Legal Issues In Affirmative Action - Problems Affecting Women, Assembly Select Committee On Fair Employment Practices, Assembly Committee On Judiciary

California Assembly

Today, the Assembly Select Committee on Fair Employment Practices, and the Assembly Judiciary Committee are holding a joint interim hearing on legal issues on affirmative action problems affecting women. Our purpose today, is to examine some of the problems confronted by women in employment. We will examine the areas of recruitment, hiring, mobility, the grievance procedures, and the emerging issue of collective bargaining. The committees are also very interested in examining the issue of ethnic women, and the progress they have made in equalizing their representation in the labor force.

The Regulation Of Labor Unions, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

This year completes exactly a half century in the federalization and codification of American labor law. Before that the regulation of both the internal affairs and external relations of labor organizations was left largely to the individual states, usually through the application of common or nonstatutory law by the courts. One major exception was the railroad industry, whose patent importance to interstate commerce made it an acceptable subject for federal legislation like the Railway Labor Act.
