A Road To Resolution For Federal Whistleblowers' Mixed Case Claims, Devin Redding Mar 2023

A Road To Resolution For Federal Whistleblowers' Mixed Case Claims, Devin Redding

West Virginia Law Review

Since the birth of the United States, whistleblowers have held our nation’s government accountable for illegal, fraudulent, and harmful behavior. The triumphs and failures of whistleblowers are deeply entwined with our nation’s struggle for independence, civil rights, and economic freedom. Nevertheless, employees who bravely expose misdeeds at all levels of our federal government are often bullied and discriminated against on the basis of sex, gender, age, disability, and more.

Employees looking toward our administrative law systems and …

One need only compare the unemployment rate of blacks to whites to conclude that complexion bears a remarkable relationship to employment experiences. A reminder that the earning power of American women is vastly different than that of men is evidence enough that gender is a factor in employment decisions. Most employers have abandoned their more overtly discriminatory practices such as outright refusals to employ members of racial minorities or women, termination of a woman on …

Employment Discrimination And Labor Arbitrators: A Question Of Competence, Anthony F. Bartlett Pace University School Of Law Jun 1983

Employment Discrimination And Labor Arbitrators: A Question Of Competence, Anthony F. Bartlett Pace University School Of Law

West Virginia Law Review

During the Second World War labor arbitration came to prominence in the United States as an important means of resolving disputes between labor and management. In the post-War years it gradually achieved a pre-eminent position in the American collective bargaining system, finally acquiring the imprimatur of the Supreme Court in 1960. Crucial to the Court's rationale for requiring virtual judicial abstension in regard to labor arbitration was its perception of the arbitration process as an informal and flexible system manned by arbitrators who were in possession of a high level of competence in the realities of labor relations. This view …
