Employee Selection Base On Susceptibility To Occupational Illness, Mark A. Rothstein
Michigan Law Review
This Article attempts to compile the latest information available concerning this difficult problem.

The major accomplishment of the Court in the labor area during the Warren era was a fundamental restructuring of intergovernmental relationships, while the Court's overriding concern throughout the Burger decade of the 1970s and beyond has been the defining of individual rights in the work place.
