Is Your Business Under Fire? y one who comes to work for us from Ready Labor will know it. Is this what we have to do to plug the system? Can’t the border patrol guys figure it out; then we will? If you cannot enforce our borders then open them. But do not lie to the small businesses of America that somehow we are protected at our borders. We are not. This is a sham. Didn’t the Jordan Commission spend years putting together a plan only to have it never implemented? Why did we waste or breath? This is pure politics, not reality; another of Smoot’s points in his book “The Business Side of Government.” One of the workers asked to work for us again and he wanted to borrow the twenty dollars he spent for the bus ride from Laredo to San Antonio. Even the illegals think this is a joke. We told him he could not work for us anymore. He did not understand why, because other businesses would have I guess that is why he was dumfounded when we told him to get lost. We called the border Patrol and they said they couAs a business owner, is your enterprise truly thriving, or are you feeling the pressure from your competitors who are breathing down your neck? If your business is not what you want it to be, what do you think is really going on? Being a business owner is probably one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of life, and at this time of year, we all need a quick business reality check. This article will provide you with a quick assessment of the business behaviors which are contributing to your success or those which might be triggering failure. As you are reading each statement, perform a quick self assessment. Can you answer "yes" to each statement? If not, your business might be under fire, and it's time to turn it around.1) I know exactly why I'm in this business to begin with. Whether it's a sense of freedom that's driving you or a need to connect to your customers in a special way with what you have to offer, your business "why" needs to be clear. By knowing the why, your business can gain momentu The Offer's On The Table Just how serious is employment law to the small businessperson? Very serious and let me tell you a true story; a horror story, which will make you think about just how serious these issues can be. In San Antonio TX one of our wash trucks was driving down the road and a border Patrol Officer passed them. We run a company which does onsite washing; www.CarwashGuys.com. Down the road they pulled over two trucks and were handcuffing Mexican illegal aliens from those company’s work trucks. Our crew drove by on their way to work. They had just left the shop and had on board two workers who worked for Labor Ready Co, for a year and a half previously and were still employed from them from time to time. We had gotten extra workers and filled our service truck with workers who were temporaries to work for us since they needed extra help with the full schedule that day.In twentieth century America while young boys learned construction with Lincoln Logs, little girls instinctively cuddled a Raggedy Ann. Even today Raggedy Ann’s red yarn hair, patched pinafore and button eyes offer images of another era as she celebrates her 90th birthday in museums and private collections.But in 1958 Barbie was born. All grown up and designed with fantasy. This was no rag doll. Barbie’s hair was real and brush-able; her wardrobe generous and trendy. The ‘Barbie’ figure was to become the ultimate achievement of the perfect body. Playing with Barbie during formative years, young girls have acted out all of their dreams.The new millennium brought new images for females. Lifestyle issues changed the way the media influenced the female psyche and redefined some old messages about life, love and growing pains. “Stay sweet” changed to “Be strong”. “Find the right man” changed to “Get your degree”. Careers in nursing were discouraged as parents pushed for Computer Science.While profes The border patrol officer was then done with the other companies’ trucks and saw we had Hispanic labor in the back and pulled over our truck after chasing it down the highway. Turns out Labor Ready had hired the illegals because they gave fake identification to them; I question the Labor Ready procedures. Labor Ready charges us $11.95 per hour for workers they pay $5.40 per hour. That is fine with us on those super busy days. So it’s a deal and saves us from background checks for jobs that are not too serious like rinsing car lots. Well we found out that 4 of the five workers we had gotten from Labor Ready did not have green cards or US Identification of any type, so they cuffed them right on the highway and took them in. Good, we do not hire illegals anyway. But think about it we hired labor from a reputable nationwide company, a franchise called Labor Ready. They take care of all this stuff and charge us up the gazooo for the workers. We know they are overcharging but for temporary extra labor for one day it is worth it. They told us there are certain questions they cannot ask them when hiring, such as are you a US Citizen or where were you born or things like that. I cannot believe we have laws in the banking industry called “Know your customer laws” yet in employment we have no “Know your employee laws”. We have an unspoken don’t ask the employee anything except when can you start and explain the type of work. We have laws in banking so we catch money launderers and those who are working hard to not pay taxes they owe. So it is okay for the government to enforce those laws through private enterprise, but it is not okay for employers to ask questions to protect homeland security and save themselves from embarrassment. Of course in this case it is not a crime to hire someone who gave you false information, and we cannot collect damages from a company who followed the employment laws? So what the hell do we do here? We want to help enforce the law as well, so do all true Americans. But we have so many laws in place that keep us from helping the situation. Incidentally the workers who were handcuffed called us at 7 am morning two-days later and are ready to work and asked what time to meet. They were picked up at 9 am hand cuffed and stamped and deported that day. They were back in one day ready to work within 2 days. Some border patrol we have, what a complete joke; protecting America, me ass? Why not implant a homing devise in these illegals and track them by satellite and find out the leaks in the system and plug them; Homeland Security or Homey Land of opportunity. You step up border patrol and catch these people and document on a board the number of deportees, yet they come the day back into the country. This is a true story you can call me for more information. We have half a notion to go to the border patrol and give them free truck wash every morning and ask them to run the workers records and remove them from the crew. Eventually the yellow truck will be known for not hiring illegals. A few weeks of that and every one who comes to work for us from Ready Labor will know it. Is this what we have to do to plug the system? Can’t the border patrol guys figure it out; then we will? If you cannot enforce our borders then open them.

A major holiday and major sporting events (like the Super Bowl, World Cup or NCAA Basketball Tournament) are a few of these possible distractions.As people begin to think about, talk about and focus on these events, their focus may leave their work. Think about it: how many tournament brackets are filled out on office time? How much Christmas shopping gets done online at the office every year?This change of focus can lead to significant losses of productivity. As leaders we can’t remove the distractions – the events will still occur. Our job instead is to do what we can to recognize and take advantage of the situation however we can.I suggest the GAME approach to maintaining focus and productivity in the face of these outside distractions. Let me explain.G – Gauge the real level of interest.A – Acknowledge the potential distraction.M – Motivate employees by We know they are overcharging but for temporary extra labor for one day it is worth it.

The rolling top on these computer desks can cover all the computer peripherals from the monitor, keyboard and the CPU to other fittings like CD holders, printers, scanners, and others.Roll top computer desks have a great variety of advantages. Roll top computer desks are especially useful if they are in a public domain like the living room. Roll top computer desks are often provided with locks to protect from damage or theft.Roll top computer desks are usually made of wood like solid oak or cherry. In addition, roll top desks are sometimes fitted with wheels so that they can be moved around the house. When the top is rolled down, such a desk looks like a normal piece of furniture, and can even be converted into a coffee table. They have raised panel slides or solid ply backs, and can be fitted with additional storage files and other drawers. A door can also be fitted for the CPU and Incidentally the workers who were handcuffed called us at 7 am morning two-days later and are ready to work and asked what time to meet.

We called the border Patrol and they said they could not pick him up unless we knew for sure he was illegal. We said well you picked him up yesterday is he suddenly legal now? Can you prove it? No, all we can prove is your system does not work and that Labor Ready is doing an injustice to its customers, stockholders and this country by not enforcing the laws of our land; the same laws, which have provided economic wealth to them over the years. Are they doing this all over the country? Yes.So, you just bought your first thermal transfer printer and now you have to find the perfect label for your printing application.Thermal printers are great for printing shipping labels, warehouse rack labels, barcode labels, asset labels and product identification labels. Choosing the right label material can be one of the most important decisions you make. If you are printing shipping labels or barcode identification labels for retail, the label does not have that long of a shelf life. A simple thermal transfer label and wax ribbon combo will work just fine or even a direct thermal. Keep in mind that direct thermal labels are heat sensitive and can fade and blacken over time. Direct thermal tends to be more expensive than thermal transfer labels, but you don't have to change out a ribbon or factor in that cost.Perhaps you will need to print location or rack labels for your warehouse or maybe a shipping label that will be on a product outside. N The manager of Labor Ready said they did not like the laws either, but they needed to make a living and the companies need workers. So does this mean that Labor Ready who has offices all over Texas never disclosed this to their stockholders or customers? Yes it does, which is a gray area at least and a violation of disclosure law at best. The truth here is that no one cares. We make rules to appease the masses who vote for these things and tell the people we are saving them from terrorists. What about terrorists who are dark skinned and speak Spanish? What if a Middle Easterner spoke Spanish and was a terrorist and told the others he snuck over the border with he was from Argentina, they would not know either. And the business owner would hire them through a temp agency, who was making money off the business owner pointing to employment laws and said, well they had fake paperwork not my fault. Maybe it is not the border patrol’s fault but shunning responsibility does not save us from the next attack. Either we are worried about the next attack or we are not. I want someone to call me from the INS or Border Patrol to discuss this and I want a satisfactory answer or we will take this true story and document it and send it to the media one day before we send it to all the Congressmen and Senators. If we are not worried about terrorists then tell us. If we are, then fix the leaks. Why does it take 10 years to fix problems, when international terrorist groups only wait 3-5 years between acts? Good question worth answering and with all the BS and rhetoric we are seeing opposition from the Hispanic Chambers of Commerce and Hispanic Politicians. With 65% of the population of San Antonio Hispanic who do not want these laws at all, then extend the Mexican Border to include San Antonio TX as a free zone. Why not make it all of Texas and we can then defend the borders of Texas, which can be a free zone with Mexico. If you are just going to give it lip service and not fix the leaks of illegals then open the borders and forget it. This is pathetic. We know how to enforce the borders and we give out fines to businesses who do not comply, yet allow free entry by anyone who can walk. I am surprised we have not made ADA mandated border crossings for those in wheel chairs or are asthmatically challenged. Put in 1 foot per 1 inch inclines over the Rio Grande for those in wheel chairs and then nice sidewalks all the way to Washington D.C. so they can have a baby and run for Congress or become a radical speech writer and proponent of mass demonstrations and riots. You think I am kidding don’t you. I am serious all this is so fake and such a ridiculous waste of breath and tax payers money. End of Employment Law, Part I
