The document discusses the history of pollution and restoration efforts in the Willamette River in Oregon. It describes how the river was once declared an "open sewer" but water quality has improved due to various regulatory actions from the 1930s onward. However, the river and its fish populations still face threats including invasive species, pollution, and lack of access to cold water refuges during heat waves. Overall restoration progress depends on coordinated long-term efforts to improve habitat complexity and allow natural floodplain dynamics.
The document discusses the life history and management of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus). It provides details on the natural history of alewives, including their population status, migration patterns, habitat needs. It also discusses research on nature-like fishways to help alewives and other species pass obstacles on their migrations. Finally, it outlines the various agencies that manage alewife populations on both federal, state, and local levels.
The Willamette River flows northward through Oregon from Eugene to Portland, where it merges with the Columbia River. It passes through 9 counties and 19 cities, home to over 70% of Oregon's population. Throughout its 187-mile journey, the river has become heavily polluted from industrial and agricultural waste, as well as sewage. However, conservation groups like the Willamette Riverkeeper are working to restore the river's water quality and protect fish and wildlife habitats. With continued restoration efforts, the river's health can improve for both human and environmental benefits.
Klamath Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Oregon, located between the Cascade Mountains and Winema National Forest. It was formed from the remnants of ancient Modoc Lake over 2 million years ago. Nearly 7,000 years ago, the eruption of Mount Mazama created Crater Lake and contributed mineral-rich sediments to Klamath Lake. Klamath Lake's shallow depth, mineral-rich sediments, and winds promote the growth of a unique type of algae called Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) which flourishes in the lake but is generally non-toxic.

Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes by surface area at 31,700 square miles. It contains 3 quadrillion gallons of water, or 10% of the earth's fresh surface water. Due to its great size and depth, waves can reach heights of 30 feet and visibility underwater extends to 100 feet in some areas, making it the clearest of the Great Lakes. Lake Superior is geologically very old, containing some of the oldest rocks on Earth at 2.7 billion years of age.
Lake Superior is nicknamed "Big Water" by the Ojibwe Indians and is referenced in Longfellow's poem Song of Hiawatha. It has a surface area greater than several New England states combined and contains 10% of the world's surface fresh water. Storms can produce waves up to 30 feet tall on Lake Superior, which contains some of the oldest and clearest fresh water on Earth.
Importance of Key Physical Features in GeorgiaCoachPinto
The document summarizes several key physical features in Georgia and their importance:
The Fall Line marks the boundary between the Piedmont and Coastal Plains regions, containing many waterfalls that caused travel issues historically. Cities like Columbus, Macon, Milledgeville, and Augusta became centers of commerce where rivers crossed the Fall Line.
The Okefenokee Swamp is the largest swamp in North America, protecting over 400 species of animals. It was made a national wildlife refuge in 1937 to prevent logging of old-growth trees.
The southern Appalachian Mountains extend through Georgia, containing the state's highest point. The mountains receive over 80 inches of rain annually, providing important fresh water
Here are the key details about the Catawba River Basin:

- Historical Facts:
The Coastal Plain extends eastward from the Fall Zone to the Atlantic Ocean. Large rivers like the Potomac, Rappahannock, York, and James flow southeast across the Coastal Plain and through the Fall Zone, where the rivers cascade over resistant igneous and metamorphic rocks, to empty into the Chesapeake Bay, which then empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The topography of the Coastal Plain forms a terraced landscape that slopes down to the coast and major rivers, with scarps marking former shorelines and terraces representing emergent lands. This landscape was shaped over millions of years as sea levels rose and fell due to glacial cycles.
Alabama is bounded by Tennessee, Georgia, the Gulf of Mexico, Florida, and Mississippi. The state flag and seal prominently feature the state outline and major rivers. Mineral resources are located primarily in central and northern areas, especially around Birmingham which has deposits of coal and iron ore. Cathedral Caverns has large stalagmites and flowstone walls. The Hank Williams Museum is located in Montgomery where the singer lived. DeSoto State Park has campsites in a beautiful forested setting near waterfalls along the Little River. Weiss Lake provides fishing along the Coosa River. The Appalachian Mountains contain unique ecosystems and caves home to new species.

A quality orientation program that provides relevant information to new members is key. The document then outlines recommendations for the orientation process and follow-up activities like mentorship to positively influence new members' opinions of the union.
The document outlines the key roles of union leadership, including communicating with members and management, enforcing contracts through grievance processing, negotiating contracts, administering the union through committees and records, building the union through organizing, educating members, and developing new leaders to achieve union goals with integrity and respect.
The document discusses the key elements of an effective strategic plan including goals, objectives, strategies, and tactics. It provides examples of how to write a mission statement, problem statement, goals, objectives, and strategies/tactics for a union's strategic plan. The strategic planning process directs an organization and pulls it towards its mission through setting goals and developing objectives, strategies, and tactics to achieve those goals.
1. The document outlines standards for interpreting contract language, including that language means what it says without looking at past practice, specific language governs over general language, and enumerated items limit general language.
2. It also discusses that words must be interpreted in context of the full contract and given their ordinary meaning, unless otherwise intended.
3. Examples are provided to illustrate these standards, such as determining whether safety shoes are required based on a list of provided protective equipment.
The document discusses key terms and concepts in interest-based negotiations, including issues, interests, options, positions, and criteria. It explains that criteria are needed to evaluate options based on workability, fairness, affordability, practicality, and legality. Options are analyzed in three stages: feasibility, benefits, and acceptability. The final sentence introduces the concept of a BATNA, or best alternative to a negotiated agreement, in case an agreement cannot be reached.

It explains that criteria are needed to evaluate options based on workability, fairness, affordability, practicality, and legality. Options are analyzed in three stages: feasibility, benefits, and acceptability. The document also mentions that parties should consider their BATNA, or best alternative to a negotiated agreement, in case an agreement cannot be reached.
The document outlines the principles and steps of interest-based negotiations and integrative bargaining. It discusses establishing criteria and applying them objectively to generate options that meet mutual interests. The process focuses on selecting issues, discussing interests, generating options, establishing criteria, and developing agreed upon solutions in writing. Techniques include brainstorming, active listening, consensus decision making, and member facilitating with an open mind. Consensus decision making is defined as a decision all group members can agree to and commit to, even if it is not their first choice.
The document discusses the importance of financial data for labor unions. It explains that analyzing income statements, balance sheets, annual reports, and auditors' reports can demonstrate a company's ability to increase wages and benefits or may reveal risks that make raises difficult. The document advises unions to gather, evaluate, and present this financial data when negotiating with companies.
The document discusses the importance of financial data for labor unions. It explains that analyzing income statements, balance sheets, profits and losses can demonstrate the ability to improve wages and benefits, but may also show risks that make raises difficult. It provides examples of financial reports unions can request, including income statements, balance sheets, and auditors' reports, as well as SEC filings and stockholders reports to evaluate a company's financial situation.
This document outlines steps for developing union proposals including creating a list of proposals, setting priorities, developing arguments based on membership interests, gathering member views through various forums, reviewing the current contract to identify needs for improvement, collecting essential employee and employer financial information, and making an information request to the employer which is a legal right but may require repeated requests.
Bargaining Committee Selection and CharacteristicsJim Walker
This lecture presents bargaining committee characteristics and responsibilities. It is lecture 2 in a series of 14 lectures of the 3 unit course LS-2 Collective Bargaining offered at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College.
Collective bargaining introduction part 1Jim Walker
The document discusses goals and strategies for collective bargaining negotiations. It identifies some key goals for a negotiator as achieving objectives, ratifying a contract, and building an effective labor-management relationship. Most importantly, research shows that being respected and maintaining dignity are the most important issues for union members. The document also defines important terms like strategy, bargaining, negotiate, and leverage that are relevant to the negotiation process.
The document provides an overview of the arbitration process. It explains that arbitration involves a neutral third party (arbitrator) who renders a decision after hearing arguments from both parties. The arbitrator's authority is defined by the collective bargaining agreement and issues submitted. Preparation for arbitration involves gathering evidence like documents and witness testimony. The parties may stipulate facts and exhibits in a pre-hearing conference to streamline the process. At the hearing, each party presents opening statements, evidence, and witness testimony before closing arguments.
The document outlines the grievance procedure and timelines. It recognizes that disputes can arise and encourages informal resolution. There are typically 2-3 formal pre-arbitration steps followed by a potential arbitration step where an arbitrator makes a binding decision. The document provides examples to help track timelines, such as an alleged violation occurring on September 15th resulting in a filing deadline of October 5th, and a grievance being filed on October 4th requiring a meeting within 14 days by October 18th.
This document summarizes employee rights regarding union representation in the workplace. It outlines an employee's Weingarten rights under the 1975 NLRB v. J. Weingarten ruling to request union representation if a meeting may result in disciplinary action. It provides details on the Weingarten conditions and responsibilities of union advocates to represent members, ensure confidentiality, pursue grievances, and access relevant information from employers.
The document provides guidance for presenting a grievance meeting. It outlines preparing facts over opinions or hearsay, rehearsing the presentation with the advocate leading, and using non-verbal signals like requesting a caucus. It also recommends determining a bottom line for negotiations before the meeting, not undermining the contract with a settlement, and inventing options that benefit all parties.
The document discusses several standards for interpreting contracts:
- Clear and unambiguous language means what it says without looking at other factors
- Specific wording in a contract is given greater weight than general language
- If one item is mentioned, other similar items are generally excluded
- Lists of specific items limit general language to only items of the same nature
- Words must be interpreted based on their context and surrounding text
- The entire contract must be considered as a whole, not just parts in isolation
- Words will be given their ordinary meaning unless otherwise indicated
This document provides guidance on investigating and writing grievances. It stresses the importance of thoroughly gathering facts about the dispute from all parties involved. When writing the grievance, it should concisely answer who, what, when, where, why, and remedy regarding the contract violation in 3 sentences or less per question. The grievance purpose is to enforce employee rights outlined in the contract. It is important to reference the specific contract provisions violated and demand an appropriate remedy.
This document provides an overview of the grievance process. It discusses the five steps of a grievance (investigation, identification, documentation, preparation, presentation). It also lists common categories for grievances and discusses the scope of grievances. Additionally, it covers considerations for early resolution, interviewing potential grievants, keeping notes in the process, and topics to cover in future classes on grievances.
