Rethinking The Legal Oversight Of Benefit Program Exclusions, Mark Berger
Rethinking The Legal Oversight Of Benefit Program Exclusions, Mark Berger
Faculty Works
Increasingly, American workers rely upon employers to provide employee benefit programs that include critical health insurance and retirement savings plans. However, employers are finding that providing benefits is a costly undertaking. As a result an increasing number of employers are making use of alternative workforce systems. These involve supplementing a core of full-time workers with contingent employees for whom no commitments are made other than payment for services rendered. Such contingent workers have no expectation of indefinite or continuous employment, and are generally excluded from whatever benefit programs the company may provide.
The increasing use of two-tier employment systems of …
The Unfulfilled Promise Of Promissory Estoppel In The Employment Setting, Robert A. Hillman
The Unfulfilled Promise Of Promissory Estoppel In The Employment Setting, Robert A. Hillman
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Although the theory of promissory estoppel enforces promises that induce reasonable detrimental reliance, this article reveals the theory's colossal failure in the non-union employment setting. This conclusion is based on an examination of all of the reported decisions in the United States that discussed promissory estoppel over a two-year period in the mid 1990's. During this period, employees won only 4.23 percent of employment promissory estoppel cases decided on the merits. At first blush, this is very surprising because employers, through their communications, seek to create the expectation of a stable, secure work environment and employees, because of their lack …

The Indentured Servants Of Academia: The Adjunct Faculty Dilemma And Their Limited Legal Remedies, John C. Duncan, Jr.
The Indentured Servants Of Academia: The Adjunct Faculty Dilemma And Their Limited Legal Remedies, John C. Duncan, Jr.
Journal Publications
In this half of the twentieth century, the academic equivalent of the indentured servant is the adjunct faculty member in higher education. Adjuncts cannot say or do much about their plight. The dilemma of adjunct faculty leads to what should be considered a violation of due process rights. This Article first examines who are the adjunct faculty, what are their dilemmas, and how are they viewed in the academic world. The heart of the paper then explores the limited legal remedies available. The essential problems of lack of due process and minimal protection through collective bargaining and contractual agreements are …
Mandatory Arbitration: Alternative Dispute Resolution Or Coercive Dispute Suppression?, Sharona Hoffman
Mandatory Arbitration: Alternative Dispute Resolution Or Coercive Dispute Suppression?, Sharona Hoffman
Faculty Publications
The enforceability of mandatory arbitration policies contained in employment contracts between employees and their direct employers remains an open question, even after the Supreme Court's 1991 decision in Gilmer v. Interstate Johnson Lane Corp. While Gilmer gave effect to a mandatory arbitration clause in a contract between a securities broker and his licensing exchange, the Court noted that the contract at issue was not an ordinary employment contract between employer and employee. The Court declined to decide whether arbitration agreements in ordinary employment contracts are per se enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act or whether these provisions are exempt from …

Union Lawyer's Obligations To Bargaining Unit Members: A Case Study Of The Interdependence Of Legal Ethics And Substantive Law, The Symposium: The Lawyer's Duties And Liabilities To Third Parties, Russell G. Pearce
Faculty Scholarship
One of the largest groups of purported nonclients to whom lawyers might have obligations are members of bargaining units represented by unions. Despite the much publicized decline of labor unions, they have almost 16.4 million members. In addition, many workers are members of bargaining units represented by labor unions, but are not union members. The relationship of union lawyers to these millions of bargaining unit members, whether members of the union or not, is unclear. An examination of how this relationship influences and is influenced by labor law offers a fascinating case study of the synergy between the substantive law …
Guilty Knowledge, Daniel S. Kleinberger
Guilty Knowledge, Daniel S. Kleinberger
Faculty Scholarship
Agency law's attribution rules impose most of the risk of agent misconduct on the party who selects the agent and benefits from the agent's endeavors, i.e., the principal. The rules thus help establish and maintain a proper balance of risk between principals and third parties. Unfortunately, a recent unpublished decision of the Minnesota Court of Appeals, Engen v. Mitch's Bar & Grill, threatens to upset that balance and release principals from responsibility for an important type of information possessed by their agents. Engen is dangerous, despite its unpublished status. This Case Note seeks to eliminate any influence the case might …
Job Security: Protecting At-Will Employees With Good Cause Legislation, Mayumi Yokoyama
Job Security: Protecting At-Will Employees With Good Cause Legislation, Mayumi Yokoyama
LLM Theses and Essays
Recent decades have witnessed significant developments in employment termination law in the United States. In particular, the long-standing “at-will” doctrine, under which employers can fire employees for good, bad, or no reason at all, has experienced great erosion and wide variations in law from state to state. There has been a movement of statutory and common law restrictions limiting an employer’s freedom to terminate at will, which reflects the increasing consciousness of job security by society and workers. This paper analyzes the problem of job security by tracing the origin of the at-will doctrine to 19th century principles favoring economic …

Doctrinal Synergies And Liberal Dilemmas: The Case Of The Yellow-Dog Contract, Barry Cushman
Doctrinal Synergies And Liberal Dilemmas: The Case Of The Yellow-Dog Contract, Barry Cushman
Journal Articles
The three decades spanning the years 1908 to 1937 saw a remarkable transformation of the Supreme Court's jurisprudence concerning the rights of workers to organize. In 1908, the Court held that a federal law prohibiting employers from discharging an employee because of his membership in a labor union violated the liberty of contract secured to the employer by the Fifth Amendment. In 1915, the Court similarly declared a state statute prohibiting the use of "yellow-dog" contracts unconstitutional. In 1937, by contrast, the Court upheld provisions of the Wagner Act prohibiting both discharges for union membership and the use of yellow-dog …
Notes: Termination Of Employment Contracts And Taking Advantage Of One's Wrong, Andrew B.L. Phang
Notes: Termination Of Employment Contracts And Taking Advantage Of One's Wrong, Andrew B.L. Phang
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The recent decision by Mr John Mowbray QC in Micklefield v SAC Technology Ltd brings into focus the thorny problems inherent within, first, the continuing uncertainty surrounding termination of employment contracts and, secondly, the much more general issue as to the status as well as application of the proposition that a contracting party ought not to be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong. There was a third issue taken in the case with regard to the applicability of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 which will be briefly commented upon.
Drafting The Dispute Resolution Clause, Whitmore Gray
Drafting The Dispute Resolution Clause, Whitmore Gray
Book Chapters
Providing in a contract for ways to resolve disputes that may arise presents a substantial challenge to the lawyer. In one sense, this is what a lawyer regularly does in contract drafting-anticipating misunderstandings or problems that experience has indicated are likely to arise, and trying to provide clear solutions in advance. When it comes to drafting a specific clause for the resolution of further disputes that may arise, however, many lawyers are at a substantial disadvantage. The task comes at the end of the substantive negotiations. The client does not want to focus on, or draw the other party's attention …
Working Backwards: The Covenant Of Good Faith And Fair Dealing In Employment Law, Deborah A. Schmedemann
Working Backwards: The Covenant Of Good Faith And Fair Dealing In Employment Law, Deborah A. Schmedemann
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the covenant of good faith and fair dealing with respect to employment law. This doctrine is at an interesting stage in its development (or decline) in Minnesota and elsewhere. The article begins with the standard exposition of the current state of the law; part I describes the limited scope of the covenant and its limited force in Minnesota employment law. Part II contains my assessment of the courts' handling of the covenant and the promise this theory holds for Minnesota employees and employers. My theses are: First, the courts have thus far failed to develop a sound …

Hiring Ruled Contractual, Bill Gore, Douglas A. Kahn, Stan Shields
Articles
On December 29, 1988, the California Supreme Court decided Foley vs. Interactive Data Corp., perhaps the most eagerly awaited state supreme court decision in years. The Foley ruling, which immediately was hailed as a tremendous victory for California employers, eliminated punitive damage awards for many wrongfully terminated employees. That was good news for the employers. The decision, however, also provided employers with sobering news. Most significantly, the court ruled that employment relationships essentially are contracts, with terms created by the reasonable expectation of the parties. Thus, the majority of California employees now have a right to sue for breach …

Post-Contractual Arbitrability After Nolde Brothers: A Problem Of Conceptual Clarity, Arthur S. Leonard
Post-Contractual Arbitrability After Nolde Brothers: A Problem Of Conceptual Clarity, Arthur S. Leonard
Articles & Chapters
In Nolde Brothers, Inc. v. Local No. 358, Bakery & Confectionery Workers Union,' the Supreme Court held that a labor-management grievance dispute which arose after the expiration of a collective bargaining agreement might, under certain circumstances, be compulsorily arbitrable even though no successor agreement providing for arbitration had been entered into by the parties.2 In so holding, however, the Supreme Court was imprecise in articulating the factors underlying its determination,3 leaving to the lower courts and the National Labor Relations Board (Board) the considerable task of adopting the broadly phrased Nolde rationale-a presumption of continuing arbitrability- to differing situations where …
