Fertile Women May Now Apply: Fetal Protection Policies After Johnson Controls, Barbara Ruhe Grumet
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
In its recent interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the U.S. Supreme Court leaves little room for permissible occupational sex discrimination. However, its decision has wider implications. Here, Professor Grumet takes a look at some of them from both a legal and a social perspective, including matters such as employees' reproductive freedom and employers' potential liability for a variety of possible injuries to employees' offspring.
Feminizing Unions: Challenging The Gendered Structure Of Wage Labor, Marion Crain
Feminizing Unions: Challenging The Gendered Structure Of Wage Labor, Marion Crain
Michigan Law Review
In this article, I argue that labor unions can be an effective, central tool in a feminist agenda targeting the gendered structure of wage labor.

Section III explores the courts' modification of the traditional federal approach found in direct evidence and mixed motive cases.

The Government And Union Democracy, Theodore J. St. Antoine
The Government And Union Democracy, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
The desirability of union democracy is generally regarded today as a self-evident proposition. In this Symposium Clyde Summers treats it as a "fundamental premise." But there have always been reputable scholars who would support the thesis, in greater or lesser degree, that "democracy is as inappropriate within the international headquarters of the UAW as it is in the front office of General Motors."
