(From NYTimes.com) HIROSHIMA, Japan — Six young Chinese women arrived in this historic city three summers ago, among the tens of thousands of apprentices brought to Japan each year on the promise of job training, good pay and a chance at a better life back home. Instead, the women say, they were subjected to 16-hour workdays assembling cellphones at below the minimum wage, with little training of any sort, all under the auspices of a government-approved “foreign trainee” program that critics call industrial Japan’s dirty secret.

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With nearly 60 percent of companies becoming more dependent on their contingent labor programs over the next two years, The Contingent Labor Management 2010 Report, published by the Aberdeen Group, found that companies will have a greater number of Statement-of-Work (SOW), Independent Contractors (IC) and services-based work employees. The report, sponsored by Guidant Group Inc., a managed services and talent acquisition consulting company, takes an in-depth look at how companies can better manage their ever-expanding contingent workforce, including ICs and SOWs. It suggests companies can manage their contingent workforce by exhibiting spending control and securing a quality contingent workforce as they focus on: Key performance metrics required to derive value from temporary workers Core technologies and solutions that help leverage, track and organize contingent spending and labor, such as Managed Service Providers (MSP), Vendor Management Systems (VMS) and Independent Contractor Engagement Specialists (ICES) Read more.

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–U.S. employers are reporting a 2.5% average salary budget increase across all employee categories for 2010, which means many employees may expect a base pay raise of around 2.5% before the year is over. However, the size of the raise changes when the employee’s performance is factored in. Low performers can expect to see minimal increases of up to 0.7% or nothing at all, middle performers might expect a nominal base pay raise of 2.4%, and high performers may expect an average of 3.7% (54% higher than a middle performer). Surveyed employers reported that roughly 24% of employees are rated as high performers, while most are classified as middle performers. Read more.

This interesting information was posted on a Canadian discussion board where the members were talking about United First Financial . As you saw here, some of the top people in UFF see that the company is going under , and are looking for a way to take this horrible software to a new company, and leave all the dead weight agents behind. Too bad users aren’t actually using the software anymore, according to the below. A little more info: There have been approximately 30,500 Money Merge Accounts sold. UFirst recorded the unique users who logged into their version 3 and version 4 MMA accounts from January through April of this year. Here are their findings: v3: Jan 953 Feb 896 Mar 891 Apr 787 v4: Jan 7534 Feb 7328 Mar 7401 Apr 6968 Though sales are slowly increasing by approximately 200 per month, logins are declining by about 188 per month. Assuming new clients at least login during their first month, that means approximately 400 people are abandoning the MMA, every month. In April, when UFirst had approximately 30,000 paid or paying MMA customers, there were only 7755 unique logins. That’s only 26% of their clients. There is one inescapable fact to extract from this: Almost 75% of MMA users have abandoned the product. Please don’t waste your $3,500 on this useless software .
