According to the U. S. Department of Labor, 69 community colleges and community-based institutions in 36 states have been awarded $125 million in grants to support training programs for high-growth job sectors.
The grants are intended to build the capacity of such institutions to train workers to develop the skills for local industries and occupations that are expected to see strong growth, as well as for industries where the demand for qualified workers is already exceeding the supply.
The program was established in 2005 and awarded 72 grants in its first year. The second round of awards, made in 2006, totaled 70 grants.
The focus of the Community-Based Job Training Grants is to build community colleges' capacity to equip workers with the skills required to succeed in local industries and to fortify the role that community colleges play in advancing the potential of America's workforce.
The Department of Labor (DOL) developed a kind of e-tool, called the elaws Advisor, which can simulate the interaction you might have with an employment law expert. It will ask you a series of questions, evaluate your responses, and provide a list of posters that you should display.
Each Advisor will also provide links to more detailed information you may find useful, and give you DOL contact information for each poster for your further usage.
However, the Advisor only provides information about Federal DOL poster requirements; it does not provide state labor law posting information, or info on certain types of posters required under some Worker’s Compensation laws; the latter may generally be obtained only from DOL's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP).
The state of Ohio has updated their Fair Employment law, adding “Military Status” as a new protective category effective March 23, 2008.
Ohio Governer Ted Strichland has signed into law the Ohio Veterans Package, Substitute House Bill 372. Ohio’s Anti Discrimination law now includes “military status” as a protected class for purposes of employment, housing, and public accommodations. Already included as protected classes under Ohio law are race, color, sex, disability, national origin, age (40& older), ancestry and religion.
The federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) already offers protections for those in military service, but the new Ohio amendments broaden this protection. Ohio employers will now need to include “military status” as a protected category on their Fair Employment labor law postings; the state is in the process of updating and releasing new fair employment law postings as of this writing, on 4/7/08.
On February 27, on the steps of San Francisco City Hall, Assemblywoman Fiona Ma introduced Assembly Bill 2716 (“AB 2716”) which, if passed, would make California the first state in the nation to require employers to provide sick leave benefits to their employees when they are sick or need time to take care of their sick family members. The bill is modeled after a San Francisco law that requires the city's employers to offer paid sick leave. The SF law, the first of its kind in the nation, went into effect last February
Under AB 2716, any employee who works in California for 7 or more days in a calendar year would be entitled to paid sick time, which would accrue at a rate of at least one hour for every thirty hours worked, and no employee could be discriminated against for requesting sick leave. Most employers would be able to limit an employee's use to nine days in each calendar year, and small businesses with a maximum of ten workers would be allowed to limit annual paid sick days to five days. Sick time would carry over from year to year, and an employee would be entitled to use accrued sick time beginning on the 90th calendar day of employment.
Under Ma's bill, paid sick days could be used to cover diagnosis, care, or treatment of health conditions of the employee; they could also be used to care for a sick family member or to recover from a domestic violence or sexual assault.
"Nobody wins when people have to go to work sick," Ma said. "This is just the right thing to do. We here in California want to make sure that when they are sick they do not have to worry about losing their jobs, they do not have to worry about losing a day's pay.” Right now, nearly six million working Californians have no paid sick days through their employers. That's approximately 40 percent of the state's workforce, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The bill was only recently introduced and it is difficult to determine if it will be passed through the Legislature, and whether its form and requirements will change along the way. However, voters would likely support such a law, according to sponsors, who cited a University of California, Los Angeles poll that shows 88 percent of California adults surveyed "agreed or agreed strongly that there should be a law guaranteeing paid sick days for all California workers."
If passed, the law would make California the first state in the country to guarantee paid sick days. Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio and Washington DC, are also considering similar legislation, according to Ma's office.
The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has been amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (NDAA) effective January 28, 2008.
This new law provides eligible employees working for covered employers up to 12 weeks of leave for any qualifying exigency arising out of the covered family member’s active duty and up to 26 weeks of leave in a single 12-month period to care for the covered service member who is recovering from a serious illness or injury.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) only applies to employers that employ 50 or more employees for each working day in the current or previous year.
The existing FMLA posting revision has NOT yet been released by the federal government. After review of the new law is complete, the current FMLA poster, titled “Your Rights under the Family and Medical Leave of 1993” will be revised by the responsible federal agency. The revision will become available sometime between April and July of 2008.

PosterSolution reminds you to post the newly updated labor law poster in your workplace.
Congress approved an increase in federal minimum wage for nearly a decade on May 24.
It would raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour from $5.15 in three stages over two years. The bill includes $4.84 billion in tax breaks for small businesses.
The proposal to raise the federal minimum wage was attached to the $120 billion Iraq war-spending bill, which was vetoed by White House on May 1. The bill was rewritten, and passed both in the House and Senate. In a White House news conference Thursday, President Bush said he would sign the bill.
Workers earned federal minimum wage will get the first raise to $5.85 an hour, 60 days after the measure is signed by Bush. A year later, the minimum wage would rise to $6.55 an hour, and to $7.25 a year after that.
Postersolution will closely monitor the Federal Minimum Wage increase and help you keep in compliance.
Effective April 1, 2007, the state of Iowa will increase its minimum wage rate from the current $5.15 per hour to $6.20 per hour. The minimum training wage will also increase to $5.30 per hour, effective April 1, 2007. Tipped workers will be paid 60% of the new minimum wage, or $3.72 per hour, beginning April 1, 2007.

This increase will make Iowa be the 29th state with a minimum wage higher than the federal rate. About 128,000 Iowa workers who earn less than $5.15 will see a direct wage raise as a result of the new legislation.
