Week 3: Workplace Fairness

"Employment law in the United States arose, in most cases, as a result of the demands of workers for better working conditions and the right to organize. Whenever these worker demands were deemed reasonable by a majority of society or the courts, legislation was enacted and became part of the accepted employment practices of the country."  Living and working in the United States we have many rights as citizens and paid workers.  If for any injustices going on in the work place, that employee is authorized to report it.  If for any reason, the employee does not report it.  The company can have a really big lawsuit if and when it is out.  The National Employers Lawyers Association acts on behalf of the employee for any workplace fairness.  "In other cases, the citizens of individual states or cities may vary greatly in their own views of what constitutes fairness in employment. Not surprisingly then, employment laws that vary greatly are likely to be enacted in those states and cities. As a result, you as a hospitality manager must be keenly aware of the individual employment laws that directly affect you, your operation, and your employees."
