Book Synopsis Locking Horns with the Federal (Postal Service) Eeo by : LK Cuttill
Download or read book Locking Horns with the Federal (Postal Service) Eeo written by LK Cuttill and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-12-29 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was created with the intent to help the reader understand the laws, regulations and guidelines that control the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as you enter the eccentric world of the Postal Services administration process. You will find that many facts and issues are elusive or abstract at best. Having this information at hand will give you some enlightenment of what to look for and to watch out for. These are the opinions of the writer, personal first hand experiences with EEO counselors, analysts, lawyers and judges and actual complaints that have been filed with the EEOC against the Postal Service and its managers by this author. Time frames are laid out for easy reading for each stage of the EEO process. The reader will be walked through each stage of the process with insights to what forms to fill, time frames to abide by and, with some, a comparison to a real life experience. In some areas there are EEO advocates; however, locating those individuals are not so simple. Therefore, this book was written to supply some form of support and guidance for those wandering aimlessly through the tar pit of an EEO process. For those who have bumbled their way through a complaint and are now leery to march in those steps again, I do hope this book will change your battle fatigued desire to continue on defending your civil rights. For everyone who settles quickly for less than they believe they deserve or forebodes filing the complaint in whole only supports the Postal Services attempt to manipulate and dominate its employees into submission equal to slavery of today. I am with great hopes the unions will give support to this book and may even provide training classes to their representatives to give direction to their members. There is no dispute from this authors point of view that the Postal Services EEO administrative process is only for a public image. Let us just simply say that, in the mind of the author, this process is a farce as a whole. The Postal Service issues several letters, memos and provide stand up talks concerning harassment and discrimination with statements instructing the employee to report such actions to their supervisors and managers with a promise of no retaliation; yet, the top two issues of EEO complaints for 2007 were discrimination and retaliation, respectfully. During the authors stretch in the EEO process he had sent numerous letters directly to the Postmaster General John Potter and several members of the Board of Governors; however, no one responded directly to the discrimination and retaliation complaints. Thereby, indicating these actions are condoned and that upper management is content with wasting finances to battle the complaint throughout a drawn out process than to make a decent decision to resolve the inhumane treatment of their employees. This book is to dispel any thought or hopes that could be harboring in the readers mind that a possible early settlement from management due to their concern or compassion to the negative experience of the violated employee. It does not mean that a settlement is impossible as I am sure there are some good managers somewhere in the United States that work hard to maintain their own integrity. But, this book does show you that there are alot that do not and doesnt want the reader to proceed with false hopes. The long and short of this book and its subject is to get your mind on target without allowing yourself to accept a disillusioned perspective or false hope. It is to provide you with knowledge on how to fight for your rights that the Federal EEOC fails to do for you. It is meant to give you comfort in knowing that you are not the only one being violated and mistreated in the Postal Service; nor, are you the only person that has been lost or confused within this labyrinth of a process created to discourage employees from partaking in. Keep in mind to stay focused, stay within timeframe

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Ann Walker delivers perfect pulse-pounding romantic suspense! The former Navy SEALs of Deep Six Salvage thought they could retire to the sea and hunt for treasures of the deep, but when trouble comes to visit, there'll be hell to pay. Dalton “Doc” Simmons is having one helluva week. First, archaic laws have kept him and his partners at Deep Six Salvage from recovering the sunken treasure they’ve been after since bugging out of the Navy. Second, an approaching hurricane threatens to scatter the legendary riches across the bottom of the ocean. And third, Deep Six’s feisty, flirty attorney, Camilla D’ Angelo, has just landed on Wayfarer Island, and she represents everything he can’t stand...and everything he can’t help but want. One look at Doc and Cami knew she’d met the man of her dreams. The medical doctor-turned Navy SEAL-turned treasure hunter has it all—brawn and brains. The problem? He doesn’t like her. In fact, no man has ever given her so much crap. But something tells Cami there’s more to his bad-tempered brooding than meets the eye. As the storm closes in, so does a boat full of dangerous men bent on claiming the centuries-old treasure for themselves...and killing everyone on Wayfarer Island. Doc must keep Cami close if he wants to keep her alive. But all that proximity turns up the heat on the chemistry bubbling between them. For Cami, it’s more than a fight for her life, it’s a fight for Doc’s heart. If they survive, can she convince him to let go of his past for a chance at a future with her?

Book Synopsis Conversations with McCartney by : Paul Du Noyer
Download or read book Conversations with McCartney written by Paul Du Noyer and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the most fascinating portraits to date of one of the most important cultural icons of our age.” —Choice In June 1989, Paul Du Noyer was contacted by Paul McCartney’s office in London. They asked him to interview the star; McCartney and Du Noyer had met once before and enjoyed a good rapport. In the years that followed, Du Noyer continued to meet, interview, and work for Paul McCartney on a regular basis, producing magazine articles, tour programs, album liner notes, press materials, and editorial content for McCartney’s website. Du Noyer has spent more hours in formal, recorded conversation with McCartney than any other writer. Conversations with McCartney is the culmination of Du Noyer’s long association with McCartney and his music. Drawing from their interview sessions across thirty-five years and coupling McCartney’s own candid thoughts with Du Noyer’s observations and analysis, Conversations with McCartney is beautifully written—a sensitive, shrewd portrait of one of the most accomplished musical artists of our time. “Readers get to hear the seemingly ageless former Beatle discuss a variety of topics: songwriting, religion and spirituality, his enduring relationship with Linda Eastman, his reflections on the breakup of the Beatles and life after the group.” —Publishers Weekly “A welcome contribution to a growing body of serious but not solemn work about The Fabs.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Invisible Web written by and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1991-12-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing new focus to the subject, THE INVISIBLE WEB investigates the family from a feminist perspective. Using the lens of gender, connections between mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, and husbands and wives are analyzed and given new meaning. The authors evaluate and redefine family transitions such as divorce, single-parent and female-headed households, and remarried couples who are attempting to integrate their respective children with ex-spouses and complicated networks of extended kin. They also reexamine traditional and emerging roles for women in their early, middle, and later years. Written in an engaging format, each chapter features an in depth analysis of how gender shapes the relationship in question. This discussion is followed by fascinating vignettes of actual cases from each of the four authors, whose approaches reflect different orientations to therapy. Based on the work of the Women's Project in Family Therapy which won the 1986 AFTA Award for Distinguished Contribution to Family Therapy, this groundbreaking work is an excellent text for courses in family therapy and women's studies, an invaluable guide for mental health practitioners, and an insightful read for anyone who wishes to explore the invisible web of gender patterns in families.
