Labor Law- Recognition And Organizational Picketing - Unfair Labor Practice Charge Is A Prerequisite To Initiation Of The Expeditied Election Procedure Of Section 8 (B)(7)(C) Of The Nlra, Steven P. Davis Feb 1961

Labor Law- Recognition And Organizational Picketing - Unfair Labor Practice Charge Is A Prerequisite To Initiation Of The Expeditied Election Procedure Of Section 8 (B)(7)(C) Of The Nlra, Steven P. Davis

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff union commenced picketing a previously-unorganized company for the purpose of gaining recognition as the bargaining agent of the employees. The next day the union filed a petition with the NLRB seeking an election. Five days later the individual plaintiffs, Reed and Whitney, filed an unfair labor practice charge under section 8 (b) (7) of the National Labor Relations Act for the express purpose of invoking the expedited election procedure provided by the statute. This charge was prepared by and filed with the sanction of the picketing union. The NLRB refused to grant the expedited election. In an action for …


Protecting The Public Interest In Labor Disputes, Frank E. Cooper Apr 1960

Protecting The Public Interest In Labor Disputes, Frank E. Cooper

Michigan Law Review

There exists general agreement that an effective means must be found, in the public interest, to curb strikes in basic industries that imperil the national health or safety. This principle, indeed, has been a part of our basic law for more than a decade. The trouble has been that the limited means provided to meet this need fail to give effective expression to the public interest. The only significant remedy is that which the steel strike has made so well known: an 80-day injunction followed by an election in which the employees may indicate for publicity purposes whether they wish …

Labor Law - Nlra - "Roving Situs" Picketing As Violation Of Section 8(B)(4)(A), William K. Muir Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Respondent union sought to organize the crane and dragline operators of a manufacturer of ready-mixed cement and posted pickets about the local manufacturing plant. During the working day each of the employer's delivery trucks crossed the picket line at least twice. In addition, the union established a roving picket line which circulated about the manufacturer's trucks while they were making deliveries to customers at local construction sites. The roving picketing lasted only so long as the workers of the primary employer remained on the customer's premises. The pickets at all times stayed within six hundred feet of the trucks. The …

Labor Law - Organizational Picketing In Industries Not Affecting Interstate Commerce, Arne Hovdesven

Michigan Law Review

Representatives of defendant union approached plaintiff, proprietor of a small liquor store, with information that they planned to initiate an organizational campaign to obtain the membership of the store's three clerks, none of whom were members of any union at that time. Subsequent to this meeting, a picket line of two men was established and was maintained without any acts of violence, for over nineteen months until halted by a permanent injunction issued by the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division. The union did not make any demands upon plaintiff to sign a contract or to recognize it as bargaining …

Labor Law - Labor - Management Relations Act - Attempt To Institute Consumer Boycott As Unfair Labor Practice, George B. Berridge S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In attempting to induce certain employees of defendant, a manufacturer of bakery products, to join a bakery workers' union, the union and several labor councils picketed retail stores selling defendant's goods in Los Angeles. Placards carried by the pickets stated that defendant was non-union and on the 'We-do-not-patronize" list of various labor organizations. A California state court granted defendant a preliminary injunction against the picketing. Thereupon the National Labor Relations Board applied to federal district court for a preliminary injunction restraining defendant from invoking the injunction granted by the state court, claiming that since the unions' conduct was an unfair …

Rubin V. American Sportsmen Television Equity Soc. [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

Promoters were entitled to preliminary injunctions to prevent a corporation and individual wrestlers from picketing where the corporation was not a bona fide labor organization, and the individual wrestlers' labor activities were not protected.


Sommer V. Metal Trades Council [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter Mar 1953

Sommer V. Metal Trades Council [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

Because federal law did not protect a union's picketing and a secondary boycott that it originated, a California trial court had the power under the Jurisdictional Strike Act of California to preliminarily enjoin the union's activities.


Isthmian S.S. Co. V. National Marine Engineers Beneficial Asso. [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter Mar 1953

Isthmian S.S. Co. V. National Marine Engineers Beneficial Asso. [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

A preliminary injunction enjoining picketing was proper where the case was not necessarily close on its facts when the evidence most favorable to the party granted the injunction was reviewed, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion.

In Re Kelleher [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

It was unlawful for two labor unions that were involved in a controversy as to which one should represent the employees to picket outside of the employer, so the picketers were lawfully arrested and their writs of habeas corpus were denied.

Labor Law-Labor-Management Relations Act-Relationship Of Remedies Under Title I And Title Iii, Wendell B. Will S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner, a local of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, established a picket line at respondent's lumber mill and notified other locals to refuse to unload respondent's products. Petitioner sought to force respondent to assign certain jobs to its men. Respondent's policy had been to use its own employees for the disputed work. As a result of petitioner's action respondent was forced to suspend its operations. Respondent filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB alleging union violation of section 8(b)(4)(D) of the LMRA. After some time the NLRB determined that petitioner's men were not entitled to the disputed …


Constitutional Limitations On The Regulation Of Union And Employer Conduct, Charles O. Gregory Dec 1950

Constitutional Limitations On The Regulation Of Union And Employer Conduct, Charles O. Gregory

Michigan Law Review

This is a discussion of constitutional issues involved in federal and state regulations pertaining to labor. The importance of substantive due process has dwindled away, except in relation to picketing and Jim Crow unionism. The dominant issue has become the exercise of power, in a jurisdictional sense, to eliminate socially injurious practices. During the past half century the Supreme Court has taken almost all possible positions on these matters. Pursuing the ideal of a living document, the Court has retailored the Constitution to suit the political exigencies and the dominant interest pressures of any given time.


Labor Law-Compulsory Arbitration Of Labor Disputes, James A. Sprunk S.Ed. Dec 1948

Labor Law-Compulsory Arbitration Of Labor Disputes, James A. Sprunk S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In 1947, seven states adopted legislation for compulsory arbitration of labor disputes in public utilities. Four more provide for seizure of such industries in cases of strikes or lockouts, and one prohibits picketing or interference with the service of a public utility. In addition, procedures for conciliation, mediation, or voluntary arbitration with suspension of the right to strike or lockout during such procedures, are provided by still others. Such legislative activity reflects the growing public concern regarding labor disputes and indicates that many state legislators are convinced that to secure industrial peace more is required than the mere imposition of …

Labor Law-Constitutionality Of Statutes Prohibiting "Hot Goods" And "Secondary" Boycotts, Jerry S. Mccroskey

Michigan Law Review

In a contempt action against the business agent of an A.F.L. furniture and van workers local for violation of an injunction based on statutes prohibiting "hot goods" and "secondary" boycotts, held, petitioner discharged; the statutes are violative of the Fourteenth Amendment of the federal Constitution in prohibiting peaceful picketing or other publication of the facts concerning a labor dispute in pursuance of an "agreement or combination to cause" any employee to stop handling certain goods or to put pressure on his employer to do so. ln re Blaney, (Cal.1947) 184P. (2d) 892.


Labor Law-Torts-Liability Of Labor Union For Inducing Breach Of Contract, Ira M. Price, Ii S.Ed. Jan 1948

Labor Law-Torts-Liability Of Labor Union For Inducing Breach Of Contract, Ira M. Price, Ii S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

During the past fifteen years the law as a whole has moved rapidly in the direction of favoring union activity. A labor policy expressed in numerous federal and state laws and important judicial decisions has generally recognized and protected in the courts the workers' right to be free from employer interference, to strike, to engage in peaceful picketing, and to conduct primary boycotts. Within this liberalizing judicial concept of the rights of labor, the present status of the action against labor unions for inducing breach of contract presents an interesting study of the tenacity of an early common law theory …


Labor Law-Some Developments During The Past Five Years-(A Service For Returning Veterans), Russell A. Smith Jun 1946

Labor Law-Some Developments During The Past Five Years-(A Service For Returning Veterans), Russell A. Smith

Michigan Law Review

It will be helpful in appraising labor relations problems of today to recall that unionism in this country has trodden a rough and thorny path over the past century. Unions were not welcomed by employers, worker inertia itself was a considerable obstacle, and by and large the general public was dubious as to the value of unionism. Facing these difficulties unions from the- beginning felt compelled to resort to self-help--the strike, the picket line, the boycott, etc.--to achieve their aims. In so doing they encountered vigorous and successful opposition in the courts, as injured economic interests, and even the government, …

Constltutional Law - Labor Unions - Injunction Feb 1944

Constltutional Law - Labor Unions - Injunction

Michigan Law Review

Complainants owned and operated a small cafeteria conducting the business without the aid of any employees. Defendants, a labor union and its president, picketed the cafeteria in an attempt "to organize it." The picketing was carried on by parade of one person at a time in front of the premises, at all times in an "orderly and peaceful" manner. Signs were carried which tended to give the impression that the complainants were "unfair" to organized labor and that the pickets "had been previously employed in the cafeteria." These representations were knowingly false in that there had been no employees in …

Alabama, American Federation of Labor v. Swing, and the Meadowmoor case. Thereafter the state decisions will be examined to determine the effect of these recent Supreme Court cases on the objectives test.
