Employers are not required to list jobs except in certain circumstances. It has nothing to do with company size.

Just to support your comments Rei: I'd like to point out that sulfuric acid is the most widely manufactured industrial chemicals on the planet.

From the Wikipedia page (for those too lazy to find it themselves):

Sulfuric acid is a very important commodity chemical, and indeed, a nation's sulfuric acid production is a good indicator of its industrial strength.[27] World production in 2004 was about 180 million tonnes, with the following geographic distribution: Asia 35%, North America (including Mexico) 24%, Africa 11%, Western Europe 10%, Eastern Europe and Russia 10%, Australia and Oceania 7%, South America 7%.[28] Most of this amount (~60%) is consumed for fertilizers, particularly superphosphates, ammonium phosphate and ammonium sulfates. About 20% is used in chemical industry for production of detergents, synthetic resins, dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, petroleum catalysts, insecticides and antifreeze, as well as in various processes such as oil well acidicizing, aluminium reduction, paper sizing, water treatment. About 6% of uses are related to pigments and include paints, enamels, printing inks, coated fabrics and paper, and the rest is dispersed into a multitude of applications such as production of explosives, cellophane, acetate and viscose textiles, lubricants, non-ferrous metals and batteries.[29]

First, workplace accidents aren't personal injury cases. They're no-fault. It's like employers make a deal with employees.

The rest of what you said is also true, but doesn't need specifically addressed. The lawsuits I am speaking of is not a general liability type of suit, it is where a company acted illegally in ignoring safety or some other regulation which resulted in the employee's injury or death. An example might be a construction worker was ordered to go on top of a pitched roof in the middle of winter with ice and snow on it without the proper safety equipment or else face termination- which resulted in his or her injury or death.

Most work place accidents are no fault and worker's comp is supposed to cover medical costs and compensate for some lost wages. But when the employer acts in an intentional or egregious conduct, you sometimes have the ability to go outside the worker's comp system. This has generally always been the case but varies from state to state insomuch as what the bar is for intentional or egregious conduct. The state may have the bar so high that it is almost impossible to be a practical remedy but those states generally fine excessively and hold employer's criminally liable for violations.

Here are a few resources that show a little more details on the potential for lawsuits. Note, these are not simple accidents, they all involve the employer doing something intentionally unsafe without regard to safety or established protocols.

It's illegal to dock employees' pay for damage to the employer's property.

Are you sure? A quick Google suggests that this is true if the employee is exempt, if it wasn't in their contract, or if it would pull them below minimum wage, but not otherwise.

Section 13(a)(17) of the FLSA provides that certain computer professionals paid at least $27.63 per hour are exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA.
80K a year works out to somewhere around 40 bucks an hour.

They said they were wrongly classified as exempt, but TFA mentions IT positions. This explains a portion of who is exempt and who isn't. It looks to me like most IT jobs fit into exempt.

I guess I should be thankful I'm on salary, but still get hourly OT pay if I claim it. *grin*

5 males for every female in Alaska?

More like 107 males to every 100 females:

No worse than Massachusetts is for the ladies: 93 females for every 100 guys.

I don't know where that guy's "grey is boring" or "black is cool/exciting" crap came from, but there is a very good reason computers have traditionally used a black background. CRTs are like a light bulb. The brighter the colors on your monitor, the more light they emit, the more eyestrain you are going to have. I'm sure that is one of the reasons the US based OSHA was recommending people use what are essentially sunglasses for their monitor. I think dark backgrounds work better.

9. A bright screen causes eyestrain. ...

LCDs are not as bad, but the backlight seems to cause a similar effect. What really sucks is websites and browsers break when I try to set them to a dark background.

I'm not too sure what the problem is with colors on window decorations, as long as they are not too hot. I use sort of flashy gradients on the focused window myself...

You know, that could be because regulators have their heads up their collective asses about the true scope of the threat. It has happened before. I bet half of the chemicals on this list are more poisonous than they are given credit for, and the other half are far more useful than poisonous. Unfortunately, they all get painted with the same brush when anti-competitive industry interests and lobbyists get in bed with the regulators.
