Labor Law--Injunctions--Order Restraining Election Aboard "Flag-Of-Convenience" Vessel, Lee D. Powar
Michigan Law Review
Upon petition of the National Maritime Union, the National Labor Relations Board directed a representation election among all unlicensed foreign seamen employed by Empresa Hondurena de Vapores, S.A., aboard a Honduran-registered ship. Empresa, a Honduran corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the United Fruit Company, sought injunctive relief in a federal district court. The petition alleged that the Board's order violated treaty obligations, the Constitution of the United States and principles of international law. The Regional Director of the NLRB moved to dismiss, asserting that the district court lacked jurisdiction to enjoin such an order and that the Board's …
Labor Law-Collective Bargaining Agreements-Implied Limitation On Management's Right To Subcontract, A. Paul Victor
Labor Law-Collective Bargaining Agreements-Implied Limitation On Management's Right To Subcontract, A. Paul Victor
Michigan Law Review
During the existence of a collective bargaining agreement which included both exclusive recognition and union shop clauses but did not include a management prerogatives clause, defendant employer, without the consent of the plaintiff union, contracted out janitorial work which had previously been performed by three of its employees. Subsequently, these employees were laid off and the plaintiff's protest, though in compliance with all grievance procedures, was unsuccessful. Thereupon, the plaintiff sought declaratory judgment relief under section 301 of the Labor-Management Relations Act, alleging that the defendant had no right to subcontract work customarily performed on its premises by its employees …
Labor Law-Unemployment Compensation-Applicable Disqualification Provision Where Claimant Is Discharged For Unauthorized Walkout, L. R. Bishop
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff was discharged by his employer for participating in a walkout which was not authorized by the union of which he was a member and which was in violation of the applicable collective bargaining agreement. In passing upon his subsequent application for unemployment compensation, the Appeal Board ruled that he was disqualified from receiving benefits for the duration of his unemployment because his actions had constituted "misconduct" under section 29(1)(a)(2) of the Michigan Employment Security Act. The circuit court reversed, holding that the "misconduct" provision did not apply and that plaintiffs acts were properly cognizable under section 29(1)(b) which provides …

Administrative Procedure-Enforcement Of Nlrb Orders-Power Of Cour Of Appeals To Modify Scope Of Consent Order, Lee D. Powar
Michigan Law Review
A complaint issued by the National Labor Relations Board charged respondents, an employer and two labor unions, with illegally maintaining a closed or preferential shop. Following the issuance of the complaint, a settlement agreement was reached in which respondents stipulated to waive a hearing and all other proceedings to which they might be entitled under the National Labor Relations Act or under rules and regulations of the Board. Respondents also consented to the entry of a broad cease-and-desist order and a subsequent decree in which they were ordered to refrain from unlawful preferential hiring arrangements with each other, or with …
Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--State Jurisdiction To Prosecute Labor Organizers For Criminal Trespass, John W. Galanis
Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--State Jurisdiction To Prosecute Labor Organizers For Criminal Trespass, John W. Galanis
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, non-employee union organizers, entered the parking lot of a retail department store without permission for the sole purpose of distributing union material to the store's employees. After continued refusal to comply with requests to leave, the defendants were arrested, tried, and convicted of criminal trespass. It was contended that the trial court lacked jurisdiction because the National Labor Relations Act had pre-empted state control of the labor activities involved. On appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court, held, affirmed. State jurisdiction was justified not only by the state's interest in domestic peace and the protection of employer's property rights, …
Labor Law-Collective Bargaining Agreements-Sham Exception To The Parol Evidence Rule In Welfare Trust Fund Agreement, John M. Price
Labor Law-Collective Bargaining Agreements-Sham Exception To The Parol Evidence Rule In Welfare Trust Fund Agreement, John M. Price
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, shortly after commencing a small-scale strip-mining operation, signed a standard United Mine Workers collective bargaining agreement. He claimed that before signing he informed the union representative that he could not pay the union wage scale, or the specified royalty payments to the plaintiffs, trustees of the union welfare and retirement fund, and that he signed only after being assured that the agreement was a mere formality. Defendant did not pay union wages, and sent monthly checks to the plaintiffs only in amounts he felt he could afford. Plaintiffs brought suit on the written agreement for payment of the royalties …
Labor Law-Picketing-Per Se Application Of Washington Coca Cola Doctrine Overruled By The Nlrb, John W. Galanis
Labor Law-Picketing-Per Se Application Of Washington Coca Cola Doctrine Overruled By The Nlrb, John W. Galanis
Michigan Law Review
During a labor dispute with an electrical contractor, a union picketed the job site, the premises of a neutral employer, rather than the office of the primary employer where the contractor's employees reported for a few minutes at the beginning and end of each work day. The picket signs stated that the union's dispute was only with the contractor, and the picketing was limited to the times when the contractor's employees were present (except that it did not stop when the contractor's employees left for lunch and coffee breaks) . The neutral employer filed a complaint with the National Labor …
Labor Law-Duty To Bargain-Disclosure To Union Of Costs Of Noncontributory Group Insurance, Burton L. Raimi
Labor Law-Duty To Bargain-Disclosure To Union Of Costs Of Noncontributory Group Insurance, Burton L. Raimi
Michigan Law Review
In the course of bargaining for a new contract with an employer, the union requested information regarding the costs and benefits of a noncontributory group health insurance program which the employer provided for its employees. Petitioner provided a breakdown of the plan's benefits but refused to disclose its cost. Charging that this refusal amounted to a violation of the employer's statutory duty to bargain in good faith about "wages,'' the union procured the issuance of a complaint by the National Labor Relations Board. The trial examiner concluded that such costs were costs of production rather than wages and consequently did …
