POPSLink Party: Miley Cyrus Is a Bad Tipper • Since we’ve all had a chance to say good-bye to Miley Cyrus‘ Twitter, now it’s time to get back to good ol’ gossip. Like this gem: She went to Outback Steakhouse and didn’t tip on her $70 bill. According to her rep, “She didn’t know she was supposed to tip unless she was eating inside.” Too bad there isn’t some microblogging site or something where she can defend herself.

POPSICE: Wait, wait! Let me shoot myself in the other foot too! Sigh... We had a process that enabled children and parents to be reunited fairly quckly. Now to "protect" kids, we are going to lock them up for months before they can be returned to their parents. I guess Homeland Security cloned Dumb and Dumber many more times than we thought they did.

POPSCultural Divide There is this disturbing elephant in the room. Mohammad took a bride who was 9 years old and consummated the marriage when she turned 11. Most people today would view this as depraved behavior. I'd like to know how modern day Muslims feel about this.

POPSWhat did slave labor make for you? Human trafficking is as much about child labor slavery, as it is about sex. Something that you already own was probably made by a child slave. Find out what is is so you don't support slavery any more!

POPSGet Ready for Detroit-Style Labor Relations in our Hospitals 
The current House version of ObamaCare (H.R. 3200) goes much further. Section 225(A) grants Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius tremendous discretionary authority to regulate health-care workers "under the public health insurance option." Monopoly bargaining and compulsory union dues may quickly become a required standard resulting in potentially hundreds of thousands of doctors and nurses across the country being forced into unions. Ms. Sebelius will be taking her marching orders from the numerous union officials who are guaranteed seats on the various federal panels (such as the personal care panel mentioned above) charged with recommending health-care policies. Big Labor will play a central role in directing federal health-care policy affecting hundreds of thousands of doctors, surgeons and nurses. Consider Kaiser Permanente, the giant, managed-care organization that has since 1997 proudly touted its labor-management "partnership"

POPSRead the Union Health-Care Label There's more. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus has suggested that the federal government could pay for health-care reform by taxing American workers' existing health-care benefits—but he would exempt union-negotiated health-care plans. Under Mr. Baucus's scheme, the government could impose costs of up to $20,000 per employee on nonunion businesses already struggling to afford health care plans. Mr. Baucus's proposal would give union officials another tool to pressure employers into turning over their employees to Big Labor. Rather than provide the lavish benefits required by Obamacare, employers could allow a union to come in and negotiate less costly benefits than would otherwise be required. Such plans could be continuously exempted. ObamaCare is a Trojan Horse for more forced unionization.

POPSLow-wage workers are often cheated by their employers More: The researchers said one of the most surprising findings was how successful low-wage employers were in pressuring workers not to file for workers’ compensation. Only 8 percent of those who suffered serious injuries on the job filed for compensation to pay for medical care and missed days at work stemming from those injuries… The study found that women were far more likely to suffer minimum wage violations than men, with the highest prevalence among women who were illegal immigrants. Among American-born workers, African-Americans had a violation rate nearly triple that for whites… The report found that 57 percent of workers sampled had not received mandatory pay documents the previous week, which are intended to help make sure pay is legal and accurate. Of workers who receive tips, 12 percent said their employer had stolen some of the tips."

POPSStealing & Selling Kids - Here! Child trafficking is a problem in Eastern Europe, in South Asia and USA. It's not just for sex that children are trafficked but that's the big ticket item here in USA. Disgusting - yep. Who's buying and who gets jailed when police departments stop denying there is a problem in their community. In Cincinnati, they think it's not a problem but it's not just weed and coke that travels I-74, I-75 and I-74 interstates!

POPSSex Worker Rights, Unionization - Not for These Kids Lately, some folks have been promoting and romanticizing about sex worker discrimination, rights and potential for unionization in the US and other countries. There is nothing romantic or cool about trafficking kids and young women and men for sex or labor slavery.

POPSSo? How's Your Summer Vacation? Working in a brick factory may not be your dream summer job or holiday but a family has to do what it can to survive - right? For those who believe the hype about modernizing economies in India and China: where would you rather be laid off: in China, in India, or here in USA?

POPSEnding the Anchor-Baby Problem In an interview with Business Week, director of NumbersUSA.com, Rob Beck, said, “The U.S. should pass H.R. 1868--the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009--so all babies born on U.S. soil are no longer automatically made citizens. “Maternity tourism is just the beginning of the silliness of birthright citizenship that goes to the babies of foreign students, temporary foreign workers, international travelers--and the millions who break the law to criminally enter this country.” With an astounding 400,000 anchor babies or “Jackpot babies” as named by radio talk show host Terry Anderson in Los Angeles, www.theterryandersonshow.com, American taxpayers pay a heavy price for a total misinterpretation of the 14th amendment of our Constitution.

POPSYou Need a Lineup to Know Who the Scum Are The other day, an organization I thought was great - CARE - Asked me and thousands of others to buy Old Navy GAP and Banana Republic items on sale, so GAP would make a big donation to CARE. I had no handy list to see if those companies were not involved in child labor or abusive labor practices. It took me a while to find out that buying those products contributes to labor and child trafficking. We need the list that our government has and is supposed to publish!

POPSIs a mother in labour a child abuser? I first learned about this story 2 days ago (h/t Kate), but it's taken me this long to write about it because I have been too busy pondering my own good fortune in having a smooth childbirth without unnecessary interference from pushy doctors or child welfare officials. And I've been giving my 2 year old daughter lots of extra cuddles. I'm also sending a donation to the National Advocates for Pregnant Women, and I encourage you to do the same. This doctor's orders: Count your blessings, cuddle your children, and help those less fortunate around you.

POPSAmerican Companies Using Trafficked Labor So where's the list that the Department of Labor was supposed to draw together in 2005? Gee, it was here someplace. Maybe someone sent it to the wrong address? The dog ate it? I think someone spilled unfair traded coffee on it.

POPSYou Cannot Save the World but Now You Know Omar Big numbers are sometimes a reason for avoiding doing anything about a problem you know is wrong. Guess what? That's a lousy excuse - sorry but it's true. As Peter Block says about leadership - everyone is in charge of themselves - you can act, you can say something, you can make a difference.

POPSBan child labor in the entertainment industry
If you view fame as a childhood poison, like asbestos, or charcoal dust, fame acts with life-shortening effect, and its impact is magnified by higher doses and earlier exposures…besides early death, fame has a dose-dependent, and age-dependent association (perhaps causality) for two other highly destructive outcomes - substance abuse and mental health disorders. These high rates are also likely increased by earlier exposure to fame.… There is also considerable anecdotal evidence that a child who is subjected to intense fame becomes developmentally delayed at the first age of exposure, resulting in delayed or even arrested maturation. The famous person is, for all intents and purposes, arrested at the age of earliest fame, lacking age-appropriate maturity, insight and/or impulse control… from an epidemiologic standpoint…we, as a society, by allowing child-labor in the entertainment industry, are enabling, if not causing, the early death and destruction of our most gifted member

POPSIvory Coast Chocolate is the Problem In 2005 the International Labor Organization estimated that up to 6% of the 200,000 children involved in cocoa production could be the victims of human trafficking or slavery. These children are enslaved and abused, forced to work unbearably long hours and are often beaten. Many of these children are victims of trafficking and are working completely against their will. You can make an effort to stop this injustice by taking five minutes to tell Hershey how important it is for them to help end child slavery in Africa by calling them today at 1-800-468-1714. Also see a list of Fair Trade chocolate companies so you won’t feel as guilty about your sweet tooth.
