The correct citation of The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 is Public Law nary(prenominal) 109-8, 119. It became fully effective last October 17, 2005. The law implements the new means test to determine whether a debtor is eligible for liquidation which is found in chapter 7 or must file under wage-earner repayment plan found in chapter 13.In order to protect the interests of employees and for reasons of public interest, the law also set manage random audits and targeted audits to determine whether a liquidation and debtors bankruptcy documents are accurate (The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, 2009, p. 1). It is true(a) that businesses sometimes use bankruptcy as a means to address labor issues which includes reformed contract with the union.The same is true with the case of United air lane Company when it had merger proceedings with US Airways, wherein several union members complained. The labor union is composed o f the United Flight Attendants wherein its members fought for about 29 days to clear up the pilots contract dispute (AFA Announces United Flight Attendants Elect Militant Leadership, 2008, p. 1). The contract being fought for becomes successful due to the efforts of union members. Mr. Gardner violated the law.The notice of garnishment on the wages of Clarence Ellis has nothing to do with his excogitate in the company. It was a legal process wherein any person or entity with whom Mr. Ellis was indebted, may take his wages or money in the bank as payment. However, it was not related to the job of Mr. Ellis as laborer and carpenter. Hence, the grounds for firing him such as alcoholism, poor job performance, insubordination, and dishonesty being used by Mr. Gardner are not applicable. Therefore, Mr.Gardners act of firing Mr. Ellis is baseless. References CBS Interactive Inc. 4 April 2008. AFA Announces United Flight Attendants Elect MilitantLeadership.
