Prepared Statement For The National Mediation Board, Kate Bronfenbrenner
Prepared Statement For The National Mediation Board, Kate Bronfenbrenner
Kate Bronfenbrenner
Testimony before the NMB hearings on the proposed rule change to the RLA that recommend changing the voting standard from the majority of eligible voters to the majority of votes cast. The testimony summarized findings from the first ever national academic study of organizing under the RLA. Based on findings that showed that under the RLA standard greater employer suppression is correlated with lower turnout while under the NLRB standard both the union and the employer work aggressively for high turn out, the author argued for changing the voting standard to majority of votes cast.

[Excerpt] After two decades of massive employment losses in heavily unionized sectors of the economy and exponential growth of the largely unorganized service sector, the U.S. labor movement is struggling to remain relevant. Despite new organizing initiatives and practices, union organizing today remains a tremendously arduous endeavor, particularly in the private sector, as workers and their unions are routinely confronted with an arsenal of aggressive legal and illegal antiunion employer tactics. This vigorous opposition to unions in the private sector does not stop once an election is won, but continues throughout bargaining for an initial union agreement, all too often …

Combating Of Child Labor In Agriculture: Criticism Of Existing Standards And Role Of Transnational Corporations, Irina Feofanova

According to International Labour Organization (ILO) statistics, more than 70 percent of all child laborers work in agriculture. From tending cattle, harvesting crops, to handling machinery or holding flags to guide planes spraying pesticides, more than 132 million girls and boys, aged 5 to 14, help produce much of the food and drink people consume, as well as fibers and primary agricultural materials. ILO also notes that, of course, the numbers vary from country to country but it is estimated that at least 90 percent of economically active children in rural areas in developing countries are working in agriculture. However, …

Citizen Employees, Richard R. Carlson
Citizen Employees, Richard R. Carlson
Richard R Carlson
“Citizen employees” are employees who favor the public interest even when doing so exposes them to the risk of retaliation by their employers. They are widely praised in the media, but laws for their protection are uneven, incomplete, and inadequate for their protection. This article proposes that lawmakers should recognize citizen employees as a distinct class for purposes of drafting and developing laws for their protection. This article also proposes that lawmakers should define the protected conduct of citizen employees broadly and with reference to a broad range of public interests, and that they should authorize the courts to develop …

This Article shall present a detailed analysis of Equality Rights in the United States and Canada, and their relationship to race based government affirmative action programs as practiced in those two countries. At its most basic level, Equality Rights can be defined generally as the idea that a government must not discriminate against its citizens (i.e. treat some of them differently from others). Yet given this general definition of Equality Rights, how can one reconcile the concept with that of race based affirmative action programs? As this Article shall demonstrate, via its survey of the radically opposed American and Canadian …
Legal Storytelling: The Theory And The Practice - Reflective Writing Across The Curriculum, Nancy Levit
Legal Storytelling: The Theory And The Practice - Reflective Writing Across The Curriculum, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
This article concentrates on the theory of narrative or storytelling and addresses the reasons it is vital to encourage in law schools in non-clinical or primarily doctrinal courses. Section I traces the advent of storytelling in legal theory and practice: while lawyers have long recognized that part of their job is to tell their clients' stories, the legal academy was, for many years, resistant to narrative methodologies. Section II examines the current applications of Writing Across the Curriculum in law schools. Most exploratory writing tasks in law school come in clinical courses, although a few adventurous professors are adding reflective …
Theorizing And Litigating The Rights Of Sexual Minorities, Nancy Levit
Theorizing And Litigating The Rights Of Sexual Minorities, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
One of the best measures of a society is how it treats its vulnerable groups. A central idea in Professor Martha Nussbaum's writings is that all humans "are of equal dignity and worth, no matter where they are situated in society." The strategic challenge in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) rights litigation is how to get courts to see sexual minorities as people worthy of equal dignity and respect. This article focuses on the roles of a positive emotion - love - and a procedural method of proof - science - in the shaping of laws defining the rights …
