Consider a pay raise dispute for a Sheriff Deputy-Major. The case we will analyze and discuss is Case Study 7 – 4 found on pages 383 – 385 in the textbook. This case is challenging because it involves the labor contract between the State Law Officers’ Association and the County. The grievance has already gone through a County grievance process and was turned down and is now in arbitration connected to the labor union contract with the County. Students will submit a two-page paper analyzing the case and responding to the five questions on page 385.

This week we will encounter a surprisingly hot, sensitive subject, classification of a Bargaining Subject. What may sound like a mundane, even boring topic this week actually involves the issue of using hidden cameras to spy on employees! So as you read pages 318 and 319 in the textbook be prepared for a shock.

Be sure to respond to:
1) What is a mandatory subject of bargaining?

2) Can a union waive its right to bargain over a mandatory subject of bargaining?

3) Was management’s refusal to bargain over the subject of surveillance camera usage in the workplace a violation of the duty to bargain in good faith under the LMRA, as amended? if so, what should be the appropriate remedy? Discuss the merits of the parties’ respective positions in this case.

Case Study 3-2 on pages 128-131 of the textbook. This is a critical case involving the proper classification of workers as either employees or independent contractors. Improper classification of workers can result in substantial penalties by the federal government. Some penalties may be so severe as to bankrupt an organization. The topic is definitely immediate, important, relevant and actionable, proper classification of individuals as either employees or independent contractors.

Students will respond to the following questions in a two-page APA style compliant paper.

1. Which of the company’s arguments for independent contractor status are most compelling?

2. Which of the union’s arguments for employee status are most compelling?

3. Are some factors inherently more important than others? If so, which ones, in this case, are more important?

4. Is this simply a case of who wins more of the 9 factors?

5. If you were the Administrative Law Judge working for the NLRB how would you rule in this case and why?

Case Number 1-1 on pages 37 and 38 of the course textbook. This case involves the application of the protected speech component of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) as well as understanding the role of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in determining issues of retaliation. The highly political nature of the NLRB is also considered.

You will reflect on the legal and managerial issues involved and then answer the following questions in a two-page APA style compliant paper.

Question One: Given the facts of the case and the brief description of NLRA, aka LMRA, did ARC violate labor law by telling Mr. Potts to “Please keep your pay rate to yourself ?” Explain your reasoning.

Question Two: Did ARC retaliate against Mr. Potts when it laid him off and did not offer him work on other jobs? Did these actions constitute a violation of NLRA (LMRA)? Explain your reasoning.

Watch https://youtu.be/8rv-4aUbZxQ and https://youtu.be/KqzW0eHzDSQ and watch the films “Gone Baby Gone” and “Sleepers”. Pick one movie and apply Kant’s moral philosophy to judge the MAIN FINAL action. For Gone Baby Gone judge Patricks final decision and for Sleepers judge the priests final decision. Judging any other action in the movie is an automatic zero. 500 words minimum in MLA format. Minimum 3 sources from LIRN User name: 24439 Password: fnulibrary39 You must apply Kant’s 3 premises (course materials) for 50 points and Michael Sandel’s 3 contrasts (Week 6 Lecture “Mind your Motive”) for 50 points. (https://youtu.be/8rv-4aUbZxQ) Here are the three premises of kants :Kant’s Three Premises Explained In the case of ” Gone Baby Gone” the philosophical process you will follow in this paper should sound as something like this: According to Kants first premise Patrick behaved moral because he returned the victim he was hired to find and without condition this is the “right” conduct for any detective in cases of kidnapping (the “First Maxim”). Here Kant speaks of doing the right prior to good. 2. On Kants second premise Patrick acted moral because he respected the dignity of Amanda and he treated her as an end in herself and not as means to an end like everyone else was doing in the film (the “Second Maxim”). Here Kant speaks of humans as special creatures and ends in themselves. Humans are ends, not means to an end. Los seres humanos son un fin, no un medio para un fin. 3. The conclusion is that a detective act morally when he reports a kidnapping to the police and this behavior should establish a universal law governing all detectives in cases of kidnapping (the “Third Maxim”). Here Kant asks us to test the universality of our action. Will it be OK if everyone does what I am about to do? Please let me know if you have further questions.

Anxiety disorder, OCD, or something else?
8-year-old black male
BACKGROUND
Tyrel is an 8-year-old black male who is brought in by his mother for a variety of psychiatric complaints. Shaquana, Tyrels mother, reports that Tyrel has been exhibiting a lot of worry and nervousness over the past 2 months. She states that she notices that he has been quite keyed up and spends a great deal of time worrying about germs. She states that he is constantly washing his hands because he feels as though he is going to get sick like he did a few weeks ago, which kept him both out of school and off the playground. He was also not able to see his father for two weekends because of being sick. Shaquana explains that although she and her ex-husband Desmond divorced about 2 years ago, their divorce was amicable and they both endeavor to see that Tyrel is well cared for.

Shaquana reports that Tyrel is irritable at times and has also had some sleep disturbances (which she reports as trouble staying asleep). She reports that he has been more and more difficult to get to school as he has become nervous around his classmates. He has missed about 8 days over the course of the last 3 weeks. He has also stopped playing with his best friend from across the street.

His mother reports that she feels responsible for his current symptoms. She explains that after he was sick with strep throat a few weeks ago, she encouraged him to be more careful about washing his hands after playing with other children, handling things that did not belong to him, and especially before eating. She continues by saying maybe if I didnt make such a big deal about it, he would not be obsessed with germs.

Per Shaquana, her pregnancy with Tyrel was uncomplicated, and Tyrel has met all developmental milestones on time. He has had an uneventful medical history and is current on all immunizations.

OBJECTIVE

During your assessment of Tyrel, he seems cautious being around you. He warms a bit as you discuss school, his friends at school, and what he likes to do. He admits that he has been feeling nervous lately, but when you question him as to why, he simply shrugs his shoulders.

When you discuss his handwashing with him, he tells you that handwashing is the best way to keep from getting sick. When you question him how many times a day he washes his hands, he again shrugs his shoulders. You can see that his bilateral hands are dry. Throughout your assessment, Tyrel reveals that he has been thinking of how dirty his hands are; and no matter how hard he tries to stop thinking about his dirty hands, he is unable to do so. He reports that he gets really nervous and scared that he will get sick, and that the only way to make himself feel better is to wash his hands. He reports that it does work for a while and that he feels better after he washes his hands, but then a little while later, he will begin thinking did I wash my hands well enough? What if I missed an area? He reports that he can feel himself getting more and more scared until he washes his hands again.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM

Tyrel is alert and oriented to all spheres. Eye contact varies throughout the clinical interview. He reports his mood as good, admits to anxiety. Affect consistent to self-reported mood. He denies visual/auditory hallucinations. No overt delusional or paranoid thought processes were apparent. He denies suicidal ideation.

Lab studies obtained from Tyrels pediatric nurse practitioner were all within normal parameters. An antistreptolysin O antibody titer was obtained for reasons you are unclear of, and this titer was shown to be above normal parameters.

Decision Point One
BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE SCENARIO ABOVE, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSES WOULD THE PMHNP GIVE TO TYREL?
In your write-up of this case, be certain to link specific symptoms presented in the case to DSM5 criteria to support your diagnosis.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infecti
