This chapter follows the lengthy process of the merger between Scotts and Lithgows Limited, taking place over a five year period between 1965 and 1970. It analyses whether or not the merger was inevitable via a detailed history of the contributing factors. It begins with the establishment of the Shipbuilding Inquiry Committee (SIC) and the efforts made to re-invigorate the industry to match international competitors; before tackling the labour question and employment concerns; the transition of the Admiralty to the Ministry of Defence; the status of the Warship Group; competition from Japanese shipyards; the revitalising recommendations of the SIC Report (Geddes Report); the establishment of the Shipbuilding Industry Board; and the difficult industrial relations that persisted throughout. It concludes by suggesting that the merger would be one of name only, due to the four years of unproductive talks, disruptions, and deliberations by those involved.

Employment Concerns

The Disability and Employment Survey (DES) was constructed to assess concerns that may be experienced by people with disabilities when seeking employment, with attention paid to the concerns of racial and ethnic minorities. Consisting of 32 items, the development of the DES was informed by focus group data from a culturally-diverse sample. When reviewed by a team of disability researchers, service providers, attorneys, and advocates, the DES demonstrated adequate face validity. Reliability analysis with 279 adults with disabilities resulted in a Cronbach's alpha of .91. Principal-components factor analysis indicated that the DES is comprised primarily offour factors: (a) Job Readiness Concerns, (b) Language Concerns, (c) Environmental Concerns, and (d) Health, Financial, and Familial Concerns, with these factors accounting for 49.8% of the total variance. Employment concerns varied by participants' race/ethnicity, academic attainment, current employment status, prior work history, and monetary beneficiary status.

Employment Concerns

Employed mothers of young children worry about the effects of daily separation on their children Do fathers have similar anxieties? Because fathers are expected to leave the home and go to work, psychologists have not studied fathers' concerns about daily separation from their babies and preschool children In this study, we investigated fathers' and mothers' separation anxiety and the relationships between separation anxiety and family and child-care characteristics The sample included 589 married couples from a larger study of families and center-based child care Data were collected through in-home and center visits Fathers and mothers had similar levels of Separation Anxiety However, fathers reported slightly higher Concern for the Child, and mothers reported higher Employment Concerns Fathers' perceptions of their wives' anxieties were higher by half a standard deviation compared with mothers' reports Fathers' and mothers self-reported separation anxieties were modestly correlated Paternal separation anxiety was most strongly associated with fathers' perceptions of their wives' separation concerns, not with mothers' reported anxieties, which suggested ego defensiveness and projection

Employment Concerns

BackgroundSocial and environmental participation endeavors are theorized to shape one's general satisfaction with the overall employment situation facing people with MS.ObjectiveResponding to a national survey of the employment concerns of Americans with multiple sclerosis (MS), this study examined the extent to which factors at the demographic, disease-related, and social and environmental participation levels contribute to the predictability power for general satisfaction with the employment situation for people with MS.MethodParticipants in this study consisted of 1,149 members of nine National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) chapters representing 21 states and Washington, DC. In a hierarchical multiple regression analysis, participants were mostly older (average age of 50 years) White (74%) individuals, nearly half of whom were unemployed (47%) but well educated (98% were high school graduates, 45% were college graduates).FindingsFindings underscore the complexity involved in predicting how satisfied people with MS are with their overall employment situation.ConclusionsYounger, less educated individuals with higher levels of perceived quality of life who were employed full-time and experiencing no or lower levels of cognitive impairment were more likely than other participants to be satisfied with 17 high-priority employment concerns.
