This site is intended to be viewed at a screen resolution of 600 X 800 West Virginia, Land of Diversity West Virginia is a land of wide diversity. Mountains and valleys, deep forests, coal mines and expansive orchards all describe parts of the state. We were originally part of Virginia but in 1861 the people voted for succession and the state was split in 1863 to become the 35th state to enter the Union. Charleston is the state capitol. West Virginia is found entirely within the Appalachian Mountain chain. It is bordered by Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio and has a land area of 62,761 square kilometers or 24,232 square miles. The highest point, Spruce Knob, is 1482 meters high (4861 feet) and the lowest point, Harper's Ferry, is only 75 meters (247 feet). With an average altitude of 457 meters (1,500 feet), West Virginia has the highest average elevation of any state east of the Mississippi River. The beauty of the state lies in the tall mountains, deep valleys and expansive forests. That beauty has also caused the state to be isolated due to the difficulty of building roads and transportation of materials. Trees cover three-quarters of the state. The steep inclines of the rivers prevent navigation of many of the waterways due to rapids and rocks. However, those mountains and forests provide a wealth of raw materials for the industry of the state.

Although the Act does not require employers to provide fringe benefits to their employees, it does assure that employers follow through by providing the benefits they have included in their own company policy. Other provisions include requiring employers to meet their payroll at least once in every two weeks unless provided a special agreement; prohibiting unauthorized payroll deductions unless the employee has agreed to the deduction through a legal wage assignment and other issues regarding employer-employee responsibilities. Wage Bonds The Act also requires that, with the exception of those who have been doing business in this state for over five consecutive years, and are engaged in construction work or the severance, production or transportation of minerals must furnish a bond to protect the wages and benefits of their employees.

Famous Cases West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943) Mr. Justice JACKSON delivered the opinion of the court. Following the [ Gobitis ] decision, the West Virginia legislature amended its statutes to require all schools therein to conduct courses of instruction in history, civics, and in the Constitution of the United States and of the State "for the purpose of teaching, fostering and perpetuating the ideals, principles and spirit of Amercanism, and increasing the knowledge of the organization and machinery of the government." The Board of Education on January 9, 1942, adopted a resolution containing recitals taken largely from the Court’s Gobitis opinion and ordering that the salute of the Flag become "a regular part of the program of activities in the public schools," that all teachers and pupils "shall be required to participate in the salute honoring the Nation represented by the Flag; provided, however, that refusal to salute the Flag be regarded as an Act of insubordination, and shall be dealt with accordingly." The resolution originally required the "commonly accepted salute to the Flag" which it defined. Objections to the salute as "being too much like Hitler’s" were raised by the Parent and Teacher’s Association, the Boy and Girl Scouts, the Red Cross, and the federation of Women’s Clubs. Some modification appears to have been made in deference to these objections, but no concession was made to Jehovah’s Witnesses. What is now required is the "stiff-arm" salute, the saluter to keep the right hand raised with palm turned up while the following is repeated: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands; one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
