*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Corporate Welfare Won’t Create Jobs Author: Frank Clemente Source: NY times *Date:* Dec 12, 2016 *Summary: *The recent deal <http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/business/trump-to-announce-carrier-plant-…> to keep some 800 workers employed at a Carrier plant in Indiana rather than see those jobs shipped to Mexico proved great news for the workers and a public relations bonanza for President-elect Donald J. Trump <http://www.nytimes.com/topic/person/donald-trump?inline=nyt-per>. What it didn’t prove — even though the incoming president used the occasion to promote his proposal for a huge tax giveaway to corporations — is that cutting corporate taxes will save or create many American jobs. It won’t. *Link:* http://nyti.ms/2gHfrwM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: What Will a Trump NLRB Mean for Graduate Teaching and Research Assistants?Author: Andrew Strom Source: On Labor *Date:* Dec 12, 2016 *Summary: *In 2000, the Clinton Board found that teaching and research assistants at private universities are “employees” covered by the NLRA; in 2004, the Bush Board found that they were not, and in 2016, once again, the Obama Board found that they were employees. This has led to speculation that a Trump Board will deny employee status to teaching and research assistants *Link:* http://bit.ly/2hApFRl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

Fraioli Jr. Source: HR Magazine *Date:* Dec 12, 2016 *Summary: I*n the wake of new legislation, background checks that used to take place as a matter of course may now be worth reconsidering.

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Women, it’s time to ask for a raise Author: Sallie Krawcheck <http://www.pbs.org/newshour/author/sallie-krawcheck/> Source: PBS NewsHour *Date:* Dec 12, 2016 *Summary: *Women in the U.S. control $5 trillion in investible assets, but more than 70 percent of that money is left sitting in the bank in cash. The result? Women miss out on possible market returns — which have averaged 10 percent historically over longer periods of time in the equity markets — and thus the financial power and independence that comes along with growing wealth. *Link:* http://to.pbs.org/2hEs7ls ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Minimum-Wage Foes Tripped Up by Facts Author: Barry Ritholtz Source: Bloomberg News *Date:* Dec 9, 2016 *Summary: *The modern minimum-wage debate traces back to the seminal 1993 research <http://www.nber.org/papers/w4509> by Alan Krueger <https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2015-04-21/barry-ritholtz-s-masters…> and David Card. The two economists looked at employment in the fast-food industry when minimum wages were raised in one market but not in the adjacent market. Their studies found no reduction in job growth in the market where pay was increased, and in fact, the opposite occurred. Many subsequent studies confirmed their findings -- modest increases in minimum wages don’t lead to job losses. *Link:* http://bloom.bg/2gj2vd6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
