Collective Bargaining Or "Collective Begging"?: Reflections On Antistrikebreaker Legislation, Samuel Estreicher
Collective Bargaining Or "Collective Begging"?: Reflections On Antistrikebreaker Legislation, Samuel Estreicher
Michigan Law Review
The strike is a necessary part of collective bargaining. Workers should not ordinarily lose their jobs by pressing their disputes in this manner. But neither should strikes be viewed as a risk-free means of empowering unions to lock employers into uncompetitive contracts.
Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw, Innis Christie
Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
The Union alleges that the Employer designated certain wicket positions as "bilingual imperative" without regard to the staffing requirements of the Collective Agreement. The Employer claims that this action was required according to official recommendations by the Commissioner of Official Languages, acting under the Official Languages Act. Employees being promoted to, or transferred into, designated wicket positions must be bilingual. The Union argues that the Employer is bound to assign positions on the basis of seniority under the Collective Agreement. Their position is that the Commissioner's recommendations do not have the force of law and the Employer is able to …
Rethinking Financial Information Disclosure Under The National Labor Relations Act, Brent Robbins
Rethinking Financial Information Disclosure Under The National Labor Relations Act, Brent Robbins
Vanderbilt Law Review
The National Labor Relations Act's ("NLRA") central purpose is to reduce industrial strife and stimulate economic growth by promoting collective bargaining between employers and unions.' The 1947 amendments to the Act make clear that collective bargaining must be conducted in good faith. Under the Act, as interpreted by the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") and the courts, labor and management must bargain collectively in good faith over the "mandatory" subjects of "wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment." From its earliest days, the NLRB has interpreted the duty to bargain collectively as requiring companies to bargain collectively with …
Employment Discrimination Testing: Theories Of Standing And A Reply To Professor Yelnosky, Leroy D. Clark
Employment Discrimination Testing: Theories Of Standing And A Reply To Professor Yelnosky, Leroy D. Clark
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
In this Article, Professor Clark addresses the legal issues surrounding the use of testers-individuals who deliberately apply for employment to detect sex and race discrimination. He surveys three theoretical justifications for granting standing to organizations that run testing programs. Professor Clark then responds to a previous article by Professor Yelnosky, disputing some of his conclusions. Professor Clark indicates that testing is just as necessary in higher-level employment as lower-level employment; shows that testers can obtain meaningful relief from the courts; analyzes the impact of the 1991 Civil Rights Act amendments; and encourages Congress to authorize the EEOC to run tester …
Salvaging The Opportunity: A Response To Professor Clark, Michael J. Yelnosky
Salvaging The Opportunity: A Response To Professor Clark, Michael J. Yelnosky
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
In this Article, Professor Yelnosky responds to Professor Clark's critique of his previous article, Filling an Enforcement Void: Using Testers to Uncover and Remedy Discrimination in Hiring for Lower-Skilled, Entry-Level Jobs. Professor Yelnosky first clarifies that Professor Clark has adopted several of the points Professor Yelnosky originally made in his earlier article. He then responds to the portions of Professor Clark's article that challenge his prior conclusions. He builds on and defends his previous arguments that: (1) testing is best suited to uncover hiring discrimination for lower-skilled jobs; (2) disincentives to bringing tester lawsuits make it unwise to rely …

Employment Discrimination Claims Under Erisa Section 510: Should Courts Require Exhaustion Of Arbitral And Plan Remedies?, Jared A. Goldstein
Employment Discrimination Claims Under Erisa Section 510: Should Courts Require Exhaustion Of Arbitral And Plan Remedies?, Jared A. Goldstein
Michigan Law Review
This Note examines whether courts should require section 510 claimants to exhaust either plan-based or arbitral remedies before seeking judicial relief. It begins by comparing the basis for an exhaustion requirement with respect to benefits claims with the basis for such a requirement with respect to statutory claims - like those under section 510. Part I examines the rationale courts have offered for requiring exhaustion of plan remedies for benefits claims. Part I concludes that federal courts have correctly determined that Congress intended individuals bringing benefits claims to exhaust the remedies provided by the plan before seeking judicial relief. Part …

Employment Discrimination Law In Perspective: Three Concepts Of Equality, John J. Donohue Iii
Employment Discrimination Law In Perspective: Three Concepts Of Equality, John J. Donohue Iii
Michigan Law Review
The essay begins with a discussion of which groups deserve the protection of employment discrimination law. With the protected categories of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act etched into the American consciousness, many might consider the appropriate categories to be fully self-evident. But of course, they are not, and many jurisdictions continue to struggle over whether certain dispreferred groups merit the law's solicitude.
Structuralist And Cultural Domination Theories Meet Title Vii: Some Contemporary Influences, Martha Chamallas
Structuralist And Cultural Domination Theories Meet Title Vii: Some Contemporary Influences, Martha Chamallas
Michigan Law Review
This essay first looks at three important theoretical approaches - motivational, structural, and cultural - that mark the scholarly discourses on workplace equality since 1965. The motivational or individual choice theory is well established and has dominated legal discourse throughout this period. I concentrate in this essay on the other two visions, dating structuralist accounts from the mid1970s and cultural domination theories from the mid-1980s.
Title Vii And The Complex Female Subject, Kathryn Abrams
Title Vii And The Complex Female Subject, Kathryn Abrams
Michigan Law Review
One strength of Title VII has been its capacity to accommodate the changing conceptions of discrimination and the self-conceptions of subject groups. In the first decades of its enforcement, advocates have raised - and courts have endorsed - a range of contrasting conceptions in order to broaden the employment opportunities of protected groups. This flexibility is particularly evident with respect to women.
After exploring recent doctrinal efforts to respond to complex claimants, I address these questions and assess the prospects of change. Although the unitary or categorical notions of group identity under which Title VII has historically been enforced might …
Only Girls Wear Barrettes: Dress And Appearance Standards, Community Norms, And Workplace Equality, Katharine T. Bartlett
Only Girls Wear Barrettes: Dress And Appearance Standards, Community Norms, And Workplace Equality, Katharine T. Bartlett
Michigan Law Review
In this essay I study both the judicial rationales and the scholarly criticisms thereof, agreeing with critics that community norms are too discriminatory to provide a satisfactory benchmark for defining workplace equality, but also questioning the usual implications of this critique. Critics assume that it is possible, and desirable, to evaluate dress and appearance rules without regard to the norms and expectations of the community - that is, according to stable or universal versions of equality that are uninfected by community norms. I question this assumption, arguing that equality, no less than other legal concepts, cannot transcend the norms of …

Mis Guidelines For Employment Law Programs In Poland, Christopher J. O'Leary, Andrew S. Targowski, W.E. Upjohn Institute For Employment Research
Reports
The guidelines presented in this report propose an efficient architecture for structuring the huge volume of information flow necessary to manage and administer the several labor market programs operated by the SOLO (System of Labor Offices). The proposal includes a recommendation for the sequence of events in developing the many parts of the system which exploits the latest technical and methodological possibilities, but recognizes the practical constraints of time and money. At the heart of the proposed automated management information system (MIS) to support planning, evaluation, and budgeting for labor market programs in Poland is a set of performance indicators. …

This is the determination of an Arbitration Committee established to hear and determine whether or not the grounds for the President's recommendation for the dismissal of Lucinda Vandervort, a tenured Associate Professor, are established and, if established, whether or not they constitute good and sufficient cause for dismissal. The Committee has already issued an interim decision that, even if established, the grounds for the President's recommendation for dismissal do not constitute good and sufficient cause for dismissal and Professor Vandervort has been fully reinstated pending this determination. We advised the parties of our conclusion to that effect after the University …
The Making Of The Model Employment Termination Act, Theodore J. St. Antoine
The Making Of The Model Employment Termination Act, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Washington Law Review
Courts in about 45 states have ameliorated the harshness of employment at will, but the common-law modifications still exhibit serious deficiencies. Legislation is needed. The Model Employment Termination Act proposes a balanced compromise. It would protect most employees against discharge without good cause and it would relieve employers of the risk of devastating financial losses When liability is imposed. Arbitration procedures under the Model Act would also be simpler, faster, and cheaper than existing court proceedings.

The Worker Participation Conundrum: Does Prohibiting Employer-Assisted Labor Organizations Prevent Labor-Management Cooperation?, Robert B. Moberly
The Worker Participation Conundrum: Does Prohibiting Employer-Assisted Labor Organizations Prevent Labor-Management Cooperation?, Robert B. Moberly
Washington Law Review
Worker participation and labor-management cooperation have been important concepts in labor relations for more than a decade. Recently, some proponents of labor management cooperation have argued that the statutory prohibition against employer assistance to labor organizations contained in section 8(a)(2) of the National Labor Relations Act has hampered the development of worker participation programs and ought to be repealed or modified. Others are opposed both to repealing the prohibition and to labor-management cooperation in general. This Article argues that worker participation and labor-management cooperation are beneficial and ought to be encouraged; nonetheless, the prohibition against employer-assisted labor organizations is important …
