Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Beal), Innis Christie
Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Beal), Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
Union grievance dated November 13, 1996 alleging breach of the Collective Agreement between the parties bearing the date January 31, 1995, and in particular of Article 10.01 in that the Employer discharged the Grievor without just, reasonable and sufficient cause. On behalf of the Grievor the Union requests that he be reinstated and compensated for all lost rights, earnings and benefits, with interest. At the hearing the Union submitted that a suspension of six months, the period for which the Grievor had then been off work, be substituted.
Modern Discrimination Theory And The National Labor Relations Act, Rebecca H. White
Modern Discrimination Theory And The National Labor Relations Act, Rebecca H. White
Scholarly Works
This Article explores the concept of discrimination under the NLRA [National Labor Relations Act]. Specifically, it examines discrimination under the statute through the lens of Title VII, an approach that brings a fresh perspective to doctrine long considered settled. The purpose of this comparison is to explore the extent to which Title VII's discrimination concepts make sense under the NLRA. This analysis focuses on three specific areas. First, it examines discrimination cases under section 8(a)(1), concluding that the lower courts are wrong to apply Title VII concepts and to insist that without disparate treatment of union activities, no unlawful discrimination …
Where Are We Now?: Life After Electromation, Rafael Gely
Where Are We Now?: Life After Electromation, Rafael Gely
Faculty Publications
Given the expectations that preceded the Board's decisions, and the reactions that followed, it is somewhat surprising how little attention has been given to the decisions the NLRB has issued since Electromation and E.I. du Pont. While in general these recent decisions are consistent with the holdings in Electromation and E.I. du Pont, they provide us with the opportunity to analyze the manner in which the Board is currently dealing with the legality of workplace cooperative efforts. This article explores that issue. Part II of the article provides a brief overview of the workplace cooperative efforts problem. Part III reviews …
Labor And The Supreme Court: Review Of The 1996-1997 Term, Keith N. Hylton
Labor And The Supreme Court: Review Of The 1996-1997 Term, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
The U.S. Supreme Court's 1996-1997 Term will surely not be remembered among lawyers for its decisions in the employment area. Most of these decisions involved narrow questions of statutory interpretation, and for the most part the Court has handed down opinions consistent with existing case law. There was not one National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) decision this Term and the two employment discrimination cases involved fairly technical issues of statutory interpretation. The feeling of a quiet year is put across by simply reading the statutes at issue other than Title VII: the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) (one case), the …

The Unions requested that the Employer be ordered to pay overtime in full, with interest.
Multiemployer Bargaining, Antitrust Law, And Team Sports: The Contingent Choice Of A Broad Exemption, Michael C. Harper
Multiemployer Bargaining, Antitrust Law, And Team Sports: The Contingent Choice Of A Broad Exemption, Michael C. Harper
Faculty Scholarship
Twenty-four years after pronouncing that "Congress[ ,]... not... this Court[, must remedy] any inconsistency or illogic" in the long standing exemption of baseball, but not other sports from the reach of the antitrust laws,' the Supreme Court last term reduced substantially the uniqueness of Major League Baseball's control over its labor market. The Court did so not by exposing baseball to antitrust attack, but rather by clarifying that restrictions on player labor mobility and freedom of contract imposed by all North American leagues of professional sports teams2 also enjoy an exemption from antitrust scrutiny as long as their labor …

Adea Doctrinal Impediments To The Fulfillment Of The Wirtz Report Agenda, Michael C. Harper
Faculty Scholarship
Ideally, this symposium marking the three-decade anniversary of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) would present an opportunity to assess how well the ADEA has achieved its plausible goals. However, I recognize that any definitive assessment of the success of a statute like the ADEA, which requires the modification of the behavior of social actors, must depend on the kind of sophisticated empirical study for which I have neither the time, resources or capability. I also recognize that defending my identification of the goals of the ADEA might itself require an entire essay.
Therefore, I will present a more …

Employee grievance alleging breach of the Professional Agreement between the Board and the Union made on June 29, 1990, which the parties agreed is the relevant collective agreement here, in that, without proper cause, the Board demoted the Grievor from the position of Vice-Principal of Trenton High School to the position of teacher. The parties agreed that the grievance was properly filed and is before me in accordance with Article 2 of the Professional Agree-ment. The Union requests an order that the Grievor be reinstated as Vice-Principal and be paid the difference between what he has been paid as a …

Re Coca-Cola Bottling Ltd And Retail, Wholesale And Department Store Union, Local 1065, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
Union policy grievances alleging breach of the Collective Agreement between the Union and T.C.C. Bottling Ltd., amended and kept in force between these parties by the Memorandum of Agreement dated October 19, 1993, which the parties agreed is the Collective Agreement that governs this matter, and in particular of Articles 2, 8, 13 and 22, in that the Employer employed people who were not union members to do bargaining work in the service department. The Union requested that the Employer be ordered to pay damages to employees on lay-off who should have done the work in question.
Protections For Erisa Self-Insured Employee Welfare Benefit Plan Participants: New Possibilities For State Action In The Event Of Plan Failure, Mark A. Edwards
Protections For Erisa Self-Insured Employee Welfare Benefit Plan Participants: New Possibilities For State Action In The Event Of Plan Failure, Mark A. Edwards
Faculty Scholarship
Employees who receive health benefits through ERISA self-insured plans need protection when self-insured plans fail. Because of the breadth of ERISA preemption, states have been unable to assess ERISA self-insured plans for contribution to state insurance guaranty funds, and thus have been unable to include those employees in the protection of those funds. Further, attempts at federal reform to protect these employees have failed to garner support. However, under the recent Travelers, United Wire, and Safeco decisions, it may be possible for states to assess ERISA self-insured funds and their participants through a combination of hospital use surcharges and taxes …

"Let's Call It A Draw": Striker Replacements And The Mackay Doctrine, Rafael Gely, Leonard Bierman
Faculty Publications
In a recent article we discuss the issue of the use of permanent replacements for striking employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) Our discussion focuses on the efficiency aspects of the seminal 1938 case of NLRB v. Mackay Radio and Telegraph Co. In the article, we propose a “negotiations” approach, which we argue is likely to result in a more economically efficient interpretation of the Mackay doctrine. As has been the case with other proposals made with respect to this very contentious issue, our proposal has confronted some criticism. Professor William R. Corbett, in a recent piece in …

Whose Team Are You On? My Team Or My Team?: The Nlra's Section 8(A)(2) And The Team Act, Rafael Gely
Faculty Publications
This article analyzes employee participatory programs from the internal labor markets perspective. Internal Labor Markets (“ILM”) refer to the explicit or implicit agreements between employer and employees incorporating rules governing wages, working hours, promotion opportunities and grievance procedures. In order to function properly, ILMs require employees to learn skills that are valuable to the contracting firm, but are of much lesser value elsewhere. Employees agree to acquire such “firm-specific” skills and employers agree to subsidize the training needed to obtain these new skills. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement: employers expect to observe increases in productivity and efficiency and employees …

United States. V. Virginia New Gender Equal Protection Analysis With Ramifications For Pregnancy, Parenting And Title Vii, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
United States. V. Virginia New Gender Equal Protection Analysis With Ramifications For Pregnancy, Parenting And Title Vii, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
ABSTRACT: In this Article, Professor Kovacic-Fleischer argues that the Supreme Court's recent decision in United States v. Virginia raises gender equal protection analysis to the level of strict scrutiny. Professor Kovacic-Fleischer asserts that the Court's refusal to accept as immutable VMI's single-sex institutional design, and the Court's requirement that VMT make adjustments and alterations that will enable qualified women to undertake VM's curriculum evidences this shift in gender equal protection analysis. Professor Kovacic-Fleischer then turns to the significance of the Court's citation to California Federal Savings & Loan Association v. Guerra. She asserts that this citation indicates that the Court …

A woman washes a kitchen floor. She puts the mop away and drives to the comer market. She consults a shopping list, and purchases groceries from it, carefully choosing the least expensive options. A four-year-old child is tugging at her leg while she does this, and she tries to entertain him, talking to him about the mopped floor, the grocery items. When she returns from the store, she prepares lunch from what she has brought home with her. She and the child both eat lunch. After lunch, she and the child collect laundry and she runs a load. She takes …
Employees, Pensions, And The New Economic Order, Jeffrey N. Gordon
Employees, Pensions, And The New Economic Order, Jeffrey N. Gordon
Faculty Scholarship
The "New Economic Order" in the United States is a regime of trade liberalization, a robust market in corporate control, and labor market flexibility. Among the consequences over the 1980-1995 period is a divergence between the growth rate of corporate profits and stocks prices, which have increased by approximately 250% in real terms, and wages, which have barely increased at all, except for the top quintile. Contrary to popular belief employees have not significantly participated through their pension funds in this stock market appreciation. In the historically dominant defined benefit pension plan, the sponsoringfirm, not the employee, is the residual …
Responsibilities Of Employers Toward Mentally Disabled Persons Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, Karin M. Mika, Denise Wimbiscus
Responsibilities Of Employers Toward Mentally Disabled Persons Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, Karin M. Mika, Denise Wimbiscus
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This article discusses the standards of the American with Disabilities Act with respect to accommodating mental illness in the workplace. It argues that the ADA definitions are not precise enough in apprising employers of what their obligations are regarding mentally ill persons in the workplace. It additionally suggests revising the statue and regulations to achieve this goal.
Of Labor Law And Dissonance Colloquy, James J. Brudney
Of Labor Law And Dissonance Colloquy, James J. Brudney
Faculty Scholarship
What accounts for the dissonance between the meaning of our national labor law, as decreed primarily by federal judges, and the social and economic realities of workplace relationships addressed by that law? In his darkly eloquent commentary, Professor Getman acknowledges that such dissonance is not unique to the law governing labor-management relations. Yet the courts' often mistrustful approach toward employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act ( NLRA" or "Act") has had a special impact. The NLRA emerged at a time of social turbulence, and was based on a recognized need to redress the fundamental inequality of bargaining power …
The Emerging Cronyism Defense And Affirmative Action: A Critical Perspective On The Distinction Between Colorblind And Race-Conscious Decision Making Under Title Vii, Ann C. Mcginley
Scholarly Works
In Foster v. Dalton, the United States Supreme Court approved of the promotion of a less-qualified white male over a better-qualified black female under very suspicious circumstances; in Taxman v. Board of Education, the court invalidated the retention of an equally qualified black female over her white counterpart. The law justifies the disparate results in Foster and Taxman by invoking the principle of race and gender “neutrality” in the decision making process. Under this principle, the law generally prohibits employment determinations based consciously on a person's race or gender. An exception to the “neutrality principle” of Title VII is the …
