, hardly got any smiles. Poor english skills. Old room furnishings, some cockroaches here and there. Tainted couch and chair covers.
The Pool
Reception staff were friendly and accommodating.
The ants in the room. The milk jug with the milk from the beginning of our stay was never removed the entire week we were there and the milk curdled.
Location and staff were great. The set up and layout of the hotel works well. It could/should be a great four star.
The rooms are quite tired and need a general refresh to bring them back upto scratch. The sun bed cushions are very old. It can be noisy at night depending on which room you're in due to the live music each night. This added to the luke warm showers meant that all in all the hotel let itself down. (Apparently the water is heated by solar so let the staff know if it's cold and they can turn on a boiler). The hotel also had very slow wifi although it was free in the lobby.
The food and the location
The fact that there are no twin rooms in the entire hotel and that to use the computers available it cost a ridiculous amount of money. Also the car hire prices were ridiculous
no internet in room, the internet they did have was very slow
The proximity to the beach and most facilities. Their pool side bar is a lovely place & the baguettes there are quite nice.
No a la carte restaurant. The one available only entertained guests in a group & with a prior booking.
Like everything . Location , the pool, the service, The friendliness of the staff ect :
- location - reception staff - room - activities
- breakfast service staff - lack of room service - didn't get sea view as promised by booking.com
The hotel location and mature tropical gardens are just as displayed in their brochure. The restaurant looks over the blue, clear water Grand Baie.
The room furnishings are very spartan and are not of high quality. We only had breakfast at the hotel and although the food was plentiful, the choice and quality were basic.
Plenty of lounges by the pool & on the beach Good location for walking to shops etc. Inclusion of some of the activities (eg water skiing) - we did not make use of any - but a bonus for active families etc
We arrived late - only 10 mins to cut off time at the restaurant. We only wanted a snack - but no room service for a snack or drinks. This was a definite negative - the restaurant seemed to be a fixed price buffet, maybe a lot of choices, but not what we wanted in the evening
Great central location. The hotel was a good base to explore Mauritius. We hired a car (booked independently) and went to several sights including the Botanical gardens and L'adventure de Sucre, and beaches that weren't too far away. Pool was good. We didn't do any of the water sports available. Only meal we had at hotel was the buffet breakfast - there was a good selection of items. There are good restuarants around Grand Baie area which are worth exploring. Service at hotel was friendly and helpful.
No wifi access in rooms. Decor in our room starting to look dated. Was a little noisy at night as we could hear the nightly entertainment.

Ever since I opened an account with this organization, I have been hit with ridiculous fees. If you don't touch your money, you get charged with an inactivity fee of some 3 dollar amount or such. Now, ACTIVITY fee of $75 dollars. Too little spending, too much spending ALL RESULT IN YOU PAYING THE BANK MONEY. The interest rate is abysmal and will never cover the cost of my fee's that I have paid ($78) even with over 10,000 in the account. I am in no way a bad banker, Always on time with payments and no overdraft or late fees in my entire life. This bank is crap, to put it lightly, and if you want to keep your money, put it elsewhere. Don't ever trust this bank. People that work there are nice enough but the corporation and the operation of the company is CRAP. Don't waste your time or money on this piece of garbage.
I opened my first business account in 1994. Now with several businesses and multiple personal accounts, there is a mid 6 figure average daily balance and only a small portion is interest bearing earning 1/10th of 1 percent! I first got hit with an overdraft fee when a large check hit the same day i made a significant deposit to a wash account that is not meant to keep a balance. That is when i learned that bbt posts debits before credits. Now, they did refund my overdraft fee, but as a former commercial banker, this practice is punitive for folks who don't have the resources i have. Further, this policy is so unusual that no other bank in 20 i called out of curiosity, do it. At the very least it should not be in the fine print, but acknowledged with great explanation separately when a customer opens an account! However, i did not move my accounts until now. I am self employed, so i don't have direct deposit. I have no debt and don't need a $6000 loan. I don't have and don't need a mortgage. And my overall relationship of deposits won't count for anything with my "wash" accounts i have for a few accounts that don't have $1500 average balance. So, i'm moving my accounts to a small community bank where relationship means something! My advice to others with a tight cash flow, don't wait to move your account. If you do, the overdrafts will tarnish your ability to open an account at another bank. Then you will be stuck at bbt! Customer service used to be a 5, not in recent years however.
Our accountant advised use that BB&T has great customer service and recommended we consider changing from BOA. He has always steered us right, up until now. We opened a new business account in June and have had many customer service issues since that time. Each time I call I'm told I need to go to the branch where we opened the account, why have a call center? Unfortunately, they are no longer open on Saturday's and it's difficult to go to the branch without taking time off work. The latest issue started when I put in the wrong password and got myself locked out, my problem I know.
However, when I called I was told they didn't have a Resolution & Agreement on file even though they did have our signature cards. It was explained without that, they couldn't unlock my account and again, I needed to go to the branch. I explained today is Veterans Day, teh branch is closed. I have a copy of this form, could I fax it in order to get access to this account, was again told I needed to go to the branch.
I've had this account since June and they just now discovered they were missing something the branch was supposed to send when the account was opened. The responses from the call taker and her supervisor were unresponsive, clearly they have a paper they read off of, "go to the branch." I've told my husband the TD Bank commercials were referring to BB&T, complete lack of customer service.
I will be changing back to BOA, they may be large, however they have always responded immediately to my concerns without having to take time off to go to the branch.
