Under the common law, an employer is under a duty to furnish an employee with a sufficient number of competent fellow employees for the work involved.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved an application from Monsanto to plant genetically engineered alfalfa seeds that resist Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. Several environmental groups brought suit to stop the planting because the USDA did not complete an EIS in carving out an exception for genetically engineered crops. The fear is that the crops contain a bacterial gene that allows farmers to spray their fields for weeds without harming the alfalfa or other crops because the bacteria allows the crops to resist the weed spray. How do you think the court rules in this case?

Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The court held that an EIS was not required when a federal agency made one decision to make an exception to an existing policy and affecting only one company. The court held that there was no evidence submitted by the environmental groups that there would be harm to the environment. Rather, there was general opposition to all genetically engineered products, a position not grounded in fact.
