Mandatory Agency Dues: Beneficial Or A First Amendment Violation?, Steph Nathaniel

GGU Law Review Blog

Unions have long been recognized as a major cornerstone to American culture – they have helped ensure fair wages, hours, and benefits for American workers for over a century.

Undocumented Workers Are Entitled To Vote In Union Elections - But Are They "Employees" Under The Law?, Beth Wolf Mora Sep 2010

Undocumented Workers Are Entitled To Vote In Union Elections - But Are They "Employees" Under The Law?, Beth Wolf Mora

Finally, Part VI concludes that judicial decisions supporting undocumented workers rights as an "employees," outweighs the political opposition to rights for undocumented workers. Therefore, to protect undocumented workers, statutory language should expressly state that they are "employees."

And lastly, I assert that by combining traditional structures with a clearer focus on women's needs, new concepts of reform will emerge to legitimate women's work experiences.
