Incident Briefing
Purpose. The Incident Briefing (ICS 201) provides the Incident
Commander (and the Command and General Staffs) with basic
information regarding the incident situation and the resources
allocated to the incident. In addition to a briefing document,
the ICS 201 also serves as an initial action worksheet. It serves
as a permanent record of the initial response to the incident.

5. Preparation. The briefing form is prepared by the Incident
Commander for presentation to the incoming Incident
Commander along with a more detailed oral briefing.
Distribution. Ideally, the ICS 201 is duplicated and distributed
before the initial briefing of the Command and General Staffs or
other responders as appropriate. The “Map/Sketch” and
“Current and Planned Actions, Strategies, and Tactics” sections
(pages 1–2) of the briefing form are given to the Situation Unit,
while the “Current Organization” and “Resource Summary”
sections (pages 3–4) are given to the Resources Unit.
Notes:
The ICS 201 can serve as part of the initial Incident Action Plan
(IAP).
If additional pages are needed for any form page, use a blank
ICS 201 and repaginate as needed.

1. When Maria Suarez got her new job, she was happy. As an
oil rigger, she would make enough money to support herself and
her two children. But after a week of working with a primarily
male crew, her happiness was gone. Her co-workers were the
reason. At first the men made unwelcome comments about her
body. Then sexual graffiti mentioning her name appeared. When
she came to work one morning a nude female picture was pinned
to one of the rigs. Her name had been scrawled across the
bottom. Maria complained to the crew foreman, who referred
her to the site manager. "Let's ignore it for a while," he told
Maria. "It's just good fun. The men are testing you. You've got
to fit in."
Based on your reading of chapter 20 of the text, Reed,
Pagattaro, Cahoy, Shedd, and Magid (2015) and other academic
research, address the issues raised in the Maria Suarez job
dilemma by responding to the following questions:

9. What are Maria's legal rights in this situation?
What would you do if you were the site manager?
Do you think Maria should just try to "fit in"?
As you respond to the learning activity, consider the following:
How Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment
discrimination based on many different factors. Employment
practices that may put a business at risk for claims of
discrimination.
2. The learning activity below covers several labor laws that
include WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), The
Fair Labor Standards Act, and Electronic Communications
Privacy Act. After reading chapter 21 of the text, Reed,
Pagattaro, Cahoy, Shedd, and Magid (2015), respond to the
questions that follow.
You just had one of those days--exciting and overwhelming. As
your company's director of human relations, you have dealt with
an employee asking how much leave he can take when his wife
has their first baby next month. A phone call from the
company's CFO involved discussions of potential layoffs in
order to "make the budget." A group of employees came to meet
with you, and they indicated they were talking with union
organizers as a way to combat the company's policy of
monitoring phone calls and e-mail messages. Another group of
employees expressed their feelings that they were not being
paid for all the time they worked.
Before heading home, you take a few minutes to reflect and ask
yourself the following questions:
How is the workday calculated? What legal requirements have
to be met before layoffs can occur? What is the company's
responsibility to educate employees about their rights under the

10. FMLA? Can your company properly monitor its employees'
phone calls and e-mail messages?
While responding to the learning activity, consider the
following:
The authority of an agent to act on behalf of a principal and the
resulting ethical considerations. The necessity of adequate and
detailed documentation to justify employer decisions.

5. After watching the video, "Definition of an Employee",
discuss the following:

its workers. (Cascio, 2016)

6. The case below is an example of how an agency decision is
appealed to a federal district trial court (U.S. District Court).
The example agency is the National Labor Relations Board or
the NLRB. It shows how the U.S. Justices defer to the decisions
of Administrative Law Judges (called "ALJs"), a position for
which I was being considered until President Bush changed the
selection process and I decided not to sit again for the written
and verbal tests and the President refused to "grandfather in" me
and the other candidates. :>(
The abbreviated case is below. Discuss the case based on what
you learned during week four. Do you agree with the general

12. rule that the federal judges will follow the decision of the
ALJs? What would be your recommendation?
Grill Concepts Services, Inc. d/b/a The Daily Grill, Board Case
No. 31-CA-126475 (reported at 364 NLRB No. 36) (D.C. Cir.
Decided January 29, 2018)
In an unpublished per curiam judgment, the D.C. Circuit
summarily enforced those portions of the Board's order related
to several uncontested unfair-labor-practice violations, and
remanded the remainder of the case, which includes numerous
work rule findings, to the Board for reconsideration in light
of The Boeing Company, 365 NLRB No. 154 (Dec. 14, 2017).
In Boeing, the Board (Chairman Miscimarra, Members Kaplan
and Emanuel; Members Pearce and McFerran, dissenting)
overruled one prong of its previous test, announced in Lutheran
Heritage Village-Livonia, 343 NLRB 646 (2004), under which a
"facially neutral" rule (one not explicitly restricting Section 7
activity) was unlawful if employees would "reasonably
construe" it as prohibiting protected activity.
Boeing issued after briefing was completed in this review
proceeding but before oral argument had been held. In its
judgment, after granting partial summary enforcement, the
Court remanded not only with respect to the seven violations
affected by Boeing, but also with respect to the remaining
disputed violations that were unaffected by Boeing. The Court
explained that "[a]lthough these determinations are unaffected
by the new Boeing test, we believe it would waste judicial
resources to hear and decide them now while, at the same time,
a substantial part of the case is remanded." The Circuit Court
judgment [was] issued on January 29, 2018.... (Summary of
NLRB Decisions For Week Of January 29 - February 2,

7. I found that practical application is a good learning tool.
Thus, discuss the decision of the National Labor Relations
Board in the case of EYM King of Missouri, LLC d/b/a Burger
King (14-CA-188832; 366 NLRB No. 5) Kansas City, MO,
January 29, 2018 below in light of what you learned in week
four, agency decisions and their impact on the business
environment.
The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge's dismissal of
the complaint alleging that the Respondent violated Section
8(a)(1) by threatening to discharge employees for engaging in a
protected strike and threatening to falsify the reasons for the
discharges.
Charge filed by Workers Organizing Committee - Kansas City.

decision on September 29, 2017. Members Pearce, McFerran,
and Emanuel participated. (Summary of NLRB Decisions For

14. 8. After reading the week five course materials, share your
thoughts regarding the direct quote of former Justice Sandra
O'Connor, Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306, 330 (2003), who
wrote the following in her opinion of the affirmative
action, Grutter v. Bollinger (2003):
"[M]ajor American businesses have made clear that the skills
needed in today's increasingly global marketplace can only be
developed through exposure to widely diverse people, cultures,
ideas, and viewpoints."
