Vital asked:


Please advise me on what should I do to make them pay me?!!!

My former employer (the World Travel Awards Ltd) keeps ignoring the judgment of the Employment Tribunal London Central in relation to paying me a compensation for sex discrimination (on the grounds of maternity leave), constructive dismissal and unpaid wages.
The company failed to meet the 42-day deadline for this payment and never got in touch with me concerning the Employment Tribunal Judgement. I had to approach the County court to try to enforce the award. The company also ignores the court.
The World Travel Award Ltd ( calls itself the “Oscars” of the travel industry, http://www.worldtravelawards.com/index.php/wta/about_us/in_the_news/2005_london/the_wall_street_journal ). It deals with many respectable companies. The WTA shield is placed on the website of One World Alliance (the airliner alliance including BA, AA, Qantas and etc), and BBC WORLD is a media partner of the World Travel Awards).
Thanks!!

mismanagement, and the greater economy is suffering as a result. Bush’s TSA gleefully harasses everyone visiting America in his misguided “war on terra” to the point that no one wants to vacation here anymore. Furthermore, the average tourist from overseas has to put up with hostile glances from the typical Fox News viewers and accusations of “looking French” as they walk America’s shopping malls and sight-seeing places.

How did the tourism industry come to suffer so much from neocon rule? Did someone say to bush that he must declare war on “terrists” and bush misheard it as “war on tourists”?

critics slam changes to aircraft safety inspection system

Transport Canada’s man in charge of aviation safety doesn’t like the term SMS, referring to it as a “buzzword.” But Merlin Preuss has nevertheless spent a fair bit of time recently defending the concept, which he says will lead to a more accountable aviation industry — and safer skies. Critics such as retired justice Virgil Moshansky, on the other hand, argue that Transport Canada’s Safety Management Systems allows the industry to police itself, which is akin to “putting the fox in charge of the hen house.”

So as we move into an era of deregulation for many major industries, who are Canadians to believe?

SMS (Safety Management Systems), the shorthand Transport Canada uses to describe its new approach, makes the aviation industry responsible for implementing systems designed to ensure safe air travel in Canada. Under the concept, the federal department will do fewer direct safety audits of air carriers, instead keeping watch over safety checks done by the airlines themselves.

In a spring report, federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser examined Transport Canada’s march toward fully implementing its air safety management system. The report uses the following example to define the safety management system:

“For example, instead of conducting an inspection to assess whether the tires in the aircraft landing gear are sufficiently inflated, Transport Canada will assess whether a company has the systems in place to ensure that the tires are inflated, following up if necessary. The goal is to make companies more accountable for the management of risks. Transport Canada will still be accountable for safety oversight. The department maintains that safety management systems will allow more thorough identification and resolution of potential safety problems, making the transportation system safer.”

i dont know what this article means, and it is for socials. can someone explain it to me?
