Project Agreement

The Construction of the $1.2 billion Vancouver Island Highway Project provided an opportunity for the building trades unions and the Government of BC to negotiate an innovative collective agreement that included union membership, training for local residents and members of equity groups, new employment opportunities for members of designated equity groups and a comprehensive health and safety program.The Project implemented the most comprehensive system of tracking progress in employment equity in BC’s history. By its completion, women, First Nations, persons with disabilities and visible minorities accounted for just under 20% of total hours worked in an industry where 2% representation is the norm. Over 94% of payroll went to local residents, ensuring their communities the benefits of this major capital project. Finally, the health and safety record was significantly better than on any comparable construction project. Far from being an impediment to the efficient and timely completion of this major construction project, the collective agreement made it possible to deliver training, employment opportunities and regional development

Employment Rights

The employment opportunity policy for persons with disabilities is a policy established by the Government which aims to provide employment opportunities and create employment opportunities for persons with disabilities in order to create equal employment rights between persons with disabilities and normal society so that discrimination against persons with disabilities is eliminated. This study aims to look at the implementation of employment opportunities policies for persons with disabilities in Pekanbaru City and the factors that influence the implementation of these policies. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. This study uses the theory of policy implementation according to Merilee S. Grindle which consists of two indicators that affect the performance of public policy implementation, namely indicators of policy content which include the interests of the target group, types of benefits, degree of desired change, location of decision making, program implementers, resources involved, and indicators of the implementation environment consisting of the powers, interests, and strategies of the actors involved; characteristics of institutions and authorities; compliance and responsiveness. The results of this study are the finding of deficiencies that must be considered to be improved, namely in the aspect of implementing responsiveness (lack of socialization) so that policy implementation has not run optimally in Pekanbaru City. Researchers also found several factors that influence the implementation of this policy in Pekanbaru City, namely the objectives of the policy, human resources, economic conditions, as well as the response and participation of the target group.

The Government

The government of Indonesia is targeting a supply shortage or housing backlog in 2019 to be 5.4 million. With the shortage of rental housing needs that are still very large, the development needs of rental flats in the future are still very high. But on the other hand, the implementation of construction projects in Indonesia, in general, the number of work accidents also increased. Referring to Labor Social Service Agency (BPJS) data, nationally the number of occupational accidents in the construction sector is recorded as the most national sector of the number of occupational accidents. Managerial finance is important to assist the process of making decisions related to work safety. While the regulations and provisions concerning occupational, health, and safety (OHS) financing in Indonesia in the construction sector, especially in buildings, have not been clearly and measurably regulated. In its implementation, the existing regulations have not been fully followed by construction actors even within the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing itself. Architectural works on building construction, in this case, the construction of rental apartments is a job that has the highest number of work items compared to other types of work items. This study resulted in standardized Work Breakdown Structure, safety risks identification, mitigation risks and the component of safety cost for Architectural Works in Rental Apartments Building Construction Project.

The Government

Lack of awareness of workers is one of the factors causing work accidents that have occurred. This cannot be done as it should, so there are still frequent work accidents involving construction project workers. In the Bogor region itself, the issue of work safety is also a special concern of the government in realizing development. The method used by the author in this study is a descriptive legal normative research method, the implementation of work safety protection for construction project workers in Bogor City is still not running optimally, this is due to the absence of an agreement between workers and employers. Because in general construction project workers only have a working relationship with third parties outside the construction company. So that the participation of the government is needed to resolve work safety issues for construction project workers. The legal consequence arising from the absence of a work agreement for construction project workers is that they do not receive work health and safety insurance, other than that the wages received do not correspond to what has been provided by the company, because there is a third party tasked with coordinating these workers, so construction project workers do not have legal protection as mandated by law.

The Impact

Purpose The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the global economy and, thus, the global construction industry. This paper aims to study the impact of COVID-19 on construction project performance in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a qualitative and exploratory approach to investigate the impact of COVID-19 and its policies on project performance in the UAE construction industry in critical areas of the project management body of knowledge (e.g. schedule, cost, resources and contracts). Semi-structured interview questions were asked from ten construction professional to obtain valuable insights into the pandemic’s effects on the UAE construction industry and the effectiveness of policies implemented to rectify the damage and identify the industry’s new normal. Findings The findings indicate that the construction industry faced several challenges such as schedule delays, disrupted cashflows, delayed permits, approvals and inspections, travel restrictions, serious health and safety concerns, material and equipment shortages, among others which hindered the timely delivery of construction projects. It also indicates that efforts made by the government institutions and the construction industry of the UAE such as economic support programs, digitization of processes, fee and fine waivers, health facilities, among other statutory relaxations proved effective in supporting the construction industry against the adverse effects of the pandemic. Research limitations/implications The research findings are limited to the literature review and ten semi-structured interviews seeking an expert’s opinion from industry professionals working in the UAE construction industry. The research team did not get access to project documents, contracts and project progress reports which may be required to validate the interview findings, and to perform an in-depth analysis quantifying the impact of COVID 19 on construction projects performance, which is a limitation of this research. Practical implications The implication is that, owing to the imposed lockdowns and strict precautionary measures to curb the rapid spread of the pandemic, smooth execution of the construction project across the country was affected. The government institutions and stakeholders of the construction projects introduced and implemented various techniques and solutions which effectively handled the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the construction industry of the UAE. Originality/value This study has identified the challenges faced by the construction industry of the UAE in the context of the management of project schedule, project cost, construction contracts, health and safety of construction employees and other related aspects of the construction projects. This study also identified the techniques and solutions adopted by various public and private institutions of the country and their implications on construction projects. Therefore, this study provides guidelines for policymakers and future research studies alike.

Disabled Workers

The inclusion of the ’physically healthy’ requirement in recruiting job vacancies has led to various interpretations. This practice has been going on for a long time and often violates persons with disabilities' rights to obtain equal employment opportunities. This study aims to analyze the interpretation of physical health requirements in the recruitment of job vacancies. Sources of research data are employers, disabled workers, and the Yogyakarta Provincial Government. Researchers analyzed legal norms and qualitative data, then presented descriptively. The study concluded that there had not been one interpretation from the employer, disabled workers, and the government about ‘being physically healthy.’ The term is often interpreted as ‘being physically complete.’ This biased interpretation discriminates against disabled workers entering the workforce.[Keberadaan syarat ‘sehat jasmani’ dalam rekrutmen lowongan kerja menimbulkan berbagai penafsiran, khususnya bagi tenaga kerja difabel. Praktik ini sudah berlangsung lama dan melanggar hak difabel untuk memperoleh kesempatan yang setara dalam lapangan pekerjaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis penafsiran syarat sehat jasmani dalam rekrutmen lowongan kerja. Sumber data penelitian adalah pihak pemberi kerja, tenaga kerja difabel, dan Pemerintah Provinsi Yogyakarta. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menganalisis norma hukum dan data kualitatif, kemudian disajikan secara deskriptif. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa belum ada kesatuan penafsiran dari pihak pemberi kerja, tenaga kerja difabel, dan pemerintah tentang kriteria sehat jasmani. Syarat sehat jasmani sering diartikan sebagai fisik yang lengkap. Hal mendiskriminasi tenaga kerja difabel dalam memasuki lapangan pekerjaan.]

Universal Nature

Human Rights as basic rights that are inherently inherent in human beings with universal nature, need to be protected, respected, and maintained, so that the protection and human rights of vulnerable groups, especially persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities also have the same right in employment opportunities to obtain welfare through equal employment opportunities without discrimination. Although the Government has paid attention to the rights of workers with disabilities at work including protection of accessibility, but unfortunately in reality these regulations do not work properly. People with disabilities are not unable to work but are not given the opportunity so they cannot work, persons with disabilities are not because of their will but it is God's will and does not mean they cannot do anything when there are disabilities who cannot see but they can walk, can hear , and so forth. Basically in the world of employment already has a legal umbrella, namely Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, which in it regulates, all matters relating to labor in the time before, during, and after the work period. The law also regulates the rights and obligations of business actors, the State and workers / laborers. So in this case concerning the rights of persons with disabilities who have equality and equality with other humans, especially in terms of work. The author would like to further analyze the rights of persons with disabilities to obtain employment in terms of their benefit, namely using the Islamic legal method Maslahah Mursalah.

In 2011, “What’s Cooking, Uncle Sam? The Government’s Effect on the American Diet” (WCUS) was exhibited at the Lawrence F. O’Brien Gallery of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC. Afterward, it toured the country, visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) David J. Sencer Museum in Atlanta, the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, and the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka. The exhibition website states that WCUS was “made possible” by candy corporation Mars, Incorporated. WCUS featured over a 100 artifacts tracing “the Government’s effect on what Americans eat.” Divided into four thematic sections (Farm, Factory, Kitchen, and Table), WCUS moves from agrarianism, through industrial food production and into mess halls, cafeterias, and individual kitchens. Photos, documents, news clippings, and colorful propaganda posters portray the government as a benevolent supporter of agriculture, feeder of soldiers and children, and protector of consumer health and safety. Visitors are positioned as citizens in an ideological mélange of paternalism and patriotism. In this rhetorical walk-through of the exhibition, we consider the display of archival materials for purposes of positioning, in consideration of past and present issues of diet and governance. Making explicit unstated assumptions, we claim that, although propagandistic artifacts take on different meanings to those viewing them decades later as memorabilia, they maintain their ideological flavor.

The Government

Children with disabilities (CWDs) are one of the most marginalised and excluded groups in the society. Facing daily discrimination in the form of negative attitudes, lack of adequate policies and legislation, they are effectively barred from realising their rights to healthcare, education and even survival. It has been estimated that exposure towards all forms of violence against CWDs is four-time greater than that of children without disabilities. Bangladesh has an estimated 7–10 million CWDs (out of a total of 72 million children, World Health Organisation Report). Most of the time, these children are treated as a burden to their families or the community and thus become subject to violence. There are very few specialised institutions with residential facility to take care of them. So, they are institutionalised in general residential institutions at a significantly higher rate than other children. But both the special and general residential institutions have lack of skilled human resources and knowledge of the special situation and needs of CWDs. Peer groups of the CWDs are also less sensitised, which result in further stigma and discrimination of CWDs. A 2010 study was done by the Ministry of Women and children Affairs. The findings from interviews with adolescents’ aged 13–16 in 12 locations of Dhaka City revealed their extreme vulnerability. In 2010, a study by Bangladesh Protibondhi Foundation that conducted a survey supported by the Save the Children Sweden–Denmark found that 51.4% of CWDs are either at risk of sexual abuse (12.5%) or have been sexually abused (38.9%).The government of Bangladesh has taken a number of legislative and policy steps that indicate commitment to advancing the rights of persons with disabilities. In terms of international instruments, Department of Social Services under Ministry of Social Welfare operates various types of institutions for the children and also CWDs. The study will adopt qualitative and quantitative methods to collect information from both primary and secondary sources and also assess the situation of government non-government organisations/religious institutions where CWDs have residential facilities in order to understand which factors contribute to increased vulnerability of these children.

Set Up

In 2015 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada concluded a six-year process of listening to the stories of Canada’s First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. More than 6000 witnesses came forth to share their personal experiences in listening sessions set up all across the country. These stories primarily revolved around their experience of abuse and cultural genocide through more than 100 years of Residential Schools, which were operated in a cooperative effort between churches and the government of Canada. The Commission’s Final Report includes 94 calls to action with paragraph #60 directed specifically to seminaries. This paper is a case study of how Taylor Seminary, in Edmonton, is seeking to engage with this directive. It explores the changes made in the curriculum, particularly in the teaching of missiology, and highlights some of the ways the seminary community is learning about aboriginal spirituality and the history and legacy of the missionary methods that have created conflict and pain in Canadian society.
