Alternative Proposals For The Regulation Of An Emergency Strike In The Health Care Industry, Susan A. Jones
Alternative Proposals For The Regulation Of An Emergency Strike In The Health Care Industry, Susan A. Jones
Vanderbilt Law Review
In order to give approximately 1,400,0001 health care employees the protection enjoyed by employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), Congress amended the Act in 1974 to make health care institutions "employers.

The recent enactment in Britain of the Sex Discrimination Act, 1975, and the Race Relations Act, 1976, invites a comparison of those statutes and related …

Fact And Fiction Concerning Multinational Labor Relations, John C. Shearer
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This article briefly reviews the magnitude, nature, and growth of the foreign investments of American-based MNCs, especially those in the nine member countries of the European Community (EC), and summarizes the major union fears and aspirations that arise from the rapid growth in scope and power of MNCs. The article focuses on the realities and fantasies surrounding the prospects for multinational collective bargaining with MNCs, which is widely viewed as the most feasible means by which unions can protect their vital interests threatened by MNCs. Unfortunately, in discussions of this matter considerable fiction is often mixed with fact. Some observers …
