Dr. Gary Roberts
Robertson School of Government
For most members of society, it is self-evident that life is more complicated and busier than ever.

Dr. Gary Roberts
Robertson School of Government
It is very tempting for employers to take advantage of workers during recessionary periods. The high unemployment rate in conjunction with few job openings provides employers with a powerful “hammer” to increase workloads, decrease staffing levels, cut wages, reduce safety standards, and eliminate or reduce benefits irrespective of the actual fiscal stability or health of the organization.
