My son is 17 and Missouri law prohibits those under 21 to handle alcohol. My son works for a 91M locally owned company & the warehouse guys drink either on the job (management) or after hours on the company property. One of my son's "requirements" is to keep ice on the bosses beer. I found out today, that the boss has been treating my son similar to a slave making him retrieve his beers for him, making him refill his beer cooler and the boss throwing his beer cans at my son when he's done making my son pick them up and throw them away. This is unlawful practice but the boss has been there for 20+ years and keeps the beer cooler hidden from upper management in a store room under a deadbolt and pad lock...the boss continually threatens my son and nephew (16), who also works there, if they don't do what he tells them to do he says he will fire them. They love their job but really can't stand this alcoholic he really treats them more like slaves - continually screaming at them/disrespectfu

I am in 8th grade and the school is doing this fundraiser for kids who can't afford to go on a field trip where kids sell Hershey with or without almonds, take 5, and Reeces peanut butter cups, kitkats, and carmelloes. however, there were so many people selling the boxes of candy alongside me, that the chances of somebody buying from me were one in a billion, making it hard to make any money.
I decided to buy butterfingers, mini recees, snickers, and kitkats from Casco because they are really popular and i make much more profit from selling Casco candy than school fundraiser candy, but people are telling me its illegal. I explained to them that i checked the candy for "no individual sail" text and there was none. Also, Casco candy was designed for people to sell because of the big boxes, from my understanding. My question is, is it illegal to sell candy you get at a store for a fundraiser? I am NOT lying when I say all the profits go directly into my hopefully possible fieldtrip.

I sent a letter out as first class (it was only one ounce) on Nov. 27, and it still hasn't arrived there yet. It usually takes 2-4 days for my letters to reach people. I live in IL, and it was sent to her university in NJ. She says that the mailing system there is super slow, so I should wait a couple more days... I'm still worried though, so could anyone give me some information about mail sent to universities? It is usually really slow? It's almost the holidays, so I'm putting that into consideration, but it's been about a week now (not including Sunday)... What's the longest amount of time it could possibly take? Thanks!

I am a General Manager in California,my salary was $5900 month 45 hrs. a week no over-time....I'm now being paid $27.24 an hr. and I can now get paid for over-time with a maximum of 15 hrs. a week(55 hr week). I feel like this is highway robbery!!!!! I'm getting paid less then I was when I was salary. Of course if I work the overtime I will equal make more in over-time, but this is not fair. They used a system of 55 hours a week as a average for all management in divide by 52 weeks. How are they going to use hours against us that they never paid us for because we could not get over-time...Please I need help even legal help...

I need some examples of products/services that companies failed to market internationally because of cultural or language barriers.

Example: Chevy Nova translated as "no go" in Spanish.

Does anyone know the implications of the tax break if you have two jobs. One job would qualify as self employed lets say I made 100,000 on the self employed job and 90,000 for the second job. If I use the vehicle to travel to my second job does this reduce my tax credit? Also I wanted to buy the Range Rover Sport, they claim I can get a tax break of 35,600 dollars in the first year. Does this mean my taxable income for my self employment is reduced to 64,400? I plan on buying the suv in early 2008.
