Under EFCA, if Rite Aid had been found guilty of making illegal threats or of spying or of intimidation, it could have faced a monetary penalty\u00e2\u0080\u0094up to $20,000 per incident in cases of repeated violations. If Rite Aid had been found to have illegally fired a union supporter, it would have been required to pay not just the back wages, but three times the back wages. And if contract negotiations were being conducted without results, either party could seek federal mediation after ninety days. If, after thirty additional days, negotiations were still stalled, then an arbiter would be able to impose a contract settlement that would last two years. This would prevent employers (or employees) from running out the clock with bad-faith talks. &quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/politics\">politics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/US\">US<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/class-war\">class-war<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/geoeyemediaportal.s3.amazonaws.com\/gallery\/GeoEye-1%20Inauguration2009_final_clip.jpg\">GeoEye-1 Inauguration2009_final_clip.jpg (JPEG Image, 8218&#215;7608 pixels) &#8211; Scaled (10%)<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">Whopping huge satellite photo showing the enormous crowds at the Inauguration<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/politics\">politics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/US\">US<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/space\">space<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/pictures\">pictures<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetary.org\/blog\/article\/00001816\/\">What are the rovers up to? &#8211; The Planetary Society Blog | The Planetary Society<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">More importantly, why have they stopped updating their LiveJournals?<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/space\">space<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/planets\">planets<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/planetary-society\">planetary-society<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legoland California&#8217;s depiction of Barack Obama&#8217;s inauguration | World news | guardian.co.uk (tags: politics news silly pictures toys) Let My Students Drink: College presidents say it&#8217;s time to lower the drinking age &#8211; Reason Magazine &quot;Q: Why lower the drinking age?
