*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: The case for employee-owned companies Author: David Ellerman Source: PBS NewsHour *Date:* Nov. 23, 2015 *Summary:* Our story on Colorado’s 100 percent worker-owned company New Belgium Brewing <http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/brewery-workers-pour-hearts-business-given-s…> has stirred some interest in the concept of employee stock ownership.

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Pacific Trade and Worker Rights Source: NY Times *Date:* Nov. 23, 2015 *Summary:* The United States should insist on stronger enforcement of labor rights with trade pact countries.

Not all employers hate unions. These ones are trying to save them.

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Not all employers hate unions. These ones are trying to save them.Author: Lydia DiPillis Source: Washington Post *Date:* Nov. 19, 2015 *Summary:* Unions are supposed to be a pain for employers. Especially strong, well-funded ones that are able to thwart their plans for change. Bosses should root for anything that might undermine the unions' ability to collect dues, which they use to negotiate over wages and benefits ... right? Well, not according to a host of government entities that have come to the defense of public sector unions at a moment when they could be wounded by a Supreme Court ruling on whether they're allowed to collect dues from nonmembers.

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Remembering the Life and Music of Labor Agitator Joe Hill, Who Was Executed 100 Years Ago Today Source: In These Times Authors: David Cochran *Date:* Nov. 19, 2015 *Summary:* Chicago musician and scholar Bucky Halker is honoring the centennial with a CD of new interpretations of Hill’s music, “Anywhere But Utah—The Songs of Joe Hill,” taking his title from Hill’s dying wish that his remains be transported out of state because he didn’t want “to be found dead in Utah.” The album includes such familiar Hill classics as "The Preacher and the Slave," "There is Power in a Union" and "Rebel Girl" as well as some surprising obscurities, like the wistfully romantic "Come and Take a Joy-Ride in My Aeroplane."
