"Forget it! We are not going to train our employees in first aid. Emergencies notwithstanding. I don't want a bunch of amateur doctors running around the company doing more harm than goo." Mary Vo Dinh, safety director for Gulf Coast Manufacturing, was getting nowhere trying to convince her boss that the company should have employees trained in first aid in the event of an emergency. "But John, we have had three hurricanes in just two years. Tornadoes are not uncommon here on the coast." I will repeat myself just one more time," said her boss, "No first-aid training." Who is right in this case? 2) What is your opinion? The city council members are in a real quandary about the request from International Plastics Corporation (IPC) to open a new plant on a 100 acre plot owned by the city. On one hand, the city needs the new jobs that the IPC plan would bring - badly. High unemployment is the city's mst serious problem, and every member of the city council ran on a job-creation platform in the last election. On the other hand, the council members have learned that IPC is not always a good corporate citizen in spite of its cleaims to the contrary. Several cities with IPC plants have had problems enforcing their safety and health regulations. The consensus amoung other cities is that IPC officials say all the right things until contracts are signed. Then, all of a sudden, they begin to procrastinate, stonewall, and break promises. Should the city council allow IPC to build the new plant?
