Truly\, it is critical for employ ers to understand the laws that apply to them\, as well as what they need to do to comply with those laws. Some employment laws only apply to compan ies with 15\, 20\, or even 100 employees\; however\, there are more than t en employment-related laws that apply to even the smallest of employers\, those with just one employee!\n\n"As Your Business Grows: Employment Law C overage for Employers" is a one-hour training class designed to introduce employers to the various federal and state laws that apply to them. This t raining session will briefly detail each of the laws that apply as a compa ny grows from one employee to 2\, 5\, 8\, 15\, 20\, 50\, and ultimately\, 100 or more employees. This class is a good starting point for any employe r wishing to better understand its employment-related obligations under fe deral and Tennessee state law. In turn\, all other employment seminars wil l build upon this introductory foundation. \n\nOver the past 15 years\, Ma ury Nicely has represented business clients in the areas of labor and empl oyment law and litigation. He provides ongoing training and legal advice f or a wide range of employers\, from small start-up business to established multinational businesses\, for the purpose of preventing legal problems i n the workplace. he also represents clients in employment-related litigati on\, including discrimination\, retaliation\, contract\, wage-and-hour\, a nd similar matters. Maury also advises clients on a broad range of issues related to traditional labor law\, including union organizing campaigns\, collective bargaining\, and the defense of claims filed with the National Labor Relations Board. Currently with the law firm of Evans Harrison & Hac kett\, PLLC\, Maury previously served as in-house labor and employment cou nsel for Volkswagen Group of America at its new manufacturing facility in Chattanooga. A graduate of Vanderbilt University and the University of Geo rgia School of Law\, Maury is licensed to practice law in Tennessee and Ge orgia.\n\nRSVP at the front desk of the BDC\nor by emailing terickson@chat tanoogachamber.com\n\nPlease Hurry!

The last night of the trip\, I had the chance to meet Tony Hsieh\, their famo usly happy CEO.\n\nHe told me\, "Happiness is our business model. We belie ve that making our employees happy is our most important job. If they're h appy\, then they'll turn around and make our customers happy. Our mission is to deliver happiness. We just happen to sell shoes."\n\nHsieh is very c lear about his WHY. What he does matters very little. If it weren't shoes\ , he would be doing something else to fulfill hi mission and vision - to s pread happiness. \n\nMost businesses earn a loyal customer base by telling people what their company does and then convincing people\, via sales tec hniques or marketing strategies\, to use their product or service. The vas t majority of businesses make appeals to our rational brains by trying to sell us on data\, features\, or price points.\n\nPractical? Yes. But\, har dly inspiring. And\, certainly\, not the best way to galvanize masses of p eople to become loyal customers. \n\nSuccessful businesses know this - Peo ple don't buy what you do. They buy why you do it.\n\nIn order to communic ate your values and beliefs\, you have to first learn what they are. In th is workshop\, you will grapple with the question\, "Why does my business e xist?" This simple question prompts you to momentarily push aside your log ic (and spreadsheets)\, dig deep into your personal values\, and build a c ohesive story about your company that starts with Why. \n\nClass exercises and discussion will help you discover your Why. Once discovered\, you wil l then begin to build out how your business operates\, and what you offer to customers or clients.

The AFL-CIO’s "Hire Local" campaign and the Carpent ers Union "Shame On" banners were just the beginning. Pro Union groups ha ve held public rallies in the area. It was reported that Bob King\, Presi dent of the UAW\, was in Chattanooga in late November talking with sympath etic employees.\n\nFor those employers who are asleep at the wheel\, it co uld be the perfect storm. The Obama NLRB is moving forward with its pro-un ion agenda. More aggressive investigations of unfair labor practice charge s\; more findings that employers violated the NLRA\; more injunctions soug ht to "protect" pro-union workers\; the newly approved "notice" to post in your workplace advising employees of their right to form a union\; and\, ultimately\, the quick NLRB elections. Are you ready for an election at your facility if you received notice today?\n\nIn an unprecedented move on Wednesday of this week\, the President recess appointed three new members to the National Labor Relations Board. On December 31\, Craig Becker’s term expired\, leaving the Board with only two members and unable to issu e any case decisions or rules. Two of the new members\, Sharon Block and Richard Griffin\, were both nominated only a few short weeks ago\, but the Senate has yet to fully consider these nominees through the normal Senate procedure at the appropriate committee or before the full Senate. Terence Flynn (a Republican nominee) was nominated a year ago to fill the remaini ng Republican slot on the Board and while his nomination has been consider ed over the past year\, his nomination has been tied up for other politica l reasons. \n\nUnder the Constitution\, the President can exercise the rec ess appointment authority for those individuals already nominated\, but ha ve yet to be confirmed\, when the Congress is in what is called a “reces s” period. There is a question however\, as to whether the Senate was a ctually in a recess period Wednesday when the President made these appoint ments.\n\nJoin us on Thursday morning\, February 2nd\; to learn more about the changes that the Obama NLRB is making and the steps you need to take now\, before you come under attack by union organizers. Let’s make sure we are aware of how the changes really effect our organizations and what w e need to do to be ready for a quick election.

Qualification for inclusion within this category requi res network firewall capabilities\, network intrusion detection and preven tion (IDP)\, and gateway anti-virus (AV) functionality. All of these secur ity features do not need to be utilized concurrently\, but need to exist i n the product.\n \nIn fact\, larger enterprises and service providers offe ring managed security service offerings vary their use of the seven differ ent Fortinet FortiGate antivirus firewall capabilities in their networks. Winxnet attributes the rapid market adoption of UTM security appliances to the fact that the rise in blended threats requires a greater breadth of i ntegrated functionality and deployment flexibility.\n\nExciting Give-Away: \nOne lucky attendee will receive a Kindle Fire!
