*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management * Title: Job Prospects Are Dimming for Radiology Trainees Date: March 27, 2013 Source: New York Times *Author:* Nina Bernstein *Summary: *Radiologists still make twice as much as family doctors, but are high on the list of specialists whose incomes are in steepest decline. Recent radiology graduates with huge medical school debts are having trouble finding work, let alone the $400,000-and-up dream jobs that beckoned as they signed on for five to seven years of relatively low-paid labor as trainees. On Internet forums, younger radiology residents agonize about whether it is too late to switch *Link:* http://nyti.ms/102OQtL -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 732-932-9513, beg.

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management * Title: Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead? Date: March 27, 2013 Source: New York Times *Author:* Susan Dominus *Summary: *Helping is not the enemy of productivity, a time-sapping diversion from the actual work at hand; it is the mother lode, the motivator that spurs increased productivity and creativity. In some sense, he has built a career in professional motivation by trying to unpack the puzzle of his own success. He has always helped; he has always been productive. How, he has wondered for most of his professional life, does the interplay of those two factors work for everyone else? *Link:* http://nyti.ms/13Atw3Z -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 732-932-9513, beg.

Date: March 24. 2013 Source: Associated Press *Summary: *On Thursday, Michigan’s right-to-work law takes effect, a stunning shift in this symbolic capital of organized labor.

Dean Schurman on the upcoming RU Strategic Planning public meeting
by SMLR Library 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

March 26, 2013 Members of the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations Community As you many know President Barchi is conducting a series of strategic planning town hall meetings as part of the process of developing a University-wide strategic plan. The next town hall is scheduled for this Thursday, March 28, from 3 pm to 5 pm in the Multipurpose Room of the Rutgers Student Center on College Avenue. This will be the second of three town halls scheduled for the New Brunswick Campus. These meetings are an important way in which the university is gathering input from students, faculty, staff, alumni, governing board members, state leaders, and community stakeholders in order to create a strategy to guide Rutgers for the next 10 years. I want to encourage as many SMLR students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends as possible to participate in the strategic planning process. Attending a town hall meeting is an opportunity not only to provide your input but also to hear what others from other parts of Rutgers are thinking. Once the University-wide strategic plan has been formulated through this process we, along with all the other schools, will begin a school-wide strategic planning process. I expect this to be launched early in the Fall 2013 semester. A full listing of town hall meetings is posted on the Strategic Planning website at http://universitystrategy.rutgers.edu. I hope you will participate. Sincerely, Sue Schurman -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 732-932-9513, beg.
