Survey Sez
Unions Don't Scare Me
Not so long ago, human resource managers trembled at the thought of union organizers in their midst. Now, two-thirds rate their concern as "low" or "non-existent," according to the latest online poll at HR.BLR.com.

The poll asked, "What's the level of concern about union organizing at your company?"

Non-existent - 43%
Low - 25%
Moderate - 14%
We're already organized - 10%
High - 7%

The poll, conducted July 20-26, drew 557 participants. It was held amid heavy news coverage of the AFL-CIO's 50th-anniversary convention and the high-profile departure of seven dissident unions from the coalition, including the Teamsters Union and the Service Employees International Union.

Use The Right Medium
"Email is for grown-ups. US teenagers now prefer instant messaging to communicate with each other online. Internet users from 12 to 17 years old say email is best for talking to parents or institutions. They are more likely to fire up instant messaging (IM) when talking with each other, the non-profit Pew Internet and American Life Project found.

The number of teenagers using the internet has grown 24% in the past four years and 87% of those between the ages of 12 and 17 are online.

  • About 21 million teens use the internet and half of them say they go online every day

  • 51% of online teens live in homes with broadband connections.

  • 81% of wired teens play games online, which is 52% higher than four years ago.

  • 76% of online teens get news online, which is 38% higher than four years ago.

  • 43% have made purchases online, which is 71% higher than four years ago.

  • 31% use the internet to get health information, which is 47% higher than four years ago.

Leading the way are older teenaged girls, who are putting burgeoning technologies to use to support their already honed communication styles. Girls ages 15-17-year-old are the power users of the online teen cohort. Older girls dominate in use of email, IM, text messaging, and selected information-seeking activities:

  • 97% of girls 15-17 have used instant messaging, compared to 89% of younger boys and girls and 87% of older boys

  • 57% of older girls have ever sent a text message compared 40% of older boys

  • 51% of older girls have bought something online

  • 79% of girls 15-17 have gone online to search for information about a school they might attend, vs. 70% of older boys.

  • Older girls are more likely to search for information on health topics both mundane and sensitive, for spirituality or religious information, and for entertainment topics like favorite sports or movie stars or TV programs.
