Working Backwards: The Covenant Of Good Faith And Fair Dealing In Employment Law, Deborah A. Schmedemann
Working Backwards: The Covenant Of Good Faith And Fair Dealing In Employment Law, Deborah A. Schmedemann
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the covenant of good faith and fair dealing with respect to employment law. This doctrine is at an interesting stage in its development (or decline) in Minnesota and elsewhere. The article begins with the standard exposition of the current state of the law; part I describes the limited scope of the covenant and its limited force in Minnesota employment law. Part II contains my assessment of the courts' handling of the covenant and the promise this theory holds for Minnesota employees and employers. My theses are: First, the courts have thus far failed to develop a sound …
Comparable Worth In Arbitration, Christine D. Ver Ploeg
Comparable Worth In Arbitration, Christine D. Ver Ploeg
Faculty Scholarship
In 1992 Minnesota became a pioneer in the arena of equal pay for equal work by enacting the Minnesota Local Government Pay Equity Act/Comparable Worth Law (“CWL”), which allocated nearly $22 million to remedy wage disparities between female dominated and male dominated classes at the state level. Each local government had to determine a new pay level for public employees taking into account whether it was a male or female dominated field. Many of these determinations were challenged by unions basing their challenges on two primary themes: (1) the methodologies used were flawed; (2) the determinations were invalid because the …
Limiting Section 301 Preemption: Three Cheers For The Trilogy, Only One For Lingle And Lueck, Michael C. Harper
Limiting Section 301 Preemption: Three Cheers For The Trilogy, Only One For Lingle And Lueck, Michael C. Harper
Faculty Scholarship
After Lueck the preemption of state law claims by employees covered by collective bargaining agreements seemed to spread.26 Lingle partially stemmed the flow, 27 but the lower courts continue to deny significant state law rights to unionized employees in the name of section 301 and the arbitration process that it has encouraged. 28 Many of these lower court decisions paint a much too broad swath of section 301 preemption through the range of employment rights now being made available by state law.
The fault, I suggest, lies with the preemption test suggested in Lueck and expressly articulated in Lingle …
In Pursuit Of Workplace Rights: Household Workers And A Conflict Of Laws, Suzanne B. Goldberg
In Pursuit Of Workplace Rights: Household Workers And A Conflict Of Laws, Suzanne B. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
At some point in their lives, most people who live in the United States labor for pay. By becoming "work force members," they are immediately entitled and obligated to participate in government programs, such as Social Security, that are designed to protect workers' health and financial security. In certain sectors of the work force, however, employer (and employee) noncompliance with these laws is rampant. The problem is particularly severe for private household workers migrant farmworkers, and undocumented workers generally. Officially acknowledged nonenforcement is widespread as well, leaving employers free to disregard explicit legal obligations with little fear of reprisal.
