Labor Law - Picketing - Peaceful Picketing For Recognition By Minority Union, Roger W. Findley S.Ed.
Labor Law - Picketing - Peaceful Picketing For Recognition By Minority Union, Roger W. Findley S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner union was certified as exclusive bargaining representative of an employees' unit in 1953. When contract negotiations faltered, the union called a strike and began picketing the employer's retail store. The picketing continued for two years during which time the employer permanently replaced the strikers with non-union employees. In 1955 the union lost a new representation election by a vote of 28 to 1 and was decertified. When the picketing persisted, the employer petitioned the National Labor Relations Board, charging the union with an unfair labor practice. The Board, after finding that the union's objective was exclusive recognition, held that …
The Law Of The Collective Agreement, Charles O. Gregory
The Law Of The Collective Agreement, Charles O. Gregory
Michigan Law Review
The Wagner Act contained no law governing collective agreements. Congress left their enforcement to the state and federal courts under the miserable body of common-law rules. Under various theories the courts worried about consideration, mutuality of obligation, duress and public policy aspects as if they were dealing with conventional contracts.
Labor Law - Arbitration - Power Of Arbitrator To Enjoin Union From Continuing Slowdown, Lawrence M. Kelly
Labor Law - Arbitration - Power Of Arbitrator To Enjoin Union From Continuing Slowdown, Lawrence M. Kelly
Michigan Law Review
An arbitrator, acting under a collective bargaining agreement which called for a "speedy arbitration" procedure, issued an award enjoining the unions from continuing a slowdown in violation of that clause of the agreement forbidding strikes, lockouts, and slowdowns. A Supreme Court order granted the employers' motion to confirm the award and overruled the unions' cross motion to vacate. The unions claimed that the arbitrator, in issuing the injunction, had exceeded the powers granted him under the agreement and had acted contrary to section 876a of the Civil Practice Act (the New York Anti-Injunction Act). The Appellate Division affirmed the order …

Labor Law - Lmra - Status Of A Walkout Prompted By Health Reasons In The Face Of A No-Strike Clause, Robert E. Hammell S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The employer and the union were covered by a contract which contained a no-strike clause. In spite of this agreement, buffers in the employer's plant walked off their jobs when a blower in the buffing room failed to carry away dust and cool the area properly. The trial examiner found that the walkout was a protected concerted activity and not a strike, and that the employer had therefore committed an unfair labor practice by refusing to permit the buffers to return to their jobs when the blower had been repaired. On exceptions taken to these findings, the NLRB reviewed and …

Labor Law - Collective Bargaining - Duty Of Employer To Allow Union Time Study, Paul A. Heinen S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A dispute arose between the employer and the union as to whether certain duties performed by an employee should be classified as "special assignments" as defined in the labor contract. If these duties were "special assignments" the employee was entitled to a higher job classification. Before arrangements could be made for the third step of the grievance procedure the union asked for permission to enter the plant and analyze the job. Permission was denied by the management and the union filed a charge of unlawful refusal to bargain. The trial examiner found that by refusing the union's request the employer …
Labor Law - Collective Bargaining - Unprotected Activities Of Union As Violation Of Duty To Bargain In Good Faith, Hazen V. Hatch S.Ed.
Labor Law - Collective Bargaining - Unprotected Activities Of Union As Violation Of Duty To Bargain In Good Faith, Hazen V. Hatch S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
During negotiations for a new contract, the union engaged in harassing action against the employer by promoting an organized refusal to work overtime, extending rest periods without authorization, directing employees to refuse to work special hours, encouraging slow-downs and unannounced walkouts, and inducing employees of a subcontractor not to work for their employer. There was no specific demand which the activity was designed to enforce. The National Labor Relations Board found that this activity was evidence of a failure on the part of the union to bargain in good faith, and was, therefore, a violation of section 8 (b) (3) …
