1. What is the public pension funding cap and why is it important to public sector unions?
2. On a very busy check-in day at a hotel, there are only two reservation clerks working the Front Desk. In the middle of the peak check-in/out point, the Hotel Manager for the Clerks visits the Desks and informs one of the Clerks that he needs to leave the desk immediately to report to HR for important, mandatory in-service training. The Clerk, a White Male, refuses and continues to work the reservations. He tells his fellow Clerk, an African-American Female, that he will not leave her to handle these activities alone. She insists that she can handle the front desk, but he continues to work at the desk. Ten minutes later, the Manager returns to ask the Clerk why he has not gone to HR. The Clerk says these words, “That training is useless and can wait until another day. I am needed here to assist my Team Associate – its busy”. He walks away and mumbles something inaudible and returns to the desk to help the other Clerk. What should the Manager do?
