On August 29th the New York Times reported an incident which occurred at a Cost Cutters hair salon in Great Falls, Montana. Cost Cutters is owned by The Regis Corporation, a major conglomerate in the hair industry.

The incident, according to the former manager of the salon, involved Regis strongly encouraging the four current employed stylists to sign a document that would seemingly nullify any future support they showed for unionization.

The document the stylists at several Montana salons were urged to sign by regional management said they were agreeing to revoke any future signature they put on a pro-union card that could be counted as showing support for unionizing.

Labor leaders in Montana accuse Regis of seeking to take away the stylists’ right to form a union. But Regis says the document merely seeks to ensure that workers choose unions through a secret-ballot election – at a time when unions are pushing legislation in Congress that would make it easy to bypass secret ballots.

My addiction to the uber popular CBS Reality Show Big Brother has evolved through various stages. Initially I was completely amazed by the concept that a group of 13 people would willingly be locked up in a house without any type of electronic leashes (iPhone, notebook computers, PDAs) or any type of access to the outside world.

The House Guests (HG) can’t even take in paper or pencils because they are not allowed to write anything down. In fact, the women are stripped of lip and eye pencils or lipstick which can be used to track dates or events. Games of memory are very big in the BB game so the producers try to prevent any types of recording by the House Guests.

After I recovered from the shock of them living inside this house completely surrounded by microphones and cameras I became less in awe of their daily experiences. I was able to become more focused on the different personalities and interactions developing in the house. Continue reading “Big Brother 11: Jeff’s Mistakes Have Caught Up With Him” »
