A Proposal For Apportioning Damages In Fair Representation Suits, Kenneth B. Mcclain
A Proposal For Apportioning Damages In Fair Representation Suits, Kenneth B. Mcclain
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Apportionment of damages in fair representation suits represents one of the most unsettled issues in labor law today. Although the Supreme Court has attempted to establish a single "governing principle" for apportioning damages, lower courts have read this principle as authorizing two divergent standards for apportionments. Part I of this article traces the evolution from the Court's original standard presented in Vaca v. Sipes through two subsequent applications of that standard: the Czosek v. O'Mara standard, which interpreted Vaca as placing the bulk of damages on the employer, and Justice Stewart's standard taken from his concurrence in Hines v. Anchor …
Advance Notice Of Plant Closings: Toward National Legislation, Joseph A. Cipparone
Advance Notice Of Plant Closings: Toward National Legislation, Joseph A. Cipparone
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Part IV proposes a complete model advance notice statute. The model statute establishes minimum requirements for a viable advance notice system, …
Protecting Retired Workers From Inflation: Collective Bargaining For Retiree Benefits, Richard M. Bank, Thomas C. Woodruff
Protecting Retired Workers From Inflation: Collective Bargaining For Retiree Benefits, Richard M. Bank, Thomas C. Woodruff
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The purpose of this article is to explore whether the collective bargaining process in its present form, or with certain modifications, can provide workers with meaningful protection against inflation. Part I evaluates the adequacy of the collective bargaining process by examining the internal dynamics of unions, the interests of employers and the application of the doctrine of fair representation to collective bargaining. After concluding that the current system inadequately protects retirees, Part II proposes alternative methods to strengthen the role of retirees in the collective bargaining process.
Tax-Based Incomes Policy (Tip) As A Alternative To Wage And Price Controls, Steven R. Hunsicker
Tax-Based Incomes Policy (Tip) As A Alternative To Wage And Price Controls, Steven R. Hunsicker
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this article will evaluate the major arguments opposing such policies against the background of the recent American experience with wage and price controls. Part II, in light of the applicability of these arguments to TIPs, will consider whether some variant of TIP could realize the claimed benefits while minimizing the economic and administrative costs usually associated with wage and price controls.
