Summarises some findings from recent empirical research into the factors influencing the incidence of claims of unfair dismissal to industrial tribunals. Using a paired comparison case study method it focuses, primarily, on small businesses and small establishments, seeking to explore significant variations. These include the presence or absence of written disciplinary procedures, their mode of operation, content and meaning, and management style and consistency. Qualitative insights include the prevalence of informal first approaches to perceived employee shortcomings and the influence of overall employee assessment in selective disciplinary action. Contrary to earlier research in small businesses it finds little principled management opposition or resentment to the introduction of written disciplinary procedures, with managers highlighting the assistance they give to them when taking disciplinary action.

The history of the communist Sudanese Movement for National Liberation (SMNL) is traced from its organizational stage in Egypt in the mid-1940s through 1949. The SMNL was hastily set up because of the progress of talks between Egypt & GB over the future of Sudan after WWII, the harsh measures the Egyptian government was taking to expel groups obstructing the negotiations, & the need for the Egyptian Movement for National Liberation to have political reach into Sudan. The SMNL took its organizational form from its small size & the need for secrecy & indoctrination. The first executive committee, composed of 10 northern Sudanese, ages 19-22, was appointed for an indefinite term by the leadership, & this led to later resentment of the party leadership by older members & those in other regions.

Examines multilevel marketing in the light of the relationship between the would‐be seller and his/her perspective "downline." States that people promoting multilevel marketing praise it as an opportunity of a lifetime with no catch. Claims that there is indeed a serious catch: the conventional process of promoting this so‐called opportunity to friends and virtually everyone else in someone's circle of acquaintance is, for the most part, unacceptable in western society. Maintains that truly determined sellers may well make money, but most will not, capitulating rather in the face of rejection ranging from disinterest to serious disapproval and resentment of the matter having being raised at all. Shows the conventional defences raised by proponents of multilevel marketing to be seriously flawed if not quite spurious.

Suggestions for welfare reform are offered & the welfare debate, from the early 1960s to the present, is reviewed, showing that the Left was largely silenced in the debate by its own loss of confidence in the idea of the welfare state. It is argued that the two most pressing problems in contemporary welfare programs -- inadequate benefits & the demeaning treatment of beneficiaries -- will not be solved by decentralization, universalization, or community participation. Federal income maintenance programs are advocated because they are more equitable & less susceptible to local business pressures & the politics of resentment that is encouraged by regressive state tax policies. It is concluded that welfare reform should begin with the restoration of benefits in the means-tested & unemployment programs that bear directly on labor power & class inequalitites. W. Howard

An analysis is offered of the root causes of the 1991 war in Iraq, based on observations made along the borders of Pakistan & Afghanistan in Mar & Apr 1991. The destruction of Iraqi logistics & weapons systems was organized as a demonstration of western technological superiority with racist overtones. This racism was met by anti-Western emotions & an intensified Islamic campaign to destabilize other Arab states, leading to a rupture in traditional military alliances. Saddam Hussein's incoherent military strategy & low credibility in his call for a holy war shattered the concept of Islamic mobilization. However, anti-Western demonstrations in many Islamic countries show the intense resentments harbored by victims of colonial oppression & economic underdevelopment. The second war in the Persian Gulf could advance the development of free intercultural contacts. Adapted from the source document by M. Meeks.

This article describes a training program to increase supervisory skills in manpower agencies. Supervisors taking part in this program were employed by a state manpower agency in Maryland and trainers were university faculty in rehabilitation counselor education. Reading material and structured assignments combining cognitive and affective material were given, but there was much freedom within the program for participant feedback. Some of these suggestions were used to revise the program as it progressed. Affective activities employed included relaxation, guided fantasy, role playing, and microcounseling. Participants' reactions ranged from satisfaction with the useful skills provided to resentment at the selection method for the training and the time involved, which made further progress impossible. The majority of the participants suggested recommendations for further training of this nature.

This book explores the economic factors that led to Britain forfeiting its North American colonies. Placing discussions within both a historical and political context, the development of the colonial economy is examined in relation to both slavery and the industrial revolution. In turn, changes to British tax policy post-1760 and the increased burden placed on American taxpayers are detailed, alongside the resentment and resistance to them. These factors, as well as nonimportation agreements and boycotts, are highlighted as the major motivations for the American Revolution. This book aims to provide an accessible foundation to the economic and political issues central to Britains colonial activities in North America. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the political economy and economic history. Gerald Pollio, PhD was formerly affiliated with Fordham University, London Study Centre.

What makes it so difficult to enact and sustain comprehensive social welfare policy that would aid the disadvantaged in the United States? Addressing the relationship between populism and social welfare, this book argues that two competing camps of populists divide American politics. Regressive populists motivated by racial resentment frequently clash with progressive populists, who embrace an expansion of social welfare benefits for the less affluent, regardless of race or ethnicity. Engstrom and Huckfeldt uncover the political forces driving this divided populism, its roots in the aftermath of the civil rights revolution of the mid-twentieth century, and its implications for modern American politics and social welfare policy. Relying on a detailed analysis of party coalitions in the US Congress and the electorate since the New Deal, the authors focus on the intersection between race, class, and oligarchy.

The family is a major area of scholarly research and public debate. Many studies have explored the English family in the 16th and 17th centuries, focusing on husbands and wives, parents and children. 'The Ties that Bind' explores in depth the other key dimension: the place of brothers and sisters in family life, and in society. Moralists urged mutual love and support between siblings, but recognized that sibling rivalry was a common and potent force. The widespread practice of primogeniture made England distinctive. The eldest son inherited most of the estate and with it, a moral obligation to advance the welfare of his brothers and sisters. 'The Ties that Bind' explores how this operated in practice, and shows how the resentment of younger brothers and sisters made sibling relationships a heated issue in this period, in family life, in print, and also on the stage
