If must remind the interdiction of the boss to move out the containers by the Justice.That will be given to the workers for the next few days.They will decide themselves concluding materials and accessories that your company has between their hands. Here is the list of containers that will belong to the property of the workers: CNTR CHASSIS SEAL AMLU459126-1 4623-F 118214 AMLU 459740-2 4771-F 118215 SCSU450180-5 4778-F 118219 AMLU459759-4 4870-F 118212 SCSU450136-4 9212 118211 2- The workers of the CD Apparel will keep on striking to force the bosses of Hanes and of CD APPAREL to pay them damages with out taking a long time in fact of the time taken and cost of living.

He says to have asked to the responsibles of hanes to pay the workers immediatly for their due, what the responsibles have affirmatively responded to, but until now they don’t give him this money.The workers will be in doubt and don’t know what to do and who to trust. Let’s remember along the same week,Mr Frantz Piloge makes the workers understand they count on them in their fight to be compensated so is he by Hanes. He plays a game with the workers and these last ones have already showed their anger and are ready to other sacrifices. The workers want to believe that Mr Frantz Piloge is saying wrong things to your company in making the working understand that he works for foreign company “Hanes”and this is in the bad faith that it would not want to repay the Haïtian workers,there fore it has done it for other countries such as, Dominican Republic, Porto- Rico, Mexico and so on. He continues to say among the 50.000 workers around the world Working for Hanes, only the Haïtian workers who are operated and scored, learning on poverty and misery of the Haïtian.

On expecting to your report from the speech of Mr Frantz Piloge according to this relative Clash on damages. -the door of the workers remains opened to the dialog with the persons in charge of "hanes" for they are comprehensibles! It's up to you to decide on!!! Yours faithfully !!!
Hello to all, by the presents we want to attract the attention of the national public opinion and international on the brutal action of which the persons in charge of "hanes" did on the poor workers of cd apparel [hg] in haiti.that all the defenders of the human rights and the representatives of the trade-union organizations and press association in the world know that the action of hanesbrands to the Cd apparel's employees [Hg] in Haiti is a race discrimination because she refuses until now to pay “loads” or damages to these workmen as she intends to make it for all the other seedlings like: Dominican Rep.

[edit] Senority
The "Seniority" section should be updated to reflect the changes made after the 2010 election cycle, per the rankings within the extended article on seniority. For instance, Sen. Harkin is now 11th most senior while Sen. Bennett is 81st most senior. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.80.41 (talk) 16:49, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Call for vote on Non NPOV Claim in article
The statement:
"The Senate is often described by Americans as the "world's greatest deliberative body."
is considered to be Not a Neutral Point of View. The presence of the weasel words "... often described by Americans ..." serves only to justify the inclusion of a controversial opinion, not a proveable fact. The citations quoted are only citations of the opinion and not of the fact (and in any case would seem to be some of the Americans in point. Wikipedia is an encyclpedia and as such has a policy of not including material that is not written from a Neutral Point of View (See NPOV).
The vote is therefore, do youn agree that the sentence "The Senate is often described by Americans as the "world's greatest deliberative body." be included in the article. 86.178.181.182 (talk) 14:29, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- Disagree: Sentence fails the NPOV requirement. Practically all non Americans disagree with the claim anyway. 86.178.181.182 (talk) 14:29, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
-
- Remove Sentence For the record this is a straw poll and not a vote as Wikipedia is not a democracy. I have argued on this topic before and still believe the sentence is to POV and the addition to the sentence is weasel worded. The sentence should be in a separate section in the article if included in the article at all. I say remove the sentence form the article and have argued my point on this before so will not dredge them back up again.--Lucy-marie (talk) 15:04, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- I note that the sentence has been reworded, but in my view, it still fails the NPOV test. 86.176.156.193 (talk) 18:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
It's just a nickname for the Senate. Disneyland might not be the happiest place on Earth in everyone's mind, but it can still be called that. 72.211.211.3 (talk) 23:55, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- What's missing from the article is the important information that this phrase is usually used ironically and derisively in the American media. Modify or remove. --FormerIP (talk) 00:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
-
- As currently worded, it is fact and reliably sourced; that the statements are opinion can be noted, but find a source, then include it. 75.203.65.141 (talk) 14:47, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm rather amazed that the phrase is still in the lede. Has anyone checked the sources cited? They all quite clearly are deriding the notion that the Senate is the "world's greatest deliberative body," something that is not at all apparent in the lede. It's time for someone to get the history of the phrase, then note that today the phrase is, at the very least, often used to mock the Senate. If anyone says the phrase without irony these days, I'd be surprised. Canada Jack (talk) 23:07, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Lisa Murkowski
Because Lisa Murkowski is no longer a Republican, the article should probably show that, including a different color for Alaska in the maps. There are now 3 independents, 2 who caucus with the Democrats, and 1 who caucuses with the Republicans. 192.135.179.248 (talk) 19:54, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- That's a tough question. Murkowski did not receive the official Republican nomination in the Alaska Senate race, but has she ever officially left the party? I don't see where being a write-in candidate makes her not a member of the Party. This is distinctly different than Bernie Saunders, for example, who is a declared independent. Has Murkowski ever declared herself to be an independent, or formally left the Republican party? --Jayron32 21:02, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- This similar to Joe Liberman who failed to gain the democratic nomination in Connecticut, but he is not listed as a democrat as he founded his own party Connecticut for Liberman. I have not heard of any sources stating Murkowski has left the republican party or joined another party. It would have been the same as Arlen Specter winning as a write-in in Pennsylvania. Specter lost the democratic primary but never left the party so if he had won by write in he would have still been a democrat although not the democrat which won the primary.--Lucy-marie (talk) 23:11, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- She is still a Republican, until she or the Republican party say otherwise, and you can source it; that she won as a write-in candidate does not change that, though in some other states it would. 75.204.2.197 (talk) 23:37, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Criticism section
There should be one. The Senate is one of the most disproportional (since Wyoming with 563.626 people and California with 37 million people have an equal say in it) legislative assemblies in the world and because of that one could argue, also one of the most undemocratic. Richard N. Rosenfeld makes a good case about it here:
http://www.harpers.org/archive/2004/05/0080035
Although a majority of americans would not agree with him (they might however if they would read his article), he still lists some valid points which could be included in a criticism section. If no one objects I will tackle this issue.
[edit] Careful with the citations
There are a number of citations to USGovInfo.com. That site redirects to usgovinfo.about.com, so the citation itself is a little misleading and using the about.com subdomain would be more informative as to the source of the citation. In any case, about.com largely took that information from www.senate.gov, so perhaps that should be the citation used instead, as the U.S. Senate website is more authoritative than about.com.
See, e.g., http://www.senate.gov/reference/common/faq/retirement_for_members.shtml and http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RL30631.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Satinlatin (talk • contribs) 06:07, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
