Federal Labor Law Preemption Of State Anti-Takeover Law: A Case Of First Impression—Air Line Pilots Association, International V. Ual Corp., 874 F.2d 439 (7th Cir. 1989), Patrick M. Madden Apr 1990

Federal Labor Law Preemption Of State Anti-Takeover Law: A Case Of First Impression—Air Line Pilots Association, International V. Ual Corp., 874 F.2d 439 (7th Cir. 1989), Patrick M. Madden

Washington Law Review

Federal labor laws generally preempt state laws that conflict with or frustrate the federal labor scheme. In Air Line Pilots Association, International v. UAL Corp., the Seventh Circuit held that federal law did not preempt an anti-takeover statute that invalidated anti-takeover provisions in a collective bargaining agreement. This Note analyzes the court's holding and suggests that the court misapplied judicial precedent. Because state anti-takeover laws as applied to labor agreements conflict with and frustrate the federal labor scheme, this Note concludes that these state laws should be preempted.


The Defense Case For Rico Reform, Terrance G. Reed Apr 1990

The Defense Case For Rico Reform, Terrance G. Reed

Vanderbilt Law Review

Frequent use of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970 (RICO)' by government and private litigants has prompted a chorus of criticism during the last five years. This criticism has not been restricted to the narrow confines of the legal profession;many respectable newspapers recently have issued calls for the outright repeal of RICO. Attorneys who regularly defend against criminal or civil RICO allegations cannot take credit for the increasing dissatisfaction with RICO. Rather, it is the successes, and indeed the excesses, of RICO's proponents that have tarnished the statute's image. RICO's revolutionary application to increasingly broad areas of …


A Conceptual, Practical, And Political Guide To Rico Reform, Gerard E. Lynch Apr 1990

A Conceptual, Practical, And Political Guide To Rico Reform, Gerard E. Lynch

Vanderbilt Law Review

RICO is nearing its twentieth birthday,' but it may not be a happy one. In fact, 'tis the season for critics of RICO to be, if not jolly, at least highly active. A House subcommittee and the Senate Judiciary Committee have held hearings on RICO reform, the popular and business press has published numerous debates and criticisms involving fairly arcane points of civil and criminal law, scholars and lawyers have filled law reviews and legal newspapers with articles often critical of the statute, and the pressure has been building for statutory changes.

As the pressure for change has intensified, and …


Employment Leave: Foundation For Family Policy, Mary Jane Gibson Mar 1990

Employment Leave: Foundation For Family Policy, Mary Jane Gibson

New England Journal of Public Policy

Women and men in the workforce face difficult dilemmas during family crises. Can one be a responsible family member and a responsible employee when an elderly parent is ill, a spouse is disabled, a baby is born or adopted, a child is sick? Employment leave with insurance for wage replacement is a cornerstone of family policy proposed in a workable format in H. 2191 now before the Massachusetts legislature. It can be a model for other states and, someday, the nation.

Women Denied Partnerships: From Hishon To Price Waterhouse V. Hopkins, Gerald A. Madek, Christine Neylon O'Brien Jan 1990

Women Denied Partnerships: From Hishon To Price Waterhouse V. Hopkins, Gerald A. Madek, Christine Neylon O'Brien

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article reviews the seminal Supreme Court decision governing access to partnership status in professional settings in the context of a sex discrimination challenge. As women entered the workforce in record numbers, they thrived against the backdrop of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts. There were still obstacles however, to the complete participation of women in the workforce one generation later. Although legal precedent existed for the equal treatment of women in low and middle management jobs, this was not the case for women seeking executive and partner-level jobs. The Supreme Court considered this issue in the case, Price Waterhouse v. …

At-Will Employment: Going, Going, Cheryl S. Massingale Jan 1990

At-Will Employment: Going, Going, Cheryl S. Massingale

University of Richmond Law Review

The doctrine of at-will employment is undergoing serious erosion. At-will employment has traditionally meant that either party in an employment relationship is free to terminate employment at any time for any reason. In recent years, however, court rulings have created many exceptions to the at-will rule, and the current status of the doctrine offers little certainty as to whether a particular dismissal decision will result in liability for wrongful termination.

English-Only Rules And The Right To Speak One's Primary Language In The Workplace, Juan F. Perea Jan 1990

English-Only Rules And The Right To Speak One's Primary Language In The Workplace, Juan F. Perea

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Article analyzes the issues raised by English-only rules and the decisions discussing these rules. Part I reviews the leading cases on English-only rules. The Article then explores several issues that must be considered in deciding any English-only rule case under Title VII. Part II addresses whether speaking one's primary language should constitute a protected right as an aspect of national origin under Title VII. This Article argues that primary language should be protected under Title VII for several reasons: the courts and the EEOC construe the term "national origin" broadly; primary language constitutes a fundamental aspect of ethnicity and …
