The Australian Retailers Association (ARA) says the United Workers Union, who are blocking gates at the centres, should allow workers to turn up to work if they wish. “Everyone has the right to feel safe at work, and industrial action should not impede on workers wishing to carry out their everyday duties," the ARA's Fleur Brown said. “If an employee wishes to return to work, they should be able to do so without fear of retribution." Brown also said that Australians need access to vital food and grocery products particularly in the lead-up to Christmas. “This is the busiest period for retailers and shoppers which places great demand on the supply of these products with a flow-on effect to many Australians," she said. The strike has lasted two weeks now with the union and supermarket at loggerheads over conditions and pay. Here's one you might have missed as it came through yesterday evening.

by Linda Straker Tuesday, 3 December 2024 marks 40 years since the country held its first general election following the collapse of the People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) in October 1983. That election was won by the New National Party (NNP), whose leader, Herbert A Blaize, died in office. The previous election was held in December 1976, won by the Grenada United Labour Party (GULP) with Sir Eric Gairy as the leader. However, on 13 March 1979, his government was overthrown by military revolutionaries led by Maurice Bishop. One of the first declarations of the revolution was that Grenada’s constitution was suspended. As Maurice Bishop, the leader of the PRG, was not an elected Prime Minister as guided by the constitution, he should not be referred to as Prime Minister, but as Revolutionary Leader — but we will debate that another time. After the collapse of the revolution and all the challenges that came with it, the Queen’s representative at the time, Governor-General Sir Paul Scoon, appointed an Interim Advisory Council led by Sir Nicholas Brathwaite to administer the affairs of the country until the 1984 election. The other members of that advisory council were Meredith Alister McIntyre, Arnold M Cruikshank, James De Vere Pitt, Patrick Emmanuel, Allan Kirton, Christopher Williams, Joan Purcell, and Raymond Smith. Fast-forward 40 years. Since the NNP won that election and parliament became the People’s House, the NNP is now the official opposition, and a trending discussion these days is the future leadership of that party. Although it won the 1984 General Election, by 1987 the Union Island Alliance/Coalition which established the NNP was beginning to crumble. In 1987, George Brizan and Francis Alexis could no longer see themselves as part of that accommodation and gave birth to the National Democratic Congress (NDC). By its 1989 convention, the delegates voted in a new leader, splitting the coalition further, and for the 1990 General Election, the NDC was in control of administering the affairs of the country. Since then, under the leadership of Dr Keith Mitchell, the NNP has experienced highs and lows. One may say its greatest low was during the 1990 to 1995 period when the NNP had only 2 seats in the Lower House of Parliament, but those of us who paid attention to the news could never forget how loud Dr Mitchell’s voice was during those “lonely days.” He spoke so long on a budget presentation that there were new rules in the standing orders by the next budget presentation. During the past 40 years, the party won 6 general elections, 3 of which awarded all the seats in the Lower House; while the NDC won 3. NNP was born as a coalition, and over the years, based on its core principles, there have been several accommodations based on “forgiveness.” As the party approaches what I consider a turning point convention, will the delegates once again experience “accommodation of convenience”, or has 40 years taught the party and its delegates that its core principles and ideals have reached the stage for a complete makeover?Transgender Activist Says Trying To Stop Men From Using Women’s Restrooms Will Be ‘Last Mistake You Ever Make’

St. Paul, MN, Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ergodyne has collaborated with other leading safety equipment manufacturers and the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) in the creation of a standard for solutions aimed at reducing injuries caused by head impacts with stationary objects. This falls under a category of personal protective equipment (PPE) known as bump caps . This voluntary industry consensus standard, designated as ISEA 100, has recently received approval from ISEA committee members and is currently undergoing a formal review process. Upon finalization, release, and adoption, this standard will provide manufacturers with a consistent guideline for classification, test procedures, and performance requirements for bump caps. It is anticipated that the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) will subsequently adopt the safety standard in conjunction with ISEA, resulting in the designation ANSI/ISEA 100. There is a critical gap in workplace head protection: the risk of bumps, scrapes, and cuts from low ceilings, overhead objects, or tight spaces in settings where traditional hard hats or safety helmets are not required or even practical. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), injuries to the head account for roughly 78,000 injuries resulting in at least one day away from work every year in the private sector. (BLS reported 156,000 in the two-year period from 2021-22). Of those, a mere 7.2% occurred in construction, where hard hats are most likely being worn. Meanwhile, service workers (who may or may not be wearing hard hats) account for 22.1% of head injuries. Transportation and material moving make up another 20.6%. "And those workers (in transportation and material moving) are likely not wearing hard hats or even bump caps," says Ergodyne President and ISEA Trustee Greg Schrab. Schrab has led the effort from ISEA's Head Protection Group in developing the standard. "These two occupational sectors have more than six times the amount of head injuries than construction... so obviously the need for a safety solution is there." To date, there had not been a US standard for bump cap manufacturers to reference. ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (R2019) – American National Standard for Industrial Head Protection is the current edition of the American National Standard for hard hats and does not cover bump caps. "When a standard is referenced, it is usually (the European bump cap standard) EN812," says Schrab. "It's serviceable as a reference in the absence of a US standard, but it has its limitations." Most notably, Schrab elaborates, it doesn't address the concept of universal bump cap inserts . Bump cap inserts continue to grow in popularity as they allow wearers to fortify just about any type of headwear with lightweight, relatively unobtrusive impact protection–from baseball caps to winter beanies to wide-brimmed sun hats. ISEA 100 addresses this by adding various testing and language clarity that allows for inserts to meet the standard. ISEA 100, once published, will act as a benchmark for future bump cap development. It shares similar performance requirements with EN812 but permits more flexibility in design to accommodate the diverse needs of workers and various work scenarios. ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) is a professional association for personal protective equipment and technologies that has served as the trade association of safety manufacturers for over 90 years. Their members sponsor and draft standards that can then be adopted by organizations like ANSI. ANSI (American National Standards Institute) is a nearly century-old, private, not-for-profit organization that promotes "voluntary consensus standards." The purpose of ANSI and the standards they and ISEA put forth is to set a level of quality and safety across an entire industry. Because these standards are voluntary, there is no enforcement of them. However, many are recognized as industry best practice. The release date of ISEA 100 has not been finalized.
