> I saw your message and thought I’d reply as the State Law Library often gets questions about this topic. Although it requires gathering materials from a number of agencies, workplace posters are generally available online for no cost. MIOSHA workplace posters
may be found online (it is better to call the office directly for some of the posters as they may be hard to print) at
<a href="http://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-11407_30453-174563--,00.html">

This company's sales tactics are beyond aggressive. They have wasted hours of staff time by repeatedly calling and bullying staff members. We have purchased our Labor Law posters from this company at various times in the past. They have not been our only supplier
but we have used their product to save money by switching companies periodically. We will NEVER do business with them again. They have repeatedly called our business over the last month. Their verbiage is alarming and threatening ... making front line staff
feel panicked and concerned. They have tried to get staff to make purchases they aren't authorized to do based on fear tactics. They refuse to take NO for an answer. I told them I receive their emails and will contact them if I need anything, but that did
not help. Today, they harassed the Assistant Director for 15 minutes and then demanded my personal phone number saying our account was "flagged". When I arrived, I spoke with the salesperson and demanded to be removed from their contact list stating that we
will not do business with them again and not to contact us further. <br id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438958661967_3252">

I want to be removed from their contact list in every way possible... I do not want them to contact us further.
