Union Decisions On Collective Bargaining Goals: A Proposal For Interest Group Participation, Eileen Silverstein

Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

What employers may do to deal with this problem under existing law, and possible resolutions of some apparent conflicts between the underlying purposes of these laws, will also be delineated. It is the position of this article that the competing interests of employers, workers, and workers' offspring must be harmonized not by excluding …
