The H.R. 1171, also known as the bill “to amend title II of the Social Security Act to eliminate the five month waiting period for disability insurance benefits for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)”, is a plan to reduce the waiting time for disability benefits for those with ALS. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease which weakens the muscles and hurts mobility. The life expectancy is 3-5 years, but as ability to function decreases, medical bills skyrocket and work is impossible. H.R. 1171 was introduced by Rep. Seth Moulton with co-sponsors Peter King, Gus Bilirakis, Earl Blumenauer, David Cicilline, Katherine Clark, Steve Cohen, John Conyers Jr., Peter DeFazio, Suzan DelBene, Eliot Engel, John Garamendi, Denny Heck, Walter Jones Jr., William Keating, Derek Kilmer, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Thomas MacArthur, James McGovern, Scott Peters, Chellie Pingree, Mark Pocan, Kathleen Rice, Cedric Richmond, C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, Tim Ryan, Pete Sessions, Paul Tonko, Timothy Walz, and Eric Swalwell.

However, these contemporary views of the function of HR were considerably different during the Twentieth Century.

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 prohibits all discrimination in employment based on race, gender, color, religious, or ethnic considerations. The Supreme Court wanted to modify the original Civil Rights Act of 1964 in response to Supreme Court decisions limiting the rights of employees who accused their employer of discriminating (Civil Rights Act of 1991 - Pub. L. 102-166). This act amended not only the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but also the Americans with Disabilities Act, of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Civil Rights Act of 1866.

The question we must ask ourselves is what exactly the Profession of Arms is and what is our role as Human Resource Sergeants (HR Sergeants) what is it that we bring to the fight, what’s our contribution to the Army’s overall objective. As we emerge from years of war, from constant back to back deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, we find ourselves in an era of persistent conflicts where we find ourselves embroiled in conflicts all around the world. In a world that seems more dangerous today than it was yesterday it is important we remain vigilant and remain capable of fighting and winning our nations wars.

Human Resource Management’s Leadership Development Programs and the Effects on Employee morale: An Annotated Bibliography

Employees tend to hate Human Resource Managers for a variety of reasons. Human Resource Managers are vital to organizations because they have the proper training and skills which are necessary in order to help the organization function as a whole. In the article, “Why we hate HR”, by Keith K. Hammonds, Keith goes into a high depth analysis as to why himself, and others, tend to hate human resources. This article takes on the perspective that Human resources just aren’t cut out for the positions they acquire as they have to many responsibilities which they just aren’t trained to do. Although I disagree the article that Keith has written for several reasons, it has clearly left a mark to this day which has many executives dissecting it and debating the topic. Some key point that Keith points out in his article include, HR executives aren’t financially savvy enough, they are too focused on delivering programs rather than enhancing value, and they are unable to conduct themselves as the equals of the traditional power players in the organization. One reason why people dislike HR is Lack of knowledge and this is a main reason as to why people disagree or become frustrated with what they do.
