Executives manage with greener eyes; recent surveys show executives worry about the environment

Article Abstract:

Surveys revealed 83% of executives consider environmental and occupational health-and-safety violations highly serious offenses, co-equal with business violations. This approximates results obtained from the general public, 84% of whom believed in the severity of environmental crimes. However, the two groups differed regarding accountability for such offenses. While 75% of the public replied executives should answer for ecological damages, only 49% of executives expressed the same view. Considering that executives usually deny liability for such crimes, this signals a new awareness among business heads.

Contracts improve family life

Article Abstract:

The Department of Labor revealed in its report titled 'Work and Family Provisions in Major Collective Bargaining Agreements' that not all collective labor contracts have sufficient provisions for family needs. The report was based on a study of 452 contracts which took effect on Jul 1, 1990 or later. Of the total number of contracts reviewed, only 227 had stipulations for family concerns. However, some provisions on work schedules give employees time to attend to family needs.
