to 100 temporary employees are called in when needed. In the past, such workers often
were turned down routinely by personnel managers, even for the most menial jobs.
Obviously, such workers require training; just as obviously, this training can be
expensive and time-consuming. To share the costs, business and community leaders
have joined together in a number of cooperative programs. One particularly successful
partnership is the national alliance of Business (naB), a joint business–government
program to train the hard-core unemployed. The alliance’s 5,000 members include
companies of all sizes and industries, their CEOs and senior executives, as well as educators and community leaders. NAB, founded in 1968 by President Lyndon Johnson
and Henry Ford II, is a major national business organization focusing on education
and workforce issues.

The social consciousness of responsible business managers, the encouragement of
a concerned government, and an increasing concern on the part of the public have
led to a major effort to reduce environmental pollution, conserve natural resources,
and reverse some of the worst effects of past negligence in this area. Pollution is the
contamination of water, air, or land through the actions of people in an industrialized
society. For several decades, environmentalists have been warning us about the dangers
of industrial pollution. Unfortunately, business and government leaders either ignored
the problem or were not concerned about it until pollution became a threat to life and
health in America. Today, Americans expect business and government leaders to take
swift action to clean up our environment—and to keep it clean.
effects of environmental legislation
As in other areas of concern to our society, legislation and regulations play a crucial
role in pollution control. The laws outlined in Table 2.5 reflect the scope of current
environmental legislation: laws to promote clean air, clean water, and even quiet work
and living environments. Of major importance was the creation of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the federal agency charged with enforcing laws designed to
protect the environment.
When they are aware of a pollution problem, many firms respond to it rather than
wait to be cited by the EPA. Other owners and managers, however, take the position
that environmental standards are too strict. (Loosely translated, this means that compliance with present standards is too expensive.) Consequently, it often has been necessary for the EPA to take legal action to force firms to install antipollution equipment
and to clean up waste storage areas.
Experience has shown that the combination of environmental legislation, voluntary compliance, and EPA action can succeed in cleaning up the environment and
keeping it clean. However, much still remains to be done.
water Pollution The Clean Water Act has been credited with greatly improving the
condition of the waters in the United States. This success comes largely from the control of pollutant discharges from industrial and wastewater treatment plants. Although
the quality of our nation’s rivers, lakes, and streams has improved significantly in
recent years, many of these surface waters remain severely polluted. Currently, one of
the most serious water-quality problems results from the high level of toxic pollutants
found in these waters.
Among the serious threats to people posed by water pollutants are respiratory
irritation, cancer, kidney and liver damage, anemia, and heart failure. Toxic pollutants
also damage fish and other forms of wildlife. In fish, they cause tumors or reproductive problems; shellfish and wildlife living in or drinking from toxin-laden waters also
have suffered genetic defects. Recently, the Pollution Control Board of Kerala in India
