You’re only one small accident away from having the opposite opinion. Or aging a few decades. Whichever – take your pick.
Indeed I am, but I think it is perfectly fair to complain about it because it’s actually less about getting access to disabled people than it is to prevent frivolous lawsuits. This is really why we can’t have nice things.
I don’t think enforcing disabled access is a bad thing, what’s wrong with doing that?
He just said it means you would never see this kind of architecture and design in America. Are you not paying attention?
You’re right man, fuck those cripples. Motherfuckers should learn to walk if they want to get inside so badly.
But it’s not something to bemoan, unless you want to moan about literally everything. Cheeky sod..
This instantly reminded me of a picture I took in Tianjin, though mine isn’t as cool (I was 15).
I can imagine that quite a few have fallen into the trench on either side of the road.We strive to create spaces where students, staff and faculty feel valued, included and empowered to share their ideas. When we come up short, please tell us and we will work even harder to make our school a more welcoming and inclusive place.
Respecting individual differences and encouraging individual expression through research, creativity and storytelling is vital to our community. It is also vital to the future of advertising and public relations, which suffers from a dearth of diverse voices and stories. Our students are prepared to change that.
The Equity Student Council ensures students from marginalized identities have a voice in our school.
Our faculty is a powerful resource for students to build out their social networks and seek support as they navigate university life as someone from a historically marginalized identity.
Building relationships with communities outside of The University of Texas to foster unique opportunities for students’ and faculty’s personal and professional growth. We maintain relationships with the American Association of Advertising Agencies' Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP), The Growth Initiative, The American Advertising Federation's Most Promising Multicultural Students program and the Hispanic Public Relations Association.

International conventions, including ILO Convention 87 signed by Canada, recognize freedom of association and the right of workers to organize unions as fundamental human rights.
Unions have been a key force for fair wages and decent benefits, and for more democracy and due process in the workplace. Collective agreements protect against arbitrary work rules, discrimination and unequal pay for similar work, and unfair treatment and dismissal.
At their best, unions have fought not only for their members, but also for fundamental social reforms which benefit all working people, such as universal public health care, decent pensions, paid time off the job, and accessible and affordable education. Canada’s unions have never been politically monolithic, but they have been a consistent force for a more progressive Canada.
Mainstream international economic organizations such as the OECD, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have recognized that unions promote more equitable societies without undermining good economic performance. Countries with strong unions have less extremes of rich and poor, and stronger public services and social safety nets.
Some advanced industrial countries with still strong labour movements, such as Germany and the Nordic countries, enjoy very high productivity and very low unemployment. And some of the most successful developing countries in terms of both growth and poverty reduction, notably Brazil, have strong and growing trade unions.
In the United States today, unions represent just one in eight workers, and less than 7% of private sector workers. The decline of unions since Reagan was President is closely associated with the decline of middle class jobs, the rise of extreme income inequality, growing economic insecurity and poverty, and the severe erosion of the progressive New Deal and Great Society traditions in American public policy and politics.
Within the United States, the “right to work” states which make union membership an option for individuals have lower average wages - $1,500 less per year - and experience even greater inequality than the country as a whole. Meanwhile, some US states with relatively strong unions – such as Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Vermont – have unemployment rates of 6% or less and superior social outcomes.
Canada’s relatively stronger unions have limited to some degree the trend to greater inequality and falling wages for the middle-class. And this has certainly not undermined our economic performance compared to the United States. Even hard hit Ontario (which has the second lowest unionization rate in Canada after Alberta) has an unemployment rate significantly below the US average.
Unions still represent about one in three Canadian workers, and one in five private sector workers. A key reason for this relative strength is that our labour laws, by and large, continue to support the democratic decision of workers to join unions and to collectively bargain with their employers.
To be sure, conservative governments have made it harder for workers to organize and to bargain effectively. But it is only very recently that the political right, most notably the Ontario Conservatives, have embraced US laws which make effective union representation almost impossible.
“Right to work” laws allow workers to be “free riders” who can refuse to pay union dues, even though they continue to benefit from higher union wages and benefits, and even though unions still have a duty to provide fair representation to non members in a unionized workplace.
The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the so-called Rand Formula, which allows workers to opt out of union membership, but requires them to pay dues, sometimes to a charity.
The Canadian right-wing are also pressing for changes to labour laws which, as in Bill C-377 now making its way through the House of Commons, would require unions to make public detailed financial reports on all forms of advocacy, such as lobbying and campaigns on public issues. This is mimicking US law, and is a transparent first step to silencing union activity outside the narrow confines of the workplace.
Canadian unions have accepted stringent limits on organizational financial contributions to political parties, since the rules apply equally to unions and corporations and employer associations. But nobody on the radical right is calling for corporate disclosure of tax deductible spending on lobbying and political advocacy. And nobody is asking employer associations to represent businesses who do not pay dues.
The new right-wing attack on unions is not about creating shared prosperity or about making unions more democratic. Unions are imperfect institutions, but they belong to their members, and it is union members who should determine how the labour movement should participate in democratic discussion.
The cause of democratic equality will be in severe jeopardy if we emasculate unions as a voice for workers in the workplace and in the wider society.Home » Browse » Books » Book details, All Customers Are Irrational: Understanding What...
As many businesses are discovering, customer behavior doesn't always make sense. That really shouldn't be surprising. As recent studies have shown, people tend to base their decisions on more subconscious, emotional desires than on rational, practical choices. What's more, customers aren't able to tell you accurately why they do what they do.
Combining recent research findings with real-world examples from his consulting practice on customer experience, William J. Cusick examines how the subconscious part of the brain drives the decisions and behavior of every customer on a daily basis and introduces the concept of " the irrational customer." All Customers Are Irrational shows why businesses must change their approach to attracting and retaining customers, and proposes ways they can alter their strategies on everything from customer research, product design and website development to call center management, employee recruitment, and retail store layouts, by focusing on what customers are actually doing instead of what they're saying. Honest, direct and insightful, All Customers Are Irrational will help businesses tap into the impulses and motivations that both attract and retain consumers for the long haul.

1952 Rocky Marciano Signed Photograph Postcard PSA/DNA Authentic. Considered to be one of the greatest champions in boxing, Rocky Marciano is the only World Heavyweight Champion to go undefeated (and untied) throughout his career. Holding the title belt from 1952 to 1955, Marciano held off hopeful champs such as Jersey Joe Walcott, Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Don Cockell and Roland La Starza. Marciano was killed in a plane accident in 1969, just hours before his 46th birthday.
With his untimely death, Marciano is one of the tougher signatures to acquire in 1950's boxing circles. The offered postcard pictures him in fight trunks and gloves with a facsimile inscription of "Yours in Sports, Rocky Marciano." It has been signed on the reverse side as, "Very best to you 'Arthur' - wishing you the best always - Rocky Marciano." The signature is in 8/10 ink and the postcard is postally used, postmarked March 2, 1952. There is tape affixed to the front photo side of the card, as well as some staining on the signature side, rendering a grade of Poor to Fair. However, overall the postcard is an excellent representation of Marciano's desirable signature. Encapsulated PSA/DNA Authentic.Report Credit Online: important information regarding Online CreditScore
