In business , employee raiding is the practice of unlawfully inducing an employee to leave one employer and take up employment with another employer. The purpose of employee raiding is usually to gain access to unique or rare knowledge or skills which the employee may possess. Taking the employee gives the raider an unfair competitive advantage. Ethical and legal dilemmas over employee raiding arise from the conflict of interests between an employee s right to free access to the labour market, and an employer s right to protect knowledge and skills which it regards as company property. Employers may attempt to protect themselves against the most damaging effects of employee raiding by inserting non compete clause s into employment contracts. With increasing competition between companies sharing the same field of business, there have been non disclosure forms for employees to sign, preventing employee raiding. The extreme difficulty in verifying this is a major example of how it poses a threat to all companies.

The F470 Combat Rubber Raiding Craft CRRC , also known as the Combat Rubber Reconnaissance Craft, is a specially fabricated rubber inflatable boat often used by United States Navy SEALs and United States Marine Corps Marines , among others. Though Zodiac Marine & Pool produces a large range of both inflatable and rigid hulled boats, the name Zodiac has become synonymous with the CRRC in popular culture. Function The boat can be used for over the horizon transportation, inserting lightly armed raiding parties or reconnaissance teams onto beaches, piers, offshore facilities and larger vessels. The CRRC can be inflated in minutes by foot pump, compressor or CO sub 2 sub tank and can be deployed from shore and a variety of vessels. Additionally, it can be launched from several types of aircraft and submarines equipped with a special lockout chamber . Its chief advantages are light weight, compact size when stowed, and the safety imparted by its super buoyant nature which gives it the ability to operate in relatively high seas stealth, and versatility. A total of eight individual airtight chambers comprise the F470. The main hull or gunwale contains five intercommunicating chambers, which are separated by internal baffle s and valve s. This means that a single leak will not result in loss of pressure throughout the boat, and that air can be bled between chambers to compensate for loss in one. Two additional chambers, located below the gunwale on either side and called speed skags, provide cushioning for the boat s occupants and additional buoyancy in case of pressure loss in the hull. The final chamber is an inflatable keel tube which runs the length of the craft and gives the bottom of the hull a V shape, imparting directional stability and additional shock absorption.
