Build Quotes
I think it's possible this whole debate started with the Change To Win unions when they left and caused the AFL-CIO to discuss what to do. But it's not just about numbers. It was about coming up with a new strategy. You have some people saying it's silly to leave any union out and you need to build the labor movement one city at a time.

Becoming Quotes
Japan will maintain growth driven by demand at home, particularly by solid consumer spending, as the labor market is becoming tight, propping up wages and household incomes. Upward pressure on prices will intensify next fiscal year, when the employment situation will become much tighter.

Collecting Quotes
Last week I trained two OBGYN physicians at EAMC and yesterday (Wednesday) I trained six out of 22 labor and delivery nurses. I'll train more nurses on Feb. 8 and eight more physicians and the rest of the nurses on Feb. 13. Once everyone is trained, we can start collecting cord blood. We should be up and running by Valentine's Day - that's the goal. If not, it should be shortly thereafter.

Critical Quotes
I respect John Sweeney; he has spent his whole life working for working families. But we are in a critical moment in our history for working families. Things are getting worse for them, and time is running out to turn things around. The urgency to rebirth the labor movement is much stronger than my loyalty to individual friendships.

Asian Quotes
Over the past decade, global and Asian investors have become more aware of the impact of environmental, social, and governance variables on their investments. Whether it is a question of watching companies struggle with persistent environmental challenges or evaluating the impact of labor disputes, investors in Asian equities must increasingly look at a range of global sustainability issues to assess the long-term value of companies.

Ability Quotes
Our Global Procurement and Manufacturing groups partnered to select a provider of contingent labor that would create the most value. Maneuvering the challenges of demand and supply levers relating to contingent labor is not easy, and we selected Staff Management because of their ability to deliver a greater total value and lower total cost of ownership two key factors in our decision.

Affecting Quotes
Overall I think it's fair to say we're seeing some impact of interest rate adjustments affecting the overall economy, ... It's clear we have certain skill shortages in certain sectors of the economy, but overall we have a majority of sectors that continue to hire. We have a skills shortage, not a labor shortage.

Advertising Quotes
Overall, the U.S. labor market is off to a very solid start in 2006 as strong business fundamentals continue to boost employer demand for workers, creating more job opportunities and driving the unemployment rate down to well below 5 percent. Demand for workers in the U.S. remains elevated at the outset of the year, while the online migration of help-wanted advertising continues at a rapid pace. The Index's findings for February clearly indicate greater confidence among employers throughout much of the country, largely due to the underlying strength of the economy. This is encouraging news for job seekers and bodes well for this year's class of college graduates as they begin their search for employment.

Billion Quotes
Out of the $1.4 billion in labor cost savings target, the company let this opportunity skip away over $10 million (severance costs), clearly reflecting the fact that the issue is not money but the company is intent on driving this work group into the ground and keeping the heel of its boot on each of our throats.

Fewer Quotes
Part of the real story here is that, through July, producers were still getting more output, with fewer labor hours put in. Productivity in the third quarter is probably going to be stronger than in the second quarter, confirming the idea that, while the stock market's not in good shape, the overall economy's not that bad.

Enjoyed Quotes
Paul will be remembered as one of the greatest commissioners in the history of professional sports. When Paul succeeded Pete Rozelle as commissioner, he had big shoes to fill, as everybody was quick to remind him. In his own style, he went about the task of filling those shoes, and the results speak for themselves. During his tenure, the National Football League has enjoyed unparalleled popularity, prosperity and labor peace, thanks largely to Paul Tagliabue.

Accounts Quotes
Part of the idea was to help our financial consultants focus on their bigger accounts, the ones that are more labor intensive, ... This also gives smaller accounts the service they need. They can call three or four times a week and have all their needs met and not have to split their attention and time with financial consultants who have $5 million accounts.

Advanced Quotes
Our labor costs have moved from 18 percent of a part to 2.5 percent. We've watched this eliminate the supposed benefits of taking work overseas and it's allowed us to win work back from offshore competition. Our work orders have increased steadily enough that our work force has attained constant growth. Our employees today have higher levels of job security, receive more advanced training, and are better compensated than ever before. If we hadn't shifted, the work they're doing today would most likely be done overseas.
-
Across Quotes
Our labor agreement was one that the membership overwhelmingly ratified, and it turned out to be a pretty decent labor agreement. We gained wages, gained benefits - pensions were status quo - and we redesigned and restructured the workforce to be more efficient, as we have all across the industry.

China Quotes
National benefited not only from lower labor costs, but also because it is now closer to where many of the world's mobile phones are made these days, and that is China. Roughly half of the world's research and development, and production of the world's handsets, are in China these days.
-
Advocate Quotes
Mark was trusted by Labor as a thinker, as a formidable parliamentarian, as a moving advocate of Labor's great ideals. But almost more than this, Labor put its faith in Mark Latham because the caucus wanted to register its protest about the corrosion of its internal culture. In electing Mark, Labor caucus said to the world and to itself that it wanted to change for the better. And I believe it has.

Basketball Quotes
I think of everything I have been through... It makes me see how blessed I am. I've done real hard labor, working as an electrician and stuff. I was out of basketball, working labor jobs to make money. I could have stayed there, done the work, and made a pretty good living for my family. But I couldn't let basketball go. I had to see this all the way through, and I am glad I did. You will never hear me complain. I have nothing to complain about. I've been on the other side. I know how it is in the real world.
