Sloppy? Disorganized? You're probably more effective, too, say the

A Perfect Mess
By Eric Abrahamson and David H. Freedman
Little, Brown, January 2007 304 pp., $25.99
Forget what everyone from your first boss to your mother taught you. The
authors of A Perfect Mess are here to say that "moderately disorganized
people, institutions, and systems frequently turn out to be more efficient,
more resilient, more creative, and in general more effective than highly
organized ones." Even better, they have proof--in this compelling and
comical tour of humanity's guilt-ridden love affair with accidents, messes,
and randomness.

One-fifth of Union Activists Illegally Fired During Unionization Campaigns

About 1 in 5 union organizers or activists can expect to be
fired as a result of their union organizing, according to a
new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
The paper, "Dropping the Ax: Illegal Firings During Union
Election Campaigns,"[http://tinyurl.com/y8my2z] by John
Schmitt and Ben Zipperer, finds a steep rise in illegal
firings of pro-union workers in recent years.
"Aggressive actions by employers -- often including illegal
firings -- have significantly undermined the ability of U.S.
workers to unionize their workplaces," said John Schmitt, CEPR
senior economist and lead author of the paper. "With the legal
penalties for such actions being so slight, employers can
break the law to head-off organizing efforts and face almost
no real repercussions."
