What is a risk retention group?

Liability insurance companies owned by their policyholders. Membership is limited to people in the same business or activity, which exposes them to similar liability risks. The purpose is to assume and spread liability exposure to group members and to provide an alternative risk financing mechanism for liability. These entities are formed under the Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986. Under law, risk retention groups are precluded from writing certain coverages, most notably property lines and workers' compensation. They predominately write medical malpractice, general liability, professional liability, products liability and excess liability coverages. They can be formed as a mutual or stock company, or a reciprocal.

If you lost three fingers in an accident and your ADD policy pays for the loss of four fingers could you get a partial settlement?

Read the language in the contract. If they provide for partial benefits they will be stated there. If it is not specifically stated then no, they will not do that. The payment for the loss of 4 fingers IS a partial settlement. Full payment is the amount you would get for total disability or death. I suspect the policy may be written in such a way that the loss of three more fingers in a separate accident could still result in no payment since neither incident resulted in a covered loss. Unless it's clearly spelled out there's different ways the contract could be interpreted. Does it mean it will cover up to 4 fingers? Does it mean that there must be a loss of 4 fingers minimum before they pay for it? Does it have to be specifically 4 fingers or else they won't even pay for 4 of them? Get a good lawyer and argue that the interpretation that it covers up to 4 fingers is the correct interpretation.

What is the difference between emotion work and emotional labor?

Emotional labour is when a service agent displayes feelings that they would not normally feel in a certain situation. An example would be an air stewardess being polite to a customer even when he was being rude and chauvanistic towards her.

Emotional work even though it is the display of emotions that one does not feel, is different. An example of emotional work would be telling your granny you liked the present she got you for christmas even though you dont.

They differ in three areas: the profit motive, the unequal relationship and the control of feelings.

1. Profit motive - in emotional labour the profit goes to the airline company. In emotional work the profit goes to you as you feel better about what you have done.

2. Unequal relationship - you have a much more equal relationship with your granny than the stewardess does with the customer - why? Because you are choosing to display the feelings you are, the air stewardess has to continue to, no matter what the customer does.

3. Control of feelings - the airline control your feelings and you do not in the first ex. In the second, you do.
