Why We Need Labor Unions After All | Daily Ticker There are many reasons why some executives don't like labor unions. They can create an "us versus them" culture within companies and organizations, instead of putting everyone on the same teamThey can create a culture of entitlementThey can restrict flexibility and hurt competitivenessThey can drive companies to move jobs out of the country, to places where there are no unionsThey can become career employment for their leaders, who pay themselves well (much better than the workers they're representing)They can maintain ludicrous compensation and benefit levels for jobs based purely on seniorityThey can force companies to treat all union employees equally, regardless of the relative skill and value of particular employees--thus reducing incentives for people to do a great jobEtc. But unions came into being because company owners weren't sharing enough of their companies' wealth with the rank-and-file employees who helped produce it. But now the pendulum has swung too far the other way.

I'm Michel Martin. But first we want to talk about another issue that is very much old and new in this country and that is immigration. Also yesterday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, announced it is releasing some illegal immigrants from jails across the country because of budget cuts that we're calling sequestration. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Passing a background check, paying taxes, paying a penalty, learning English, and then going to the back of the line behind all of the folks who are trying to come here legally. REPRESENTATIVE MARCO RUBIO: You have to stand in line. REPRESENTATIVE BOB MENENDEZ: And then we will have a process where they'll have to wait at the end of the line. MITT ROMNEY: And then ultimately you've got to go home, apply for permanent residency here or citizenship if you want to try and do that. No.

Les caractéristiques d'un objectif - Objectifs (objectif) Comme promis, une explication sur les objectifs sachant que je ne pourrais pas tout mettre ici car beaucoup de choses se rapportent à l'objectif et que je me limiterais à l'utilisation en numérique : Quels sont les caractéristiques qui définissent un objectif ou une optique (lense en anglais) ? - Sa fabrication : un objectif est composé de lentilles dont le but est de former une image sur la surface sensible, autrement dit sur le capteur. La qualité et le nombre des lentilles jouent énormément sur la qualité de l'objectif. - Sa focale : C'est ce qui va déterminer le grossissement observé au travers de l'objectif ou plus précisément la distance en millimètre qui sépare le capteur de ton objectif (là où les rayons de lumière commencent à converger vers ton capteur), lorsque la mise au point est faite sur l'infini. Il existe deux types de focales : les focales fixes (pas de zoom) et les focales variables. . [u]La focale variable[/u] vous l'aurez compris permet donc d'avoir un zoom. ).
