If the ratio of union workers to non-union workers is 2 3 and there are 360 non-union workers,... 

Here, you are given a 2 3 ratio. You know one part that there are 360 non-union workers. You can set up a proportion in order to calculate the unknown part, y =... 

Divide both sides by 3 to get = 240. This is the missing part the number of union workers. Finally, add the number of union workers to non-union workers to get the whole 360-1- 240 = 600. Thus, the correct answer is c. 

Union and non-union parking areas should be separate. 

The rates for non-union labor may be somewhat lower (5-10%) than for union labor but, generally, they are competitive and no credit should be taken in the estimate without an area labor survey. 

The potential advantage of using non-union labor is in the lower percentage of time lost because of stringent union work rules. However, this advantage can easily be offset by lower productivity resulting from poor training of the non-union labor pool. 

The area is essentially non-union and most of the qualified craftsmen are controlled by the local contractors. 

In unionized organizations, the agent or steward serves as employees advocate (although R D scientists are seldom part of a labor union) in non-union companies, the Human Relations department usually fills that role. Seldom is management viewed as an advocate for workers, and rarely does management perceive itself that way. In fact, employees often consider the boss a powerful adversary—the very reason they need an advocate Surely productivity, not to mention loyalty and enthusiasm, suffers when workers and management consider themselves adversaries.

Very active researches concern this family of drug targets in the fields of cancer, angiogenesis and bone therapy. Dibotermin alfa (rhBMP2), a recombinant form of BMP is accepted for the treatment of acute tibia fractures in adults, as an adjunct to standard care using open fracture reduction and intramedullary nail fixation in patients in whom there is a substantial risk of non-union. Three platforms of TGF-(3... 

Hourly workers struggle to maintain production in the face of disabled or ignored alarms, undocumented and often uncontrollable bypasses of established components, operating levels that exceed design limits, postponed and severely reduced turnaround maintenance and increasing maintenance on hot units by untrained, temporary non-union contract workers.156...

The TRB (1991) noted, Many new-entrant carriers offered services with non-union labor and were encumbered by few of the work rales that had developed in the imionized firms. For example, a CRS report (Belous, 1986) cites salary differentials equal to a factor of two or three between established airlines and new entrants serving the same market in the early 1980s. Moreover,... 

The overall safety performance of the railroad industry tends to be dominated by the performance of the largest railroads. Therefore, investigating the relative safety performance of the smaller railroads may shed further light on the relationship between economic deregulation and safety performance. In particular, some of the financial distress in the railroad industry was attributed to the requirement to continue service on improfitable lines. Once railroads could abandon these unprofitable lines, financial conditions improved and so did safety performance. However, abandonment of small lines resulted in a proliferation of small railroads that provided service on lines abandoned by the larger Class I railroads. Many of these smaller railroads are non-union and are able to operate at a profit because of lower labor costs (Savage, 1998). 

Industry observers generally expect the majority of the nuclear power industry to remain heavily unionized after deregulation, as did the U.S. aviation and rail industries. For example. Miller (1998, pg. 27), in an article about the process of plant acquisition, states that Operating non-union is almost never an option for the buyer, since the seller typically has gained workforce and community support by requiring a union-fiiendly transaction. Similarly, Public Utilities Fortnightly associate editor Schuler (1999, pg. 56) states that Nearly all [of the utility vice presidents that he surveyed] recognize the roles of unions in the future employee mix. Thus, unions will undoubtedly continue to be players in the industry.

The main reason for reduction is to improve a severe cosmetic deformity and to restore sagittal balance, which is defined as a plumb line extending from C7 to the posterior superior corner of the SI vertebral body. A reduction minimalises the risk of non-union and prevents further progression of the slip better than in situ fusion. 

CT is also helpful to follow fracture healing, particularly when mal or non-union (Fig. 3.2), myositis ossificans or pseudarthrosis development are suspected on plain radiographs. Those fractures involving the epiphyseal (growth) plates have the potential to interfere with later growth. Bone bridge formation and its consequent deformities are easy to illustrate with CT.

Highly comminuted or segmental fractures may require internal fixation because of their inherent instability (Fig. 8.9). Open reduction increases the risk of complications, particularly in the case of high energy injuries with severe soft tissue injury. Further insult in the form of surgery will increase the risk of infection and delayed/non-union.

The use of scintigraphy to diagnose infection in children should no longer be standard practice. Technetium 99 labelled methylene diphospho-nate is taken up by osteoblasts in areas of increased bone turnover, whether this be infection or trauma. Indium-111 labelled leukocyte scans are more specific because leukocytes are not involved in the normal bone healing response (Seabold 1991), but the radioactive dose is considerable. By combining technetium and indium labelled studies, it has been reported that sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 84% can be achieved when diagnosing infected fracture non-unions (Nepola 1993).
