How was the constitutionality of the creation of West Virginia handled?
Question by dov20051: How was the constitutionality of the creation of West Virginia handled?
Surely the creation of West Virginia was handled in a way that had, and still does not have, any precedent. It seems to be a mystery how and when the state was created. At the beginning of the Civil War the western end of Virginia prefered to stay in the Union and the eastern end of Virginia preferred to join the Confederacy. Suddenly there was another state in the Union; West Virginia. There has to be a legal procedure of some kind that is valid for such a major step.

Taxpayer $$ funded “field study” for SB 1070 authors in Virginia — scene from “9500 Liberty”
www.9500Liberty.com Immigration tax $ $ & tax increases funded DC lobbyists’ “field study” in Virginia — scene from “9500 Liberty” Transcript: Linda Chavez: The wording of the Resolution here in Prince William County says: “Whereas the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors has determined that illegal immigration is causing economic hardship and lawlessness in this County…” And I want to know how it was the Board went about determining that because it seemed that there was very little fact finding prior to the Board’s consideration of this measure. And I just wanted to know what the empirical evidence was of that impact; not people’s feelings. But what empirical data did you pull together to determine this lawlessness — I’m looking at a chart that suggests, for example, that crime has gone down. Was it the facts that were motivating you? Or was it something else? Corey Stewart: You’re trying to say that John Stirrup and myself simply went about this without doing our homework. No I’m just asking a question, Mr. Stewart, perhaps you can answer it. I’m trying to lay the…we did look at the impacts on the community and the thing to remind yourself here is that the community identified this issue. The community identified the problem on the streets in terms of crime. The community identified issues in the neighborhoods with housing overcrowding.

My home of almost 2 years has slowly revealed a lot of termite damage that was not disclosed before sale?
Question by d t: My home of almost 2 years has slowly revealed a lot of termite damage that was not disclosed before sale?
“Mandatory seller property condition disclosure is required by law in 45 states and the District of Columbia. The states that do not require disclosure are Alabama, Kansas, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.” Does this still hold true? Do I have any legal rights? The home was inspected by a licensed home inspector who revealed some termite damage that had been repaired. His words “Adequately repaired.” Then cut to 11 months after the home has been in our name we find water has found its way into our basement and some of the drywall has to come off for repairs and Wow! I can’t believe this house is still standing! I’m not a framer but I think the corner that the “bugs” were chewing on looks to me like it is load bearing! There are no live termites in sight and the same exterminator company that mitigated the “bugs” still spray for us. This is not a pleasant way to start out our lives in our first home. Thank you much for any input!

You knew of termite damage prior to buying it and the time elapsed is enough for a lot of further damage to happen.

Disintegrating Democracy at Work: Labor Unions and the Future of Good Jobs in the Service Economy
Disintegrating Democracy at Work: Labor Unions and the Future of Good Jobs in the Service Economy
The shift from manufacturing- to service-based economies has often been accompanied by the expansion of low-wage and insecure employment. Many consider the effects of this shift inevitable. In Disintegrating Democracy at Work, Virginia Doellgast contends that high pay and good working conditions are possible even for marginal service jobs. This outcome, however, depends on strong unions and encompassing collective bargaining institutions, which are necessary to give workers a voice in the decisions that affect the design of their jobs and the distribution of productivity gains.
Doellgast’s conclusions are based on a comparative study of the changes that occurred in the organization of call center jobs in the United States and Germany following the liberalization of telecommunications markets. Based on survey data and interviews with workers, managers, and union representatives, she found that German managers more often took the “high road” than those in the United States, investing in skills and giving employees more control over their work. Doellgast traces the difference to stronger institutional supports for workplace democracy in Germany. However, these democratic structures were increasingly precarious, as managers in both countries used outsourcing strategies to move jobs to workplaces with lower pay and weaker or no union representation. Doellgast’s comparative findings show the importance of policy choices in closing off these escape routes, promoting broad access to good jobs in expanding service industries.
