Subject: MEMO - Late Hours Policy

We have had some problems recently with security issues on evenings and weekends. Many employees are working overtime on end-of-fiscal year projects and find themselves alone in the building late at night. Several employees have expressed concern to me that they feel unsafe, and managers have also told me that they do not know how to train their employees on correct
security procedures.

As your security manager, I want to assure you that I am working with the company management to address your concerns. We have agreed that it is best to hire a full-time security guard who will be present on evenings and weekends. However, since it will still be several weeks before the security guard can be hired, I want to provide all employees with a list of basic
security procedures to follow when they are working late at night:

1. Leave lights on in offices and hallways. A bright work environment discourages unauthorized intruders.

2. If you hear or see any suspicious activity, call the city police department immediately.

3. If you are the last person to leave the building, make sure that all doors and windows are closed and locked. Leave through the front door. Turn on the alarm by pressing the “AWAY” button on the keypad near the reception desk, then enter the alarm code provided in the employee manual. Close the door firmly when you leave, and the alarm will automatically be activated.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at gaston@linkacctg.com. I look forward to working with you to make our company a safe and productive place to work.

Hard Times Ahead for Local Graduates

Billy Roybal just graduated from Centerville Community College with a degree in semiconductor manufacturing technology. Like the other 30 students who enrolled in his class two years ago, he was told that after graduation, he was virtually guaranteed a well-paying job at the Supreme Semiconductor plant. However, Billy and most of his classmates are either out of work or preparing to move elsewhere. The reason: Supreme Semiconductor recently announced a hiring freeze.

Graduates of the community college training program aren't the only ones who are upset. Officials at Centerville City Hall are debating whether to sue Supreme Semiconductor for breach of contract. Five years ago, the city partnered with Centerville Community College and Supreme Semiconductor in an innovative training agreement. The city agreed to give the semiconductor company a significant tax break in return for funding the training program at Centerville Community College. Supreme Semiconductor, for its part, hoped to benefit with a steady stream of well-trained local workers who would help the company expand over the next 20 years.

However, changes in the highly competitive computer technology industry have led to less business for Supreme Semiconductor. Furthermore, pulling out of its contract to sponsor the community college program may not be the only downside. Karl Thompson, president of Supreme Semiconductor, told Central Valley Daily News that various problems could force the company to close by the end of the year, resulting in a loss of over 300 jobs in the Centerville area. He also said that company executives are hoping to meet with city officials to find some way of avoiding a lawsuit.

In the meantime, there are no easy answers for graduates such as Billy. He says finding a high-paying job is more important to him than staying in Centerville, so if a suitable job doesn't materialize within a few months he plans to look for employment in another state. As he and others leave, hopes for a bright future for the computer technology industry and Centerville are quickly fading. Some city officials are still hoping there is some way to keep Supreme Semiconductor open. Without it, said Mayor Charles Laughlin, the economy of Centerville will suffer a major blow.

Interoffice Memo

Allied Steel International

To: All Allied Steel Employees

From: Peter Rasmussen, Compensation
Committee President

Date: September 4, 2011

Today the president of Allied Steel, Eric Nelson, announced that he had agreed to our request for a 10% pay raise for all employees. As you know, this is something that we, your representatives, have been struggling to achieve for nearly two years. We have always argued that you, the workers who make this company succeed, should be the company's first priority. When the company is experiencing rapid growth, as Allied Steel has undoubtedly seen during the past five years, all employees of the company should see the financial benefits, not just a few top executives.

While it has taken a long time for us to convince the company management to increase all salaries, we are delighted that we have succeeded without having to form a labor union. We are not lawyers or professional lobbyists. I and the other members of the compensation committee are simply concerned employees who want to see fair pay for all of us. Furthermore, we did not take a confrontational approach. We always told the company management that we think Allied Steel is a great place to work. Our goal was not to make demands, but to present evidence from market studies to show that our position was reasonable.

Special thanks go out to Dr. Alvin Martlin, research engineer with Allied Steel, who spent countless hours of his personal time to do economic research in support of our efforts, showing that the company was paying lower salaries than our competitors. I also want to thank the ten members of the compensation committee, all of whom volunteered to participate and generously gave their time for meetings. I want to thank, as well, Eric Nelson and the Board of Trustees of Allied Steel for creating a work environment where the concerns of employees can be heard. Last, but not least, I want to thank you, the loyal employees of Allied Steel, for your constant support. You've made Allied Steel the best company in the business, and we're glad that we will now all receive pay that is well above average in our industry.
