This increase in life expectancy is attributed in part by the growth and improvement of the health care industry. In 2010, $1.75 trillion in revenues was reported along with more than 14 million people reported as being employed in the medical career field (“The health and,” 2013).

Nurses duties include performing frequent patient evaluations, injury care, phlebotomy, out-patient care plans, and patient progress checking (“Nursing job descriptions,” 2013). Although doctors and hospital admin are important to hospital operations, nurses are critical in the support and skills they provide in accomplishing the mission of providing stellar patient care to its customers. No hospital can operate without the contributions of nurses, and for this reason, the hospital must work in good-faith to meet the needs of the nurses. The result of failing at this requirement spells disaster, starting with unionization. The recommendation of the human resource office is to avoid unionization for the good of the nurses and the overall quality of hospital operations. The effects of unionization on the hospital could be crippling for both nurses and the organization as a whole. Union dues and initiation fees are typically quite expensive. Dues are...

...Skylaar Ford Essay #6 The Affordable Care Act is Driving a Wedge Between the Socio-Economic Classes. Question at Issue: Will the Affordable Care Act exaggerate the difference between socio-economic classes? Argument Sentence: The Affordable Care Act is exaggerating the difference between socio-economic classes because the ACA encourages employers to cut employee hours. Premise: Any law that encourages employers to cut employee hours will exaggerate the difference between socio-economic classes. The majority of college students hold jobs while studying so that they can pay rent and phone bills, and occasionally go to the movies or out to dinner. We get the money for these bills and activities through bi-weekly paychecks. We work hard, usually for thirty to forty hours a week, and are compensated near minimum wage. Although miniscule, it is still enough to cover the daily expenses in our lives and to have a bit left over for extraneous items. Corporate employers, big business for example, are often the ones who disburse paychecks to people attending college. They offer entry-level jobs that are easy to come by, are continuously expanding, and have a high turnover rate. Large corporations, such as Regal Entertainment Group, Five Guys Burgers, and PetSmart, are cutting employee’s hours down to less than thirty a week. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates employers to provide health insurance to employees working full-time (thirty-plus hours weekly). By cutting...

...On August 13, 2014 at 9:54 pm, Pacific Business News (PBN) announced the closure of JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa at Ko ʻOlina Resort. Also in this article, the Marriot’s management contract ends on December 31, 2014. There have been speculations that Four Seasons hotel bought the JW Marriot Ihilani Resort, but is not yet confirmed. Because of this proclamation that the JW Marriot Ihilani will be closing, there will be many changes in the organization in all levels of positions. Currently, there are 500 employees that are non-union members that who are affected from this closure. Due to this closure, this will result in employee layoffs, positive or negative employee morale and the struggle of finding new jobs for the employees. The way a company manages this change and assist employees through the transition will make a big impact in the organization as a whole. The change that is happening within Ihilani due to this closure is similar to what other organizations go through as well. Personally, I’ve experienced having to go through the changes in the organization when I used to work for a sushi restaurant called “Sushi Go” as a hostess/waitress. A month before it was announced that the company was closing, there were a lot of changes happening in the organization. There was a rumor among employees that the restaurant was in the verge of closing, but I thought it was a false hoax. However, once we started experiencing major changes, I felt that the rumor was valid. ...
