...Norma Rae Labor Unions are an essential part of the work environment these days. Many companies and corporations deal with unions to better understand the employees wants and needs. In earlier years, unions were not as prevalent and popular with employers. Employees were scared to go rise up against the employer. As people became more aware of the positive affects on joining a labor union, many individuals bought into the union idea. The movie “Norma Rae” provides great examples to prove the facts issued on the AFL-CIO website. One of the main problems illustrated in the movie “Norma Rae” was the working conditions. The working conditions for Norma Rae and her coworkers at the textile factory were brutal. One of the characteristics I noticed about the working condition were the break rooms. The break rooms in the movie should be considered a closet space. The working conditions were also very dangerous and loud. During one of the opening scenes, Norma Rae’s mother loses her hearing because of the lack of protection from the employer (Ritt (Director), 1979, Norma Rae). The employers of Norma did not care about her and the other’s well-being during working hours. The employer only cared about productivity and numbers. The workers and Norma had very little breaks during the work day which is a horrible way to work. Many of the workers during the movie looked very run-down and overworked (Ritt (Director), 1979, Norma Rae). According to the AFL-CIO website, one of the main reasons...

...Abstract Norma Rae is a true story set in a Southern mill-town in the summer of 1978. Norma Rae and the mill workers were victimized by the mill owners - low, unfair wages, and poor health conditions from the work in the textile mill. During this time Norma was fearful for her family's health and becomes aware of a labor organizer trying to bring the union to the mill. Norma decides to join forces with the union organizer, Reuben Warshosky. Management saw her as a threat and ordered her out of the mill, but not before she inspired the mill workers. It is greatt leadership that finally brings the mill workers together and they vote in and start a branch of the Textile Workers Union of America. The film is a real testament to the transformation of an oppressed woman who was a follower and then become a leader. The story of Norma Rae is based on an actual event, it tells how a fast talking, middle class union organizer named Reuben Warshovsky comes to a small souther mill town to organize a branch of the textil workers union. The textile mill O.J. Henley Plant was run with low, unfair wages, and unhealthy working conditions. In the beginning Reuben wasn't having any luck and through his struggle with the mill workers he inspired one worker Norma Rae and she joined forces with Reuben. Norma was a tough, southern middle class working woman who felt stick in her ho hum drab extistence. She has a love-hate relationship with her father Vernon, who was overprotective of Norma. She...

More related to this story * Video: Bob Rae begins rebuilding Liberals as interim leader * Federal Liberals won’t pick new leader for full two years * Why do Liberals support Canada Post? In addition, he intervened at the beginning of the party’s so-called extraordinary convention Saturday to call for the selection of a permanent leader to be delayed for two years to give the party time to rebuild. His view won the day as Liberals decided to postpone the decision until no later than June, 2013. Mr. Dion told The Globe and Mail on Monday that when Mr. Ignatieff was leader, the media was only interested in speaking to him to find “a contradiction with Mr. Ignatieff.” When he realized that, he felt it was better “to express my views privately.” He said the only time he intervened in the Commons over the past two years was when he felt that none of his colleagues were going to jump in on an issue. Otherwise, he kept quiet – although he attended votes, debates and Question Period. That gave him a lot of time to work in his riding. For that, he now says “thank God,” given he was one of only seven Liberal MPs who returned to the Commons from Quebec. And with only 34 Liberals now in caucus of the third party, Mr. Dion is stepping up to the plate. Besides, with Mr. Rae as Interim Leader, he feels the media will no longer be looking for...

...dance. For every action or feeling, there is a lyric that sings and speaks exactly what you feel. I am the youngest of seven children. My mother birthed four but my father had a total of seven. I was always the cute kid that everyone loved. I was bright skinned with curly brown hair and hazel eyes. I was athletic yet hard working. Me and my siblings never really got along. I was always the “odd man out” so to speak. I never related to anyone in my family but I was happy being me. The choices I make today are still the same. I still could care less what someone else thinks of me. If I feel like dancing, I will dance. If I feel like singing, I will sing. I learned at a very young age to make myself happy. There is a song by Corinne Bailey Rae called Put Your Records On. It is about being yourself, letting your hair down and following your dreams. Being careless and free, living life and learning from your past experiences. In life things may get hard but you still have to push on even when you feel as though everyone is against you, be yourself. As a kid it was easy to live and do what you wanted because we were kids having fun and being happy. When we get older, that is a true test of emotion. When I hit my pre-teen and teenage years is when things took a turn for the worst. I had got my first job at the age of 12 cleaning night clubs and being paid under the table. My mother knew about my job but my...

...Media Killed The Radio Star By Jacqui Picone Marketing will be the end of rock and roll. It takes genuine talent and turns it into a messy, cheesy ball of annoyance that no one wants to hear. One Direction have exhibited this to a T. Marketing is why they are five very talented boys who; whilst it is undeniable they are the most popular band in the world right now; have a large base of what more dedicated fans refer to as Directionaters. Marketing has cut, polished and zip locked them into a bag of kiddy pop tunes that alienate a potential male fan base as well as any older listeners. I know that many (myself included) very quickly filed them away under a shame playlist, commonly graced with the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen and Wham! It’s only now I’ve begun to realise I was missing out on some proper raw talent. Since when has music been defined by the clothes the band wears and the brands they endorse? Why is it that a shirtless Adam Levine with a mediocre voice is selling more albums then The Black Keys? Marketing takes all that is good and pure about music and twists it into something plastic and fake. Musicians used to sell their souls to crossroad demons just to play the blues, now musicians sell their souls for a six-pack. Amps and stage dives have been replaced by awful dance routines and Pepsi commercials. Do not mistake this for nostalgia, I have no time for it and do not mistake this for music snobbery. There are still people like Dave Grohl and Mark Hoppus who...
