The Worker And Three Phases Of Unionism: Administrative And Judicial Control Of The Worker-Union Relationship, Alfred W. Blumrosen Jun 1963

The Worker And Three Phases Of Unionism: Administrative And Judicial Control Of The Worker-Union Relationship, Alfred W. Blumrosen

Michigan Law Review

This article will examine the extent to which, and the methods by which, individual rights are protected in each of these three phases of union activity. We will see that the employee is well protected in his right to oppose political action of the union and has considerable legal protection for his rights to engage in internal union political struggles, but the employee has received little protection for his economic interests in collective bargaining between unions and employers. A recent decision by the NLRB, which will be examined in some detail, suggests that additional protection for individual economic rights in …


The EngelCase From A Swiss Perspective, F. William O'Brien Apr 1963

The EngelCase From A Swiss Perspective, F. William O'Brien

Michigan Law Review

On June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the State of New York, by using its public school system to encourage recitation of a prayer during classroom hours, had adopted a practice wholly inconsistent with that clause of the first amendment, applicable to the states by virtue of the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits laws respecting an establishment of religion. The opinion of the Court, written by Mr. Justice Black for himself and four other Justices, is interesting in that he rests the Court's decision exclusively upon the establishment clause. In previous decisions, the Court had …


Prayer, Public Schools And The Supreme Court, Paul G. Kauper Apr 1963

Prayer, Public Schools And The Supreme Court, Paul G. Kauper

Michigan Law Review

A more complete understanding of the case, while doing much to temper the initial outburst of disapproval, did not by any means dispel all criticism of the decision or allay all the apprehensions aroused by it. Believing that the Supreme Court's opinion was premised on a fundamentally erroneous interpretation of the establishment clause of the first amendment, Bishop James A. Pike headed a movement to amend the Constitution so as to restore what he regarded as the true and intended meaning of its pertinent language. In the meantime, the Supreme Court has agreed to review and has heard argument on …

The Law Of Obscenity And Military Practice, Harvey L. Zuckman

Scholarly Articles

In recent years, problems surrounding the law of obscenity have become increasingly important and this development has resulted in a corresponding awareness of these problems by the courts, both state and federal. This awareness is now being extended into the military legal field. Two recent decisions, one by the United States Court of Military Appeals and the other by an Army board of review, have focused attention on the military's handling of obscenity problems under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. These recent decisions encompass issues occurring in civilian practice as well as issues peculiar to the military. Before any …

Constitutional Law-Relation Of State And Federal Governments-Application Of The Hatch Act To The Political Activity Of A State Official, Rolfe A. Worden S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff brought an action to set aside a determination of the United States Civil Service Commission that his political activities while Illinois State Director of Conservation were in violation of the Hatch Act. The district court held that such an application of the Hatch Act would infringe upon the plaintiff's vested rights, and would contravene the constitutional guarantee to the state of a republican form of government. On appeal, held, reversed. Application of the Hatch Act to state employees does not deprive them of any vested rights under the United States Constitution. Palmer v. United States Civil Sero. Comm'n …
