Grievance by the Union alleging breach of Article 20.1, and any other applicable articles, of the Collective Agreement between the Union (and Locals 1051, 1778 and 1779) and West Prince Regional Authority, East Prince Health, Queens Region Health and Community Services, Southern Kings Regional Authority and Eastern Kings Health, effective April 1, 2001 — March 31, 2004, which the parties agreed is the Collective Agreement that governs this matter, in that, when a full-time cook resigned the Employer failed to post that position and instead posted three part-time cook positions to which it assigned essentially the same work. Those part-time …
Employment Market Institutions And Japanese Working Hours, Mark West
Employment Market Institutions And Japanese Working Hours, Mark West
Law & Economics Working Papers Archive: 2003-2009
Why do Japanese workers work such long hours? Beginning with a series of cases in the 1950s, Japanese courts drastically curtailed firms’ abilities to dismiss workers. As a consequence of the inability to dismiss workers legally, large Japanese firms hired a smaller number of workers than were necessary to fulfill capacity without overtime. Employers rely on the working hours of this undersized cadre of workers, carefully screened to rule out the slothful, as a buffer. In bad times, the size of the work force makes dismissal unnecessary. In good times, workers are forced to work long hours. While these court …

The Supreme Court's Labor And Employment Decisions: 2002-2003 Term, Maria O'Brien
Faculty Scholarship
This article summarizes U.S. Supreme Court cases from the October 2002 term that related directly or indirectly to labor or employment law or have implications for labor and employment practitioners. Of particular interest are the University of Michigan affirmative action cases' and the Texas criminal sodomy case. 2 Although not nominally "labor and employment" cases, these cases will profoundly affect labor and employment issues. Lawrence v. Texas has already altered the lenses through which society views homosexuality and altered public discourse related to homosexuality and same-sex relationships. 3 The reasoning of the Court shows how far issues of sexuality have …

Pay Secrecy/ Confidentiality Rules And The National Labor Relations Act, Rafael Gely, Leonard Bierman
Faculty Publications
This article seeks to provide a comprehensive account of doctrinal issues related to the use of pay secrecy/confidentiality rules (“PSC rules”) under the NLRA. In Part II, we describe what pay secrecy/confidentiality is and discuss recent survey evidence of their presence in workplaces across the United States. In Part III, we describe the current legal framework under which PSC rules are evaluated under the NLRA, while in Parts IV and V, we explore various doctrinal issues related to these rules in more detail. This leads us to Part VI, where we ponder the future of PSC rules under the NLRA …

Law And The Future Of Organized Labor In America, Keith N. Hylton
Law And The Future Of Organized Labor In America, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
This paper, prepared for "The Future of Organized Labor in America" symposium at Wayne State University Law School, examines two questions: 1) what are the implications of the decline of unions for the future of labor law, and 2) what are the implications of labor law for the decline of unions? After documenting the recent trends (decline in the private sector coupled with slight growth in the public sector), I argue that the change in the public-versus-private composition will lead unions to pursue legislative strategies that will further reduce the share of the private sector workforce in unions. A law …

Ibew, Local 2228 V Nav Canada, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
The Employer withheld the Grievor's pay and benefits owing under the salary continuation provision of the Agreement for a period of 12 days because of his refusal to sign a consent form required by the Employer's third party provider authorizing release of the Grievor's medical information to the provider. The Union does not dispute that the Employer had the right to require that the form be signed, nor the employer's having withheld the pay until the form was signed. The Union's position is that once the Grievor signed the form he was entitled to the pay being withheld. The Employer's …

The 'Race To The Bottom' Returns: China’S Challenge To The International Labor Movement, Stephen F. Diamond
Cornell Law Faculty Working Papers
China is now, and increasingly, an integral player in the global economy and in international relations. Economic and political restructuring in China today is affecting the lives of millions, yet only a small number of top bureaucrats and wealthy regime-backed entrepreneurs are making the basic decisions about the outcome of this process. This bureaucratic and entrepreneurial class resists fiercely any serious attempt to build independent and democratic institutions such as trade unions.
This article will consider four areas of concern. First, the structural changes underway in the Chinese economy are creating both domestic and international imbalances that are exacerbating inequalities …

Judging Unions' Future Using A Historical Perspective: The Public Policy Choice Between Competition And Unionization, Michael L. Wachter
Judging Unions' Future Using A Historical Perspective: The Public Policy Choice Between Competition And Unionization, Michael L. Wachter
All Faculty Scholarship
In this paper I look at unions' future using a historical perspective and focusing on the period of union ascendancy as well as the past few decades when unions have been in decline. We know trends currently in place are unfavorable to unions. What conditions would be favorable? The rise of unions from the 1930s through the early 1950s was due to the convergence of a number of events - an economic policy that attempted to restrict competition beginning in the 1930s, the twin beliefs that labor markets were inherently noncompetitive and/or that individual workplaces were exploitative, and low union …

Hot Jobs Or Not So Hot? Outlook For Maine's Women Workers, Bureau Of Labor Education. University Of Maine
Hot Jobs Or Not So Hot? Outlook For Maine's Women Workers, Bureau Of Labor Education. University Of Maine
Bureau of Labor Education
There are currently many upbeat analyses of the best and highest paying “hot new jobs” available to women workers in the first decade of the 21st century. Presumably, these career choices will offer such desirable things as good wages, decent benefits, creative and interesting work, and opportunities for advancement. However, while many individual women may benefit from such career advice, the sad fact is that the largest occupations available to women workers in Maine will continue to be pathways primarily to low wages, disappearing benefits, and dismal economic security. This briefing paper focuses on four basic questions concerning Maine’s women …

Addressing Sexual Misconduct In Community Corrections, Brenda V. Smith, Maureen Buell, Elizabeth Layman, Susan W. Mccampbell
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN OFFENDERS AND EMPLOYEES of community-based corrections organizations have emerged as a serious issue. Among the most dangerous and destructive of these inappropriate relationships is sexual misconduct. The very nature of community corrections, with semi-autonomous employees, the increasing focus on a rehabilitative rather than the punitive model, the increase of offenders assigned to these programs, and actual allegations of sexual misconduct have raised the awareness of administrators of the need for action.

Re Aliant Telecom Inc And Ac&Twu, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
This is a policy grievance concerning the contracting out of work on two separate occasions. The Union wanted the Employer to stop contracting out work, and pay all damages. The Employer did not believe the work in question was protected from contracting out as outlined in two Letters of Intent that are part of the collective agreement.
The grievances fail. An examination of the negotiating history, nature of the work and the effect it had on the number of union positions support the Employer's position. The Letters of Intent did not cover the type of work which was contracted out. …

Case Studies On The Implementation Of The Workforce Investment Act: Focus On Leadership, Sheila Fesko, Jaimie Ciulla Timmons, Allison Cohen Hall
Case Studies Series, Institute for Community Inclusion
The workforce development system has undergone significant change in the past five years, including the development and implementation of new partnerships. Maintaining the integrity of services and conducting major organizational change has been a challenge for local, state, and federal leaders. Some states have a limited vision of how this new workforce system can operate and the ways in which their customers can benefit from the new partnerships. Other states, however, have embraced the challenge put forth in the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and have built on previous collaborations or begun new initiatives. This publication discusses some of the challenges …

Case Studies On The Implementation Of The Workforce Investment Act: Focus On Merging Cultures, Allison Cohen Hall, Jaimie Ciulla Timmons, Sheila Fesko
Case Studies Series, Institute for Community Inclusion
The implementation of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) requires major organizational change for employment, training, and disability agencies. The initiative emphasizes coordination, collaboration and communication among organizations for better service delivery. At this time, states are developing systems that will enable them to address the needs of all customers, including those with disabilities, who are seeking employment. Traditionally, service systems have required that consumers and their families who need a variety of services be able to negotiate the culture and language of multiple agencies. With the new WIA legislation, this task is now being required of the agencies themselves. In …

Union grievance on behalf of the Grievor alleging that he was hired and subsequently fired without due process, contrary to the 2001-2003 Collective Agreement between the parties, and seeking full redress. At the outset of the hearing in this matter the parties agreed that this Board of Arbitration is properly constituted and, subject to the City's preliminary objection, properly seized of this matter. The City made a preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of this Board of Arbitration to hear this matter based on the allegation that the Grievor was never an employee of the City; i.e., that he was never …

The Union grieves the Employer's failure to convert Part-Time Route 23 to a full time route, and staff the new route in accordance with the Agreement. The Union seeks an order that the Employer convert the route and grant full redress to all employees affected. The Employer takes the position that it is only required to carry out minor restructuring to bring Route 23 into conformity with limits on part-time routes. The Employer acknowledges that this should have been done seven months ago.

Critical Interventions: Toward An Expansive Equality Approach To The Doctrine Of Good Faith In Contract Law, Emily Houh
Critical Interventions: Toward An Expansive Equality Approach To The Doctrine Of Good Faith In Contract Law, Emily Houh
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
This article argues that courts should use the doctrine of good faith in contract law to prohibit improper considerations of race in contract formation and performance, and should recognize good faith as a device for eliminating racial subordination that can function beyond the scope of conventional civil rights discourse. Although civil rights laws provide important remedies to victims of discrimination, the elimination of racial subordination cannot remain the exclusive domain of civil rights law. Rather, other substantive areas of law can and should incorporate expansive equality principles to achieve that end. For example, this article demonstrates how the implied obligation …
Let Unions Be Unions: Allowing Grants Of Benefits During Representation Campaigns, Michael Hayes
Let Unions Be Unions: Allowing Grants Of Benefits During Representation Campaigns, Michael Hayes
All Faculty Scholarship
Unions exist to provide assistance to employees; this is their reason for being. Yet once a union begins a campaign to represent a group of employees, it is legally barred from extending tangible assistance to the workers. The National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB" or the "Board") and courts deem a union grant of benefits to employees during or prior to a representation campaign objectionable conduct that requires setting aside the results of the representation election and holding another election.
This article's proposal to open the door to unconditional union benefits during an organizing campaign will likely be controversial. Part of …
