UPS Must Add 2,000 Full-time Jobs
An arbitrator has ruled that United Parcel Service must create 2,000 full-time jobs in the next 90 days. The ruling stems from a dispute about the status of UPS workers who claimed they worked full-time hours for the company but were classified as "part-time" to avoid giving them benefits. The company must also pay back wages and benefits to those previously part-time workers.

Clinton Wants Family Leave Act to Cover Small Businesses
Saying that Americans should not be forced to choose between their families and their jobs, President Clinton has proposed allotting $20 million to help states offer paid leave to working parents. The move would expand the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act to cover the 10 million employees of small businesses. So far, more than 20 million Americans have taken advantage of the law, taking up to 12 weeks off to care for a newborn child or deal with a medical crisis.

Almost three-quarters of the workers surveyed say they use a computer at work at least one hour a day. A big majority -- 87% -- say their on-the-job computer use is dedicated to work-related activities.
