Mining

Hi, Well, companies will almost always oppose union representation for it's workers. It's the workers that usually seek union representation. Usually for several reasons including; better wages, better working conditions, having a grievance process, etc. If you have a business owner or boss that disrespects you, it's nice to have the union to go to and file a grievance. Then the union rep brings the problem to the attention of "management" to have it resolved without the worker feeling intimidated or having their job threatened. My experience with unions was in the trucking industry. The companies that weren't unionized treated their workers very well and paid good (union) wages. So you see, just the thought (or threat) of the workers voting in the union can keep a company from taking advantage of it's workers. Keep in mind that unions can be a two edged sword though. I had a friend that worked at a machine shop and before the union was voted in the wages were good and the working conditions were good. It was a very laid back place where if you stretched your coffee break or lunch a few minutes or stopped to talk to a co-worker on the way back from the restroom nobody cared. Well, somebody got the bright idea that if the guys voted in the union, maybe they could negotiate a better wage, etc. First of all the owner was heartbroken that "his guys" would do that to him and secondly and more importantly, the place became a prison. A 10 minute break was a 10 minute break!! Etc. Etc. You get the idea. Long story short. Ask yourself and your co-workers if you "need" union representation. Do you get a fair wage? Are working conditions OK? Are you forced to work overtime? Etc. Good luck and God Bless Hi I think that you have to look at the history of trade unions and the reasons they came into being. You have to remember that anything you are given as an employee comes out of company profits, or more importantly stockholder profits. So do you think a company wants to give you Veterans Day or Presidents Day off an pay you for it? No, of course not. A factory owner would like you working fourteen hours a day, 6 days a week, with only Christmas day off. No such thing as overtime at time and a half. And you either took the job at the rate you were told you would be paid (which of course was as little as possible) or you looked elsewhere. These conditions sound extreme, yet in 1900 these were very much conditions for working men in America and Europe. So in order to get better conditions, groups of men all doing the same work, like weavers or steampipe fitters decided that they could only get a better deal if they formed a Guild (later a union) and went to the employers to negotiate better conditions for all of them, or they would stop working. This was the only power they had...they were skilled craftsmen and if they stopped working the factory owners couldn't suddenly pull 500 steamfitters out of their bung holes. So, they negotiated with the guilds, maybe an extra dollar a week, maybe 12 hour days instead of 14, maybe a paid day off for thanksgiving. The problem for a union is that there are many unskilled positions that, if everyone walked off the job, the employer could replace the entire workforce and train them up within a week. This is why unions at McDonalds or Wal-Mart are not as strong as the Airline Pilots Union. But the real battles between unions and owners were in the first half of the 20th century when massive groups like auto workers tried to organize. They would strike and go on a picket line, and the owners, most noticeably Henry Ford who detested the idea that his workers might hold any power over him, bought in armed thugs to break up the picket lines, clubbing and shooting men, women and children, and starving the strikers back to work. By persevering and dying on the picket lines, ordinary men and women like those at Ford's Dearborn plant have won by their blood all the things you take for granted at work now. The 8-hour day did not become standard until the 1950s. The 5-day week in the 60s. The paid vacation days, the maternity leave pay, health insurance, even things like OSHA, who annoy bosses by making them spend money to stop you from falling into a blast furnace, are a direct result of unions fighting the power of management. If you have a strong stomach you might read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, which describes American workplaces before OSHA or the FDA. I warn you though, there are some VERY strong scenes in this book. You could also do a search on the Dearborn strike.

Uranium disadvantages:

1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment.

2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element.

3. Uranium release radium and radon.

4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated.

5. The landscape in the mines area is deteriorated.

Uranium advantages for Australia:

1. An important source of money.

2. An important source of energy.

3. Using labour force.

If you mean a gold pan, it is a shallow metal or plastic pan, about 12-14 inches in diameter, with sloping sides, usually a dark color. Modern day pans may have small grooves in the bottom to aid in capture of gold.

no mining does not have anything to do with mining i think i don't really no but i think it has nothing to do with animals

advantages to mining potash

Perhaps it can't say it detailed but the three main factors are social, economic and environmental factors which should be considered before mining a newly found mineral deposit.

Irish immigrants formed the largest ethnic group in the mining district.

A person without professional experience should not get rid of mining bees on their own. A professional should do this because of the health risk involved.

pit ponies were used to transport coal through the mine shafts they were usually treated cruelly and spent almost all their lives underground

A quarry is a type of "open pit" we excavate to remove minerals, ores or stone. We do this because most mineral or rock deposits are not on the earth's surface; we have to dig down to extract them. We can compare this to a "hole in the ground" that we enter to perform the same operation, but in an enclosed space, and this is called a mine. A quarry is one of the more efficient ways of getting materials we need. Without quarries, life as we know it could not exist. The products from quarries give us our homes, roads, hospitals -- even our schools! A typical family creates a need for about a lorry load of stone every year. There is a huge business associated with the recovery of material from sand to gravel to stone, both rough and dimensional and this is the aggregate industry. Links can be found below to gather more information.

The first mines were the tinmines of Cornwall and the lead mines of Derbyshire. Later coal was mined, first in Newcastle and then in the north and midlands and in South Wales. At one time the UK had 500,000 coal miners. Some mines were over half a mile deep. When the Industrial Revolution started it needed supplies of coal, iron ore and limestone. Limestone is available near the surface in many places. Whole hills have disappeared in Derbyshire. Iron ore was later excavated from just under the surface in Oxfordshire. Huge volumes of clay have been extracted in Bedfordshire for brickmaking. There are small gold and copper mines in Wales.

Possible environmental impacts include air pollution (fine particulate exposure), and some soil contamination from spilled powder, resulting in heavy metal contamination. Graphite is often mined using open pit mines, which need the vegetation removed from the site and the soil mined needs to be put somewhere else. The trees which took CO2 from the atmosphere and provided a habitat for animals have been destroyed which reduces air quality and destroys the animals' habitats which results in death and in extreme cases extinction. The milling process of graphite uses harmful chemicals and is very wasteful. Seepage from tailings dams are also a risk.

what is bad about hydraulic mining is that it destroyes lots of land and it effects the water source (depending if the water source is from a river or ocean) and kills fish and dries up water sources (unless it's from the ocean)

mutton,damper,potatoes,billy tea,salted beef jerky and if lucky cabbage or carrot and if very lucky fruit

it is helping the environment in many ways

they mainly ate mutton(meat),damper(bread) and tea.they also make jam,butter and soap.

Hydraulic mining

Can cause lung cancer

Because they leave lasting damage to the environment, including aquifers where people get their water. For example, there is a mine in the Santa Rita mountains where mining ended, the owners traded the land for others...and the creek water is ORANGE.

Rehabilitation is a legal requirement for mining companies in order to sustain the environment. Rehabilitation procedures include:

- drill holes are capped to stop local fauna falling down the holes

- backfilling trenches to support rehabilitation

- lining tailing ponds with earth to soak up spillage or lining it to prevent seepage

- ripping: soil is ripped to allow tree roots to penetrate through the soil and so that water can percolate through

- backfilling: holes/trenches are filled and contoured to give a natural slope

- top soil return: original soil that was removed upon extraction is replaced to ensure that seedlings can regenerate without introduced diseases or germs stunting growth

- planting seeds

- weeding

air pollution, dust pollution, it can effected animals and plants as its polluting the water that they drink. Its also using up land space and transport going to the miming is letting on CO2 into the atmosphere which is bad as it gets trapped.

Cassiterite is the primary ore of Tin, the mineral is found in hydrothermal veins and pegmatites associated with granite intrusions. Because of its durability it is also frequently found concentrated in alluvial placer deposits, often in large enough quantities to be commercially exploitable all over the world.

It destroyed hillsides and created polluted runoff.
