What did the framers of the Constitution have in mind when creating this verbiage of the amendment?

Your written assignment for this week is designed to help you identify important procedural protections and wording in the Bill of Rights. Read and carefully study the wording of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments. These are often the amendments associated with criminal justice issues and the procedural rights of suspects in a criminal case. As you review and study the wording, consider who prepared the wording of the amendments and the era in which they were written. These amendments are often criticized for being vague, ambiguous and dated. One of the roles of the US Supreme Court is to interpret these amendments and provide clarity in their application. Consider these examples: •The Fourth Amendment provides protection for “unreasonable searches and seizures”. What does unreasonable mean? •The Fifth Amendment provides for “due process of law”. What does this mean? •The Sixth Amendment provides for a “speedy” trial. What constitutes speedy? •The Eighth Amendment protects against “cruel and unusual punishment”. What types of actions constitute cruel and unusual punishment? Choose one of the examples above. Write a 2-3 page paper that addresses the following questions. Do not write in a question/answer format; the assignment should be in paragraph form that incorporates the question and the answer. 1.Identify the historical context of the example. What did the framers of the Constitution have in mind when creating this verbiage of the amendment? What was happening in the world to prompt the inclusion of this? 2.Identify a US Supreme Court decision that provided interpretation and clarity of the example. Include the citation of the case. 3.Provide a summary of the original (lower court) case. 4.What were the legal issues being considered? 5.What did the US Supreme Court decide? How did the court provide clarity in the interpretation of the amendment? 6.What were the primary concerns with the dissenting opinion(s)?

Review guidelines on dispute resolution and grievance procedures for the company’s owner.

After spending some time observing the day-to-day operations of Elora Jean & Co., you have noticed a trend in employee and labor relations issues. These issues include perceived unfair treatment from managers, distress over disciplinary actions, and anxiety about new human resources (HR) policies.

Aware of the union and nonunion entities within Elora Jean & Co., you have observed that the production supervisors are unclear on the facility’s union grievance procedures, and the nonproduction supervisors are unclear on how to handle employee concerns in their offices. Employees often feel that they do not have the means to fully voice their concerns. With this level of confusion on grievance procedures, employee morale and performance has begun to decline, affecting Elora Jean & Co.’s ability to stay competitive.

As the HR consultant, you see an opportunity to educate Elora Jean & Co.’s management team on grievance practices. You decide to review guidelines on dispute resolution and grievance procedures and prepare a presentation for the company’s owner.

Prepare a presentation on developing a work climate in which grievances are a last resort and how to properly address them when they do occur. Your presentation should include the following components:

  • Include recommendations on a strategy that Elora Jean & Co. can incorporate to proactively avoid grievances. Your recommendation should include a way to create an environment in which employee issues are identified and addressed before they move into a formal grievance process. Recommendations for creating positive employee relations should be discussed.
  • Include recommendations for a dispute resolution process for the nonunion offices. Your proposal should include a sample procedure for nonunion employees to follow when complaints arise.
  • Present step-by-step guidelines for handling grievances in the production facility. Your presentation should include recommendations for investigating complaints, working effectively with union representatives, and summarizing supervisor responsibilities. Include cautions about actions to avoid when handling grievances.
  • Include a proposal for training to educate the line managers on handling grievances and avoiding grievances to ensure violations do not occur. Specifically, discuss the areas that such training should cover.

  2. Does the company have a sense of propriety?
  3. How honestly do product claims match with reality?

  5. How does the company treat its employees?
  6. How does the company handle third-party ethics issues?
  7. How charitable is the company?
