Subminimum Or Subpar? A Note In Favor Of Repealing The Fair Labor Standards Act's Subminimum Wage Program, Melia Preedy
Subminimum Or Subpar? A Note In Favor Of Repealing The Fair Labor Standards Act's Subminimum Wage Program, Melia Preedy
Seattle University Law Review
This Note argues for the repeal of Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which continues to perpetuate a system allowing employers to pay less than minimum, or “subminimum,” wage to certain employees with disabilities. The Section 14(c) program is a relic of policy leftover from the 1930s and does not help the disabled community, but rather rests on the presumption that persons with disabilities never progress. In light of recent House Resolution 3086, Congress went against the current trend of encouraging maximum independence and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities and instead upheld the subminimum wage program; …

Workmen's Compensation - Proceedings To Secure Compensation - Allowance Of Attorney's Fees To Claimants Unsuccessful On Appeal, Clayton R. Smalley
Workmen's Compensation - Proceedings To Secure Compensation - Allowance Of Attorney's Fees To Claimants Unsuccessful On Appeal, Clayton R. Smalley
Michigan Law Review
Employee claimed total permanent disability as a result of an industrial accident, but was awarded compensation for only a twenty percent permanent disability. Claimant was denied certiorari by the Florida District Court of Appeals. However, claimant's request for an allowance of reasonable attorney's fees for the unsuccessful appeal was granted. Claimant's employer was then granted certiorari on its contention that the Florida workmen's compensation statute and a past Florida Supreme Court decision had established that attorney's fees would be allowed only when the claimant's appeal was successful. On certiorari, held, award of attorney's fees affirmed. The statute allows an …
Intervertebral Disc Injuries In Workmen's Compensation, Larry A. Bear
Intervertebral Disc Injuries In Workmen's Compensation, Larry A. Bear
Vanderbilt Law Review
No lawyer regularly involved in workmen's compensation litigation can do a worthwhile job for his client unless he has a comprehensive and intelligent acquaintance with all branches of medicine. In the ordinary course of his practice, the workmen's compensation lawyer must deal with all types of industrial diseases, and even with disorders in the field of neurology and psychiatry.' Familiarity with a variety of medical conditions is made necessary because of such basic medico-legal problems as causation, involving the industrial or non-industrial origin of the disability at issue, dilration and the like. Of all the industrial injuries with which the …

Michigan Law Review
Claimant suffered accidental injury to his left hand, for which he received compensation. Later he sustained additional injuries to head, ears, left and right hands, and thereby became totally disabled. The State Industrial Commission found that claimant was 75 per cent disabled by reason of the later injury alone. Held, under Oklahoma Workmen's Compensation Law, employer is liable for the degree of disability which would have resulted had there been no previous injury. The Special Indemnity Fund is liable for payment of the balance of the total disability. Special Indemnity Fund v. Wood, 195 Okla. 357, 157 P. …

Malpractice Actions And Compensation Acts, Paul A. Leidy
Michigan Law Review
S, an employee, is injured as the result of the negligence of his employer, M; S is taken for treatment to the office of X, a competent physician or surgeon selected by S or by M; on this particular occasion X is negligent and as a result of X's negligence S's two weeks' injury is aggravated and the period of disability becomes one of two months' duration. At common law, inasmuch as the original injury was one for which M was legally responsible, S could recover from M for the entire disability-that resulting directly from the original negligence of M …
