Abstract
An overview of the problems involved in staffing a warehouse over the summer, followed by possible solutions. The author's solutions include, encouraging teamwork, offering incentives, empowering employees, improving employee motivation, multi-training employees, introducing training sessions over the summer and employing assistants. The conclusion includes various recommendations for short and long-term solutions.
From the Paper
"The warehouse supervisor?s problem relates to ensuring the warehouse is adequately staffed during the summer months. Contributing to this problem is the fact that his senior staff take vacations in the summer months and that all staff take a greater amount of sick leave in the summer months.
This has led to the supervisor having to deal with staff shortages on a daily and a weekly basis. The basic solution in the past was to hire replacements workers on an on-call basis during the summer months but this has proved ineffective, with high turnover the result. The final result for the supervisor is the stress of having to deal with staff shortage problems at short notice and also the frustration of having to hire new people constantly."

Abstract
The paper discusses how nurses and nursing management personnel have felt themselves pulled in two directions. The paper examines how understaffed and poorly funded modern hospitals are more reliant on nurses than ever before to provide care to patients. This paper proposes a transformational approach to leadership, encouraging a new approach to allocating nursing staff within different hospital wards. The writer maintains that it is necessary to take into consideration alternative factors such as the types of patients different wards are designed to serve and likely patient demands upon staff, rather than rely upon the traditional per person per nursing hour calculation, where every patient is assumed to require the same level of hourly nursing care.

From the Paper
"The ANA made one critical suggestion. The ANA stated that there was a critical need to either retire or seriously question the usefulness of the concept of nursing hours per patient per day, as a way of monitoring an adequate care level in a hospital environment. This formulaic guideline was inappropriate, the ANA stated, because when determining nursing hours of care, one is dealing with the inevitably variable needs of human patients, and there is no one size fits all equation."

The Staffing Industry, 2005.
This paper discusses the staffing industry and the possibility of a shortage of labor.

Abstract
The paper examines the chances that there is or perhaps will be a labor shortage within the staffing industry in the United States economy. The paper explains that this is not an easy question to probe as the relationship that the staffing industry occupies within the economy is complex and at times very uncertain. The paper shows how in some ways the staffing industry actually responds counter intuitively to changes in the economy. Recession, while damaging to all industries, can be extremely beneficial to the staffing industry in the quarters immediately following the end of the recession as other industries are tentative.
From the Paper
"The staffing industry is currently one of the greatest growth industries in the country and one of the few that has quickly managed to reassert itself in spite of the recent recession in 2001. In fact, most economists and business analysts recognize that the staffing industry is poised to become a major new part of the new U.S. economy."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Recruiting, hiring, training, evaluating and promoting or dismissing employees is one of the most critical functions that a company performs. If an organization does not have the right people with the right knowledge available at the right time, it is at a considerable disadvantage in the marketplace. Some positions are easier to fill than others because there are numerous individuals who possess the right skills and talents to perform the job tasks. Other positions require specialized knowledge and skills that may result in higher salaries, and almost certainly results in longer recruitment times. The energy services industry is a highly specialized industry, and the professionals who work in that industry are themselves highly specialized. This research considers the staffing industry that supports the ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses staffing issues in the emergency departments of most hospitals ranging from staffing shortages, job dissatisfaction rates and lack of proper staff training. Comments are included as they relate to patients' compromised levels of care that result. A series of recommendations conclude the paper and range from simple color coding for emergency department delivery of care teams to adding a faculty physician to work in the waiting room and discharge patients not requiring further treatment by a team of nurses and physicians or diagnostic testing.
From the Paper
This is a high level paper discussing staffing issues in the Emergency Departments of most hospitals ranging from staffing shortages, job dissatisfaction rates and lack of proper staff training. A series of recommendations conclude the paper. Most television shows that depict an emergency department in a major hospital are misleading. Yes, they show the congested traffic, the overcrowded waiting rooms and drama associated with trauma, but they have the staffing ratio all wrong; at least based on this writer's observations.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects of the new nurse-staffing law passed in California. It examines the advantages and disadvantages of the enactment of the law. The author also reviews the impact that the staffing laws are having on the future of nursing care.
From the Paper
"They also had to make decisions as to whether their budgets could afford this and whether certain amount of beds or possibly even whole wards would need to be shut down, at least for the time being. This could hurt patients needing medical treatment, but in general would likely improve the care that they received and the waiting times that they were forced to endure, simply because there would be more people available to deal with them. By reducing the flexibility of nurse staffing, however, many of those that operate hospitals in the state of California believe that the amount of patients that they will be able to see will actually decrease. This will obviously be a problem for those needing medical care in that state (Benson, 1999; Leighty, 2004)."

Under-staffing in Nursing Homes, 2007.
This paper looks at the topic of under-staffing, focusing on nursing homes.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that minimum nurse-to-patient ratios represent the minimal amount of nurses required to care for the maximum number of patients, without compromising patient or nurse safety. The writer points out that both the public and physicians rank nurse under-staffing as one of the most serious threats to patient safety. The writer notes that nurse safety advocates are beginning to question how inadequate ratios impact job satisfaction and the ability of nursing staff to improve quality of care. While a problem at all healthcare facilities, the issue is even larger at nursing homes where minimum staffing ratios are very low. The writer concludes that much research is in progress to help nurses maintain a safe environment to practice and to determine how to adequately define what nurse-to-patient ratios should be.
From the Paper
"A history of nurse staffing and patient outcomes dates as far back as a study by Moses and Mosteller. They found nurse staffing among the significant determinants of mortality. Later, publicly available Medicare data for U.S. hospitals generated more studies on the factors related to mortality. Authors of these studies reported that nurse staffing was significantly related to mortality. Aiken, Clarke, Sloane, Sochalski, and Silber produced the first study to specifically quantify the impact of nurse-to-patient ratios on death rates. They reported that reducing the number of patients that a registered nurse takes care of results in better patient outcomes. A reduction in mortality rates and infections were among the findings. Aiken, Sochalski, and Lake demonstrated that nursing presence, whether measured as RN ratios or as RN hours relative to other nursing personnel hours, is significantly correlated to mortality. Adequate staffing levels allow nurses time to make comprehensive patient assessments, attend to routine nursing duties and effectively respond to emergencies. Specifically, Aiken, Clarke, Sloane, Sochalski, and Silber found that each additional patient assigned to a nurse resulted in a 7% increase in the likelihood of the patient dying within 30 days of admission to the hospital."

Abstract
For the past hundred years, the members of The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) have worked the docks and ports around the globe. This paper discusses how and when the union was formed, the type of workers who are involved in the union, key events in the union's history, its constitution and its growth record. The paper discusses the union's political program and questions whether it is truly democratic.
From the Paper
"When women showed up at the docks for work, they were met with superstitious fear. A woman on a ship was a bad omen to old seamen, ?witches brought storms, havoc and death? (Origins pg). Moreover, the waterfront had always been a man?s world and it took strength to ?handle cargo, lift barrels and drums and bales of cotton? (Origins pg)."
However, today with automation and technology such as computers, containers, and heavy equipment, muscle is not all that important. After twenty years, women finally gained a foothold, and today represent thirteen percent of the union?s Longshore Division. Although, it may not seem like a high percentage, when compared to other non-traditional occupations, it doesn?t seem all that low."
