Filling The Court-Created Gap In The Protection Of Concerted Activities The Need For Striker Replacement Collective Bargaining, Harold A. Katz

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article discusses the adverse impact of the Mackay doctrine on the effectiveness of concerted activity by allowing the employer to continue production with the use of permanent replacements. Restoration of a protected right to the job after the strike is settled is essential to the preservation and growth of the collective bargaining system in the United States. The author argues that the Mackay doctrine undermines the establishment of stable and enduring labor-management relations which are essential in today's competitive markets. The author concludes with a call for more constructive collective bargaining for the '90's which will improve industry's competitive …

Post-Totalitarian Politics, Guyora Binder

Journal Articles

This review essay examines two Hegelian responses to the unexpected collapse of communism, both published in 1992: The End of History by Francis Fukuyama and Civil Society and Political Theory by Jean Cohen and Andrew Arato. Fukuyama’s book famously predicted that the triumph of markets would lead to the end of armed conflict. Cohen & Arato celebrated the role of civil society activists in overthrowing communism, and proposed that first world progressives follow a similar path to reform. This review essay argues that Fukuyama’s interpretation of Hegel as a cold war liberal ignores Hegel’s warnings about the anomic and antisocial …

Reformist Myopia And The Imperative Of Progress: Lessons For The Post-Brown Era, Donald E. Lively

Vanderbilt Law Review

Over the course of two centuries, constitutional law has evolved as both a source and ratification of moral development. The processes of constructing and interpreting the nation's charter have established a unique window through which it is possible to glimpse the fundamental concerns of bygone and present eras and to observe the competition of values and ordering of priorities that define the society. A survey of the complete record discloses innumerable conflicts of law and morality that have arisen, been resolved, and exist now primarily as historical reference points. It also reveals significant business that remains unfinished. Even as the …

Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind: United States Immigration Law And Policy As Applied To Filipino-Amerasians, Joseph M. Ahern

Washington International Law Journal

In 1982 the United States Congress passed the Amerasian Immigration Act, 8 U.S.C. section 1154(f). The 1982 Act provides preferential immigration status to children in Asia fathered by U.S. service personnel in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Kampuchea, and Thailand. Congress passed the 1982 Act because of the poor economic and social conditions experienced by Amerasians in their homelands. The 1982 Act, however, excludes Amerasian children from the Philippines. Equity dictates that if Congress provides preferential immigration status to one group it should grant those same rights to groups who are similarly situated. Amerasians in the Philippines experience similar economic deprivation and …

Mediation: A Systemic Alternative To Litigation For Resolution Of Church Employment Disputes, J. Michael Fitzgerald, Lynne M.L. Fitzgerald

St. Thomas Law Review

The Catholic Church is a multi-layered system composed of people, as well as entities (e.g., corporations, partnerships, etc.), many of which have been created in an American civil law model. They include, but are not limited to: local parish churches, schools, newspapers, radio and television stations, hospitals, nursing homes, cemeteries, hospices and credit unions. By necessity they employ people to carry out their functions. Disputes can and do arise between these employers and their employees. It has been proposed that methods which are compatible with the conciliatory ways of the Church can be implemented in resolving such disputes. Specifically, this …
