If the U.S. health care industry has to retain a competitive edge, it will have to effectively attract and manage the diverse talent that will characterize its new work force. This article analyzes the authors' cultural awareness survey results and suggests a strategic model for managing diversity in the health care industry.

However, corporate politics refers to the acquisition and use of power, and power is simply referred to as the ability to influence others in order to get things done (Dessler, 1998; Robbins, 1994). How we develop and use our power and the various political tools at our disposal, of course, can be viewed in positive or negative ways, depending on the degree to which we are attempting to accomplish goals that are compatible with the organizations and the effect the political tools used have on others. The use of power and polities is necessary in order to achieve goals. AMI people encounter some fonn of polities throughout their career, whether it be in positive or negative fonns. Some positive aspects of polities include authentic attitudes, honest and open communication, networking, coping with difficult bosses, getting support from co-workers, and finding effective mentors.

The law mandates that employers reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities who are qualified to perform the job. However, employers are exempted from this requirement if the reasonable accommodation results in an undue hardship for the organization. The legal definitions of reasonable accommodation and undue hardship have evolved over time due to case law resulting from judicial decisions. This paper will review recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court and their effect on employer responsibilities under the ADA. Suggestions will be provided as to policies organizations could follow to respond to these requirements.

The NLRB ruled in January 1997 that unions must supply financial information to workers who pay dues but who have elected not to join the union. The use of union dues for political activity continues to be a controversial issue for both public and private unions. This paper will provide a brief overview of the legal history of unions in America and the current issues they are encountering. Legal issues relating to the use of union dues for political activities for both public and private unions will also be discussed.
