Historically, relations between workers and employers in the United States have often been characterized by the employment-at-wi

ll doctrine, according to which the duration of employment is determined by the employer and the grounds for termination are limited only by the provisions of contracts and specific statutes. Many state courts and legislatures have reevaluated this doctrine and have modified it by expanding the concept of wrongful termination, thereby increasing employer liability. Some economic theorists suggest that such changes tend to reduce employment in states that enact them, because protecting workers against wrongful termination raises the cost of labor to employers: firms will tend to spend more time and money screening potential employees, be reluctant to terminate less-productive workers, and incur greater legal expenses. In a study that took into account differences among states, researchers Dertouzos and Karoly concluded that states with wrongful-termination laws experienced a two percent to five percent drop in their employment rate as a result of adopting these laws. They also found that the impact on employment appears to be smallest in manufacturing, where unions have already institutionalized similar protection, and in small firms, perhaps because those firms' lesser ability to pay damages makes it less profitable for employees to file wrongful-termination lawsuits against them.
The passage suggests which of the following regarding wrongful-termination lawsuits?

A) States that do not implement wrongful-termination laws will probably see an increase in wrongful-termination lawsuits.
B) It is less profitable to file wrongful-termination lawsuits against unionized companies than against companies without unions.
C) A wrongful-termination lawsuit is less costly to a company than continuing the employment of an unproductive worker.
D) Obtaining financial compensation is an important motivation for filing wrongful-termination lawsuits.
E) Those who file wrongful-termination lawsuits are likely to be awarded larger settlements under the employment-at-will doctrine than under wrongful-termination laws.

Answer:

D) Obtaining financial compensation is an important motivation for filing wrongful-termination lawsuits.

Explanation:

A wrongful-termination lawsuit is an incentive for employees to suit their employers because of the prospect of financial gain. This makes hiring riskier for firms, because there is always the possiblity, however remote, that a new hire might sue the firm in the future if she or she is dimissed.

Under these panorama, economists have gone about reaserching if there is any correlation between wrongful-termination laws, and the results have been consistent in showing that such correlation exists. Therefore, many economists recommend not only the termination of such laws, but also the removal of other laws that reduce labor flexibility.

Which of the following explains why a small conflict in the Balkans spread to all of Europe?
snow_lady [41]

Many of the European powers had entered into alliances requiring them to defend each other.


The systems of alliances and military plans which were put in place before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances.  Because the Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies, Germany thought if a war began it would need to fight on two fronts -- west and east.  So German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen drew up war plans that said attack France first, quickly, and then hold that territory while deploying forces to contend with Russia in the east.   


So then here's how it happened. When an Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian Empire threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented the Schlieffen Plan and went on attack vs. France.  That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.
