Retooling The Ilo: How A New Enforcement Wing Can Help The Ilo Reach Its Goal Through Regional Free Trade Agreements, Thomas Payne
Retooling The Ilo: How A New Enforcement Wing Can Help The Ilo Reach Its Goal Through Regional Free Trade Agreements, Thomas Payne
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Raising global labor standards has been a goal of labor activists, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and nations for over a century. The International Labor Organization (ILO) was created nearly one hundred years ago for that purpose, but a century later its goal remains largely unfinished. This paper will propose a retooling initiative for the ILO that will give it the enforcement power it needs for real labor standard change and the resources it needs to use that enforcement power to promote work according to established international labor standards. This enforcement power will take place through regional free trade agreements (RFTAs), which …

Beyond "Best Practices": Employment-Discrimination Law In The Neoliberal Era, Deborah Dinner
Indiana Law Journal
Why does U.S. legal culture tolerate unprecedented economic inequality even as it valorizes social equality along identity lines?

The Article argues that even “best practices” to prevent employment discrimination are insufficient to realize a labor market responsive to the needs of low-income workers for adequate wages, safe work conditions, and work hours and …

Pregnant women sometimes ask employers for accommodations – such as being able to sit on a stool or avoid heavy lifting – to permit them to work safely and productively. In 2015, in Young v. United Parcel Service, the Supreme Court held that the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) requires courts to scrutinize carefully denial of such requests. The facts in Young arose prior to the effective date of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA); accordingly, the Court did not address how the ADAAA, which expanded the range of health conditions that qualify as disabilities, affects claims for accommodations under …

The Impact Of Emerging Information Technologies On The Employment Relationship: New Gigs For Labor And Employment Law, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt

The technology of production has always shaped the employment relationship and the issues that are important in labor and employment law. Since at least the late 1970s the American economy has adopted information technology that promises to change the employment relationship in ways at least as profound as those wrought by the other revolutions in general production technology, such as the adoption of steam power, electricity, or methods of mass production. The global network of programmable machines of the information age allows us to communicate and process much more information, much more quickly than ever previously imagined. This increased informational …
