Strikes And Impasse Resolution In Public Employment, Arvid Anderson Mar 1969

Strikes And Impasse Resolution In Public Employment, Arvid Anderson

Michigan Law Review

Experience indicates that in most instances the right to strike is not an essential part of the public employment collective bargaining process.18 Thus, the crucial issue is not really whether strikes should be permitted or prohibited in the public sector, but whether the collective bargaining process itself can be made so effective absent the right to strike that the need for work stoppages will be obviated. It is my conclusion that certain proven impasse resolution procedures--mediation, fact-finding, and in some cases, even arbitration--can be substituted for the strike weapon in public employment without substantial loss in the effectiveness of collective …


The Appropriate Unit Question In The Public Service: The Problem Of Proliferation, Eli Rock Mar 1969

The Appropriate Unit Question In The Public Service: The Problem Of Proliferation, Eli Rock

Michigan Law Review

The purpose of this Article is to focus on certain distinguishing aspects of both the problem and the experience in the public sector, and to discuss a possible approach or philosophy for the future. The primary concern here is undue proliferation of units among the large pool of blue-collar and white-collar employees in the public service. No attempt will be made to deal with special groups such as policemen and firemen, in which the unit question is less difficult. Nor will I discuss the unique problems of supervisors and professional employees, such as teachers, which are sufficiently important and complex …


Collective Bargaining In The Public Service Of Canada: Bold Experiment Or Act Of Folly?, H. W. Arthurs Mar 1969

Collective Bargaining In The Public Service Of Canada: Bold Experiment Or Act Of Folly?, H. W. Arthurs

Michigan Law Review

This brief background sketch of the Canadian labor relations scene suffices to indicate that several important impediments to the introduction of a full-fledged system of public service collective bargaining which exist in the United States have no counterpart north of the border. Particularly at the practical level, there were no insuperable hurdles to the enactment of the 1967 Canadian federal law. To understand how and why the new federal statute came to be enacted within this reasonably hospitable environment, it is important to trace the course of employment relations in the Canadian Public Service.


The Evolution Of A Collective Bargaining Relationship In Public Education: New York City's Changing Seven-Year History, Ida Klaus Mar 1969

The Evolution Of A Collective Bargaining Relationship In Public Education: New York City's Changing Seven-Year History, Ida Klaus

Michigan Law Review

The bargaining relationship between the New York City Board of Education and its teachers had its roots in the social forces of the mid-fifties and its formal origins in the events of the early sixties. The relationship came about without benefit of law or executive policy. No law permitting public employees to bargain collectively was in effect anywhere in those years, and Mayor Wagner's 1958 Executive Order-the culmination of three years of study and public inquiry-did not apply to teachers. Instead, the impetus came directly from the persistent and increasingly powerful drive of the teachers themselves. They demanded a substantial …


The Coming Revolution In Public School Management, Donald H. Wollett Mar 1969

The Coming Revolution In Public School Management, Donald H. Wollett

Michigan Law Review

Dr. James Conant has commented on ·what he views as "concurrent educational revolutions"-changes in methods of instruction, in curriculum emphasis, and in public school financing-which portend radical revision in the methods of determining educational policy. However, thus far neither Dr. Conant nor any other observer of similar stature has addressed himself seriously to a fourth educational revolution-in-the-making: the direct involvement of teachers, through structured collective negotiations, in the management of public elementary and secondary school systems. This Article will focus on that coming revolution.

Constraints On Local Governments In Public Employee Bargaining, Charles M. Rehmus Mar 1969

Constraints On Local Governments In Public Employee Bargaining, Charles M. Rehmus

Michigan Law Review

It is to the basic financial and administrative constraints upon the powers of local governing units that this Article is primarily directed. The examples used are taken largely from Michigan experience and Michigan law. The same limitations upon the financial and administrative powers of local government, however, exist in almost all other states. The Michigan experience with public administration and public employee bargaining should provide both a warning and a guide to other states as they cope with the so-called public employee revolution.

Estate Tax--Life Insurance--Section 2035 As A Basis For Including Life Insurance Proceeds In The Gross Estate Of An Insured Who Paid Premiums On A Policy Owned By Another Person, Michigan Law Review Feb 1969

Estate Tax--Life Insurance--Section 2035 As A Basis For Including Life Insurance Proceeds In The Gross Estate Of An Insured Who Paid Premiums On A Policy Owned By Another Person, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

If a decedent possessed any of the incidents of ownership of a life insurance policy, or if the policy proceeds were payable to his executor, the entire amount of the insurance proceeds is included in his estate for estate tax purposes under section 2042 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (Code). However, if the decedent had transferred ownership of the policy to another person in a transaction that both met the requirements of section 2042 and was not regarded as "in contemplation of death," but continued to pay the insurance premiums until his death, it is unclear whether any …

Military Law--"In Time Of War" Under The Uniform Code Of Military Justice: An Elusive Standard, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note will present such an analysis, investigate the deficiencies of the current language in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and suggest an alternative to the elusive standard that presently exists.

Representation And Election: The Reapportionment Cases In Retrospect, William P. Irwin Feb 1969

Representation And Election: The Reapportionment Cases In Retrospect, William P. Irwin

Michigan Law Review

In general, both in the two-year interval between Baker v. Carr and Reynolds v. Sims and in the period following the reapportionment decisions of June 1964, discussion of the issue among scholars and publicists has tended to center upon four problems of varying scope and precision: (1) the jurisdiction of the federal courts to pass upon aspects of state legislative apportionment; (2) the justiciability of the same matter; (3) the substantive merits of the several cases; and, (4) the implications of the decisions for democratic theory and practice. No attempt is made here to reopen the argument about federal jurisdiction; …


Housing Codes, Building Demolition, And Just Compensation: A Rationale For The Exercise Of Public Powers Over Slum Housing, Daniel R. Mandelker Feb 1969

Housing Codes, Building Demolition, And Just Compensation: A Rationale For The Exercise Of Public Powers Over Slum Housing, Daniel R. Mandelker

Michigan Law Review

In programs of housing improvement and slum clearance, public agencies must often make difficult choices between the exercise of public powers of land acquisition, which require the payment of compensation, and public powers of noncompensatory regulation, which require no payment of compensation. This Article focuses on three of these programs-building demolition, urban renewal, and housing code enforcement. Public agencies may demolish slum dwellings, one at a time, without compensation. Title to the cleared site is not affected and remains in the owner after the building has been demolished. Under statutory powers of urban renewal, local public agencies may designate entire …

Systematic Exclusion Of Negroes From Selective Service Boards: Some Proposals For Reform, Michigan Law Review Feb 1969

Systematic Exclusion Of Negroes From Selective Service Boards: Some Proposals For Reform, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The concept of the local draft board is based on the theory that selection of persons for compulsory military service can be accomplished most fairly by small groups of neighbors of those who are to serve. As the National Office of the Selective Service recently stated: "Because of its comparatively long association with a registrant and knowledge of what he has done, the local board is relatively well qualified to evaluate his ability to perform," A corollary to this basic theory is that a more flexible selection process evincing greater sensitivity to the problems of individual registrants can be achieved …

Labor Law--Res Judicata--The Applicability Of Res Judicata And Collateral Estoppel To Actions Brought Under Section 8(B) (4) Of The National Labor Relations Act, Michigan Law Review Feb 1969

Labor Law--Res Judicata--The Applicability Of Res Judicata And Collateral Estoppel To Actions Brought Under Section 8(B) (4) Of The National Labor Relations Act, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note is concerned primarily with the possibility of granting preclusive effect to the Board's determination of the issue of union liability under the section 8(b)(4) charge. Since traditional collateral estoppel principles must be adapted somewhat when applied to the Board's procedures, the preclusive effect given to the prior determination of liability will be referred to simply as "estoppel" in order to avoid confusion with the doctrine of collateral estoppel as it was developed in the courts.


The Free Exercise Of Religion: A Sociological Approach, Joseph M. Dodge Ii Feb 1969

The Free Exercise Of Religion: A Sociological Approach, Joseph M. Dodge Ii

Michigan Law Review

No overriding theory has heretofore been proposed capable of allocating the various rules of decision in free exercise cases according to an appropriate classification of fact situations. This Article suggests an objective sociological approach to defining and weighing the governmental and religious interests inhering in a given free exercise claim in order to eliminate value preferences from the constitutional weighing process. Religious interests will be ranked according to functional criteria internal to all religious systems and not dependent upon the belief content of any given sect. State interests will be analyzed in terms of formalized modes of governmental action involving …

Michigan Law Review

This Article considers first the general understanding of legal scholars and criminologists regarding the deterrent effect of legal sanctions; a second part summarizes current knowledge concerning the effects of legal sanctions in controlling driver behavior; and a concluding section evaluates briefly the methods available for the development of needed new knowledge.


Reapportionment--Legislative Bodies--Significant Deviation From Standard Of Substantial Population Equality Of State Legislative Districts Is Permissible To Provide Representatives For Two Island Counties--Vigneault V. Secretary Of The Commonwealth, Michigan Law Review Jan 1969

Reapportionment--Legislative Bodies--Significant Deviation From Standard Of Substantial Population Equality Of State Legislative Districts Is Permissible To Provide Representatives For Two Island Counties--Vigneault V. Secretary Of The Commonwealth, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Since Baker v. Carr, when the Supreme Court overruled a long line of earlier decisions and concluded that the relationship of the equal protection clause to a state's power to create geographical districts for legislative representation was a justiciable issue, state apportionment plans have come under increasing judicial scrutiny. In Gray v. Sanders, the Court held invalid a Georgia primary election plan which favored voters from rural areas. Although Gray dealt with the dilution of individual voting rights rather than legislative reapportionment, it is important as the first enunciation of the now-famous "one man-one vote" test. Specifically, the …


The Legitimation Of Electronic Eavesdropping: The Politics Of "Law And Order", Herman Schwartz Jan 1969

The Legitimation Of Electronic Eavesdropping: The Politics Of "Law And Order", Herman Schwartz

Michigan Law Review

This Article will examine some constitutional considerations raised by wiretapping and eavesdropping in light of recent Supreme Court decisions, the probable extent of such activity, the limitations imposed upon it by title III and the ABA Standards, and the arguments for the "necessity" of electronic surveillance. Finally, a few jaundiced comments will be offered about legislative and judicial lawmaking in the field of criminal justice, particularly in a time of crisis.


Representation For The Poor In Federal Rulemaking, Arthur Earl Bonfield Jan 1969

Representation For The Poor In Federal Rulemaking, Arthur Earl Bonfield

Michigan Law Review

The ample personal economic resources and relatively well-financed organizations of middle and upper income Americans usually assure their particular interests adequate representation in federal administrative rulemaking. The norm is that middle and upper income individuals, or their personal or organizational representatives, directly or indirectly monitor all agency activities. These persons attempt to protect their interests through formal or informal participation in rulemaking affecting them. But federal rulemaking very frequently affects large numbers of individuals who lack the personal economic resources and organized associations of middle and upper income Americans. These economically underprivileged persons are usually unable to keep themselves adequately …


Labor Law--Nonemployee Union Organizers Granted Access To Company Property For Solicitation Purposes--Solo Cup Company And United Papermakers And Paperworkers, Afl-Cio, Michigan Law Review Jan 1969

Labor Law--Nonemployee Union Organizers Granted Access To Company Property For Solicitation Purposes--Solo Cup Company And United Papermakers And Paperworkers, Afl-Cio, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The principal case emphasizes the general conflict between an employee's right of self-organization under section 7 of the NLRA and the employer's right, as a property owner, to control access to his plant premises. Face-to-face contact between employees and trained union organizers at the workplace would undoubtedly be the most effective way for the union to impart organizational information to the employees. But this assumption overlooks the legitimate interests of the employer; to permit organizational activities in all parts of the plant at any time would be unduly destructive of both plant production and discipline and could result in the …


Restraint Of Trade--Trading Stamps--The Federal Trade Commission And The Green Stamp: The Effect Upon Competition Of Restrictions On Distribution And Redemption Of Trading Stamps, Michigan Law Review Jan 1969

Restraint Of Trade--Trading Stamps--The Federal Trade Commission And The Green Stamp: The Effect Upon Competition Of Restrictions On Distribution And Redemption Of Trading Stamps, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Sperry and Hutchinson Company (S & H), the largest trading stamp company in the United States, has maintained two policies throughout its seventy-two years of business. The one-for-ten policy requires retailers licensed by S & H to issue stamps to consumers at the rate of one stamp for every ten cents worth of merchandise purchased. The intent of this policy is to prevent retailers from engaging in "multiple stamping"-the practice of giving more than one stamp for every ten-cent purchase. This restricted rate of issuance is maintained through contractual agreements between the stamp company and its licensees. The second policy …

Earl Warren, The "Warren Court," And The Warren Myths, Philip B. Kurland Dec 1968

Earl Warren, The "Warren Court," And The Warren Myths, Philip B. Kurland

Michigan Law Review

"It" is not enough for the knight of romance," Justice Holmes once reminded us, "that you agree that his lady is a very nice girl-if you do not admit that she is the best that God ever made or will make, you must fight." So, too, with the admirers of the Chief Justice and their "fair lady." For the moment, Earl Warren is enjoying the lavish praise that is not uncommonly ladled out when a man voluntarily decides to end a long and important government career. The contents of this issue of the Michigan Law Review may be taken as …
