Civil wrongdoings with consequent financial and other loss or damage to employers, employees and third parties may result in the course of various trade union activities. These day to day trade union activities take a variety of forms. The most common ones are inducement of breach of contract, conspiracy, trespass, nuisance, and intimidation. Each of these activities constitutes a tort which, unless the statutory immunities apply, would normally give rise at common law to an action for damages or, as is more frequent, enable the aggrieved party to obtain an injunction.

UNDER steady load conditions, materials in gas turbines are subject to various forms of static and alternating stresses. Changes in the operating conditions such as starting, load variations and shut down cause additional thermal stresses which limit the permissible rate of these changes in service. In stationary plants these effects can be minimized by adjustment of the starting and shut down procedure or by protection of the sensitive parts with a cooling flow. In gas turbines for propulsion purposes load changes are governed by external conditions, are more frequent and take place at a higher rate. The consequent thermal stresses are then referred to as thermal shocks. Various methods for testing the resistance of materials to thermal shocks have already been suggested and applied. However, they differ very widely, and no quantitative, or even comparable figures are available as yet.

The Equal Pay Act 1970 (which came into operation on 29 December 1975) provides for an “equality clause” to be written into all contracts of employment. S.1(2) (a) of the 1970 Act (which has been amended by the Sex Discrimination Act 1975) provides:

In a multicase qualitative study, inclusive school leaders attempted to move their schools from the excessive use of suspension; they employed positive behavioral intervention and support (PBIS) as an alternative they thought would be therapeutic rather than punitive. However, the PBIS system traded a disciplinary system of control for a medicalized system of restoring order. Unwanted behavior came to be defined as evidence of possible behavioral disability. Hence, the PBIS system exchanged one deficit identity of “disorderly” student for another of “disordered” student, subsuming other considerations of race, class, and gender identity. Following the study’s findings, this chapter proposes more liberatory practices for PBIS that interrupt dominant culture discourses of normal behavior and power, and hold promise for establishing justice, rather than simply reinstating order.

IT was only a very few years ago that computers came into fashion, as it were. Firms, unfortunately denied the benefit of foresight, vied with each other in being the first in their respective fields to own a computer.
