Unrest

Local government control, nationali2ation, and pohtical unrest also can cause shortages, and business manipulations to alter prices and supply are common. [Pg.24]

Labor productivity is very much dependent on the health and well-being of the workers and also on the availability of laborsaving tools and construction equipment. The frequency of strikes, hohdays, slowdowns, and pohtical unrest will also depress productivity. Closed-shop practices or demarcation disputes will also affect the productivity of labor. The use of standard equipment, parts, and methods tends to improve productivity. [Pg.876]

Failure to meet this demand will result in extensive social evils such as poverty, starvation, unrest, epidemics, riots, andwars. [Pg.26]

In the late 1960s Baton Rouge and other areas of Louisiana were noted for labor unrest. Conditions became so bad that in 1967 a dozen companies voluntarily stopped 350,000,000 worth of new construction that was in progress. This specific shutdown, which involved 15,000 workers, was the result of jurisdictional dispute between the teamsters union and the electrical workers union. This also caused other companies to change their plans about locating in Louisiana.26... [Pg.47]

Normal conditions mean that only minor amounts of overtime are involved, that an adequate number of competent tradesmen can be found, and that scheduled delivery times for equipment and supplies will be met. No provisions are made for work stoppages or slowdowns due to labor unrest. [Pg.237]

The world s overdependence on fossil fuels has created environmental problems, such as air pollution and global warming, as well as political and economic unrest. LUith water as its only by-product and its availability in all parts of the world, hydrogen promises to be the next great fuel source. [Pg.613]

The two most important environmental hazards faced by humankind today are air pollution and global warming. Both have a direct link with our current overdependence on fossil fuels. Pollutants produced from combustion of hydrocarbons now cause even more health problems due to the urbanization of world population. The net increase in environmental carbon dioxide from combustion is a suspect cause for global warming, which is endangering the Earth—the only known place to support human life. In addition, the import of expensive hydrocarbon fuel has become a heavy burden on many countries, causing political and economic unrest. [Pg.621]

With the fast-growing, in fact revolutionary, unrest in Austria, the completion of the deal must have become very urgent for the Jews, Mr. Pollack and Mr. Joham. [Pg.98]

Unfortunately most hydrocarbon facilities are key political instruments for international affairs. Numerous terrorist activities have been directed towards these installations, either as figurative demonstrations or for real intent of destruction. Additionally industrial facilities can become the target of labor unrest. [Pg.246]

Those were times of great turmoil in the region. Terrorist attacks could be expected with alarming frequency as the British prepared to withdraw. Because of the unrest, Mark and the Planning Committee set-up and operated the Institute s instruments in Brooklyn until the political situation stabilized. [Pg.117]

Emergency response plans (ERPs) are nothing new to chemical industries, since many have developed ERPs to deal with natural disasters, accidents, violence in the workplace, civil unrest, and so on. Because chemical industries are a vital part and ingredient of our way of life, it has been prudent for chemical industries to develop ERPs in order to help ensure the continuous flow of water to the community. However, many chemical industry ERPs developed prior to 9/11 do not explicitly deal with terrorist threats, such as intentional fire, explosion, or contamination. Recently, the U.S. Congress and federal regulators have required chemical industries to prepare or revise, as necessary, an ERP to reflect the findings of their vulnerability assessment and to address terrorist threats. [Pg.105]

The bio-fuels industry development shows that transforming food into fuel could lead the world economy into the potential for social unrest, leaving the global economy in the hands of politics and not in the hands of the global market. [Pg.21]

Certain individuals are especially likely to experience, or to have already experienced, a traumatic event. Trauma exposure is more likely among military personnel or those working in emergency services, for example, police officers, firefighters, or emergency medical technicians. In addition, those who have recently emigrated from war zones or regions of civil unrest are likely to have been exposed to a traumatic event. [Pg.168]

Antipsychotics are calming medications used to counteract marked inner unrest, psychomotor agitation and severe insomnia. These states can arise within the following contexts ... [Pg.3]
