Law & Ethics - August 2007

I fell and cut my head open at work. It was a pretty serious cut. Serious enough to where the ER doc think I will have to have plastic surgery to save from hurting my eye sight down the road. I reported to my supervisor who inturn sent me to the "Company" nurse. She put cream on the cut and then a bandaid. Never once asked to demanded I go to ER (save on companies loss work policy). Went back to work next night and demanded to go to ER. After a huge arguement and the involvement of my union president I was able to go. ER doc said she couldn't believe I wasn't sent there when it happened. Went to work (on light duty) tonight and got a pounding headache half way through night. Asked to go home (called for a ride of course), they initally told me know until I more or less said I'm leaving weahter you like it or not. Would like to know if anyone knows the Workers Comp laws and if they were obligated to send me to Er being it was a head trauma work related accident. Please help

Everyday hundreds of innocent women and children are paying the price of their illegal and unjustified attack on Iraq.They have no moral mandate to prosecute and condemn other similer dictators and warmongers. What they have done in Iraq is equal to genocide and mass murder which is still going on everyday. The CIA is abducting innocent people everyday illegally in the name of terrorism. Even the moderate Muslims will turn against the Americans.The tactics Americans are adapting is back firing severely and they are too thick to realise this. Islam is here to stay do whatever you wish you will not prevail whatever the cost.

I want to combine two songs (that are the same, but by different people), so it goes back & forth (from one artist to the other). It's just for fun, but the original song has a license...

According to the license I can:
Share — to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work

Under the following conditions:
Attribution. You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

Noncommercial. You may not use this work for commercial purposes.

No Derivative Works. You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.

& It says that "all commercial rights are reserved", what does that mean? Does that mean that I'll get sued if I use it, or does that mean that I am allowed?

I am in a three person partnership. 1 partner will be buying me out and will become sole owner of the company. We didn't form a buyout agreement when we formed the company a year ago. My partner said she would have a buyout agreement drafted, but I have obvious concerns with having someone else's attorney draft an agreement for me. Can I have my attorney draft one for me or is it the right of the other partner to present me with the buyout agreement he has drafted? Do I have to accept his agreement?

I realize I will definitely need to see my attorney about this one, but would like to know if anyone else has gone through the same situation.

Hi all, I currently have a Shared Parenting Plan with my ex, concerning our 8 year old son. Recently he has seperated from his wife, and is now living with his girlfriend at her mothers. I have concerns of where my child is going to go to school, because he no longer has a place of his own, nor the time to get him to school, because his wife had done it all. I just recently found out that he has a suspended license and a bench warrant. What I really need is someone who may be a lawyer, who can tell me if I have to release my son back to him with these conditions. I am deperate and need some advice. I have already filed for full custody, but that isn't good enough, because we haven't been to court.

At our weekly staff meeting, employees at my place of business were informed by head management that there have been reports to our General Office regarding employee's MySpace pages. We were all told that anything derogatory regarding the company or people who worked within that was displayed on an employee's MySpace page would be dealt with "harshly" up to and including termination. A fellow employee had, just days before, posted a blog venting about our place of business and certain management. She did not name names, she did not include the company name in her blog or anything of the like. My question is: can an employee be terminated because of what they do "off the clock" if it is not illegal? Bear in mind, I live in an "at-will" state, which means you are employed at the will of the employer and can be fired for no particular reason at all, so the law about it is a bit sticky. Thanks.

It does not take a political genius to know that Democrats have no possibility for victory if the Iraq situation improves drastically before the Presidential election. I am not slamming on any party nor do I need to hear again your opinions concerning this administration. I think most honest people can agree that this war was not entirely justified or properly executed. It is just a little depressing to know that some politicians deep inside would not want our troops and foreign policies to succeed. I guess they always have the Cuban healthcare platform. Anyone that believes our government can oversee healthcare needs to visit their local VA hospital. It is also ironic that people come from all over the world for healthcare.

The war on terror is the real women's issue

Feminists whine about life in the West but they won't fight the bigger issue

Anyone can beat up post-feminist neutered Western Males!
Why not pick on a target worth the effort ??

Don't forget the Muslims agenda! Remember Marc Lepine ? He was born Gamil Gharbi , the son of an Algerian Muslim wife beater--Though you wouldn't know that from the press coverage

Men enjoy the right to rape women under Muslim law all over the world and the number of countries under sharai law have only increased in the last 50 years --so more and more women have lost the right to CONTROL THEIR BODIES.

Does anyone have any know all about independent contractors? I was working as an independent contractor for two companies (pretty much as an employee). I had told one company that I was working for another and the boss of the company I told called the other company I was working for and informed them of my employment with them. To add fuel to the fire the bosses then went over my schedule for the previous month to see if I double booked them( I did not). Is this legal?? I never signed any waiver that I would not work for any competitors or such but I just dont know if I have any rights against the employer who made those phone calls..
