What's Wrong With Police Unions?, Benjamin Levin
What's Wrong With Police Unions?, Benjamin Levin
Publications
In an era of declining labor power, police unions stand as a rare success story for worker organizing—they exert political clout and negotiate favorable terms for their members. Yet, despite broad support for unionization on the political left, police unions have become public enemy number one for academics and activists concerned about race and police violence. Much criticism of police unions focuses on their obstructionist nature and how they prioritize the interests of their members over the interests of the communities they police. These critiques are compelling—police unions shield officers and block oversight. But, taken seriously, they often sound like …

The Workers' Constitution, Luke Norris
Law Faculty Publications
This Article argues that the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, Social Security Act of 1935, and Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 should be understood as a “workers’ constitution.” The Article tells the history of how a connected wave of social movements responded to the insecurity that wage earners faced after the Industrial Revolution and Great Depression by working with government officials to bring about federal collective bargaining rights, wage and hour legislation, and social security legislation. It argues that the statutes are tied together as a set of “small c” constitutional commitments in both their histories and theory. …

Reimagining Trade Agreements For Workers: Lessons From The Usmca, Alvaro Santos
Reimagining Trade Agreements For Workers: Lessons From The Usmca, Alvaro Santos
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
A backlash against the post-Cold War order of liberal globalization has taken hold in the rich North Atlantic countries. Concerns about wages, working conditions, and economic opportunity are central to the critique of international trade agreements of the last three decades. While labor rights have progressively been included in trade agreements, they have done little to reshape workers’ well-being and workplace conditions. The new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) may signal a pivot to a new model requiring reforms of domestic labor law and other issues important to workers. However, there is much more to be done to rebalance the power …
Just Transitions, Ann M. Eisenberg
Just Transitions, Ann M. Eisenberg
Faculty Publications
The transition to a low-carbon society will have winners and losers as the costs and benefits of decarbonization fall unevenly on different communities. This potential collateral damage has prompted calls for a “just transition” to a green economy. While the term, “just transition,” is increasingly prevalent in the public discourse, it remains under-discussed and poorly defined in legal literature, preventing it from helping catalyze fair decarbonization. This Article seeks to define the term, test its validity, and articulate its relationship with law so the idea can meet its potential.
The Article is the first to disambiguate and assess two main …
The New Frontier For Labor In Trade Agreements, Alvaro Santos
The New Frontier For Labor In Trade Agreements, Alvaro Santos
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
In the spring of 2015, I took my students of international trade law to visit the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva. It was a two-day trip, organized around lectures and discussions with staff from different divisions of the organization, the Advisory Centre of WTO Law and the permanent missions of two countries. None of my students had been there before, and even though I had taught international trade law for several years, it was also my first time visiting the headquarters of the organization. We were excited and curious. The building looked big and majestic. The back side opened …
Union Rights For All: Toward Sectoral Bargaining In The United States, Kate Andrias
Union Rights For All: Toward Sectoral Bargaining In The United States, Kate Andrias
Faculty Scholarship
American labor unions have collapsed. Having once bargained for more than a third of American workers, unions now represent only about 6 percent of the private sector workforce. In the wake of new statutory and constitutional limitations, their presence in the public sector is shrinking as well.
New Institution: Resolving Labour Disputes Through Mediation, M.A. Raximov
New Institution: Resolving Labour Disputes Through Mediation, M.A. Raximov
Review of law sciences
the article analyzes the essence of the mediation procedure and its applicability to labor disputes, reveals the advantages of this method of resolving conflicts in the labor sphere, and also identifies some problems of its implementation. The question of the difference between decision of court, the resolution of a dispute in the labor dispute committee and the mediation procedure is raised. Based on the results of the study, the author concludes that the inclusion of mediation in the labor dispute settlement system meets the goals of increasing the stability of labor relations and encourages employees and employers to find a …

Labor-Management Cooperation: Bath Iron Works's Bold New Approach, Jonathan B. Goldin University Of Maine School Of Law
Maine Law Review
An increasing number of employers and unions have found that the best way to compete in the marketplace and secure both profits for the firm and good jobs for workers is through cooperative worker-management relations. As Americans obtain more education, and with the changing nature of some work, employers increasingly find it appropriate to rearrange responsibilities and tasks to employees, who work sometimes as teams and other times as individuals. For their part, more highly educated employees express greater desire to participate in workplace decisions and have the knowledge and competence to undertake more tasks at the workplace. It is …

Its Own Dubious Battle: The Impossible Defense Of An Effective Right To Strike, Ahmed White
Its Own Dubious Battle: The Impossible Defense Of An Effective Right To Strike, Ahmed White
Publications
One of the most important statutes ever enacted, the National Labor Relations Act envisaged the right to strike as the centerpiece of a system of labor law whose central aims included dramatically diminishing the pervasive exploitation and steep inequality that are endemic to modern capitalism. These goals have never been more relevant. But they have proved difficult to realize via the labor law, in large part because an effective right to strike has long been elusive, undermined by courts, Congress, the NLRB, and powerful elements of the business community. Recognizing this, labor scholars have made the restoration of the right …
Resurrecting Labor, Rick Bales
Resurrecting Labor, Rick Bales
Maryland Law Review
Participation in American labor unions has changed radically, albeit incrementally, over the last fifty years. Private-sector union density has declined five-fold, whereas public-sector density has increased almost as significantly. Today, unions rarely strike, and in much of the country, they are politically impotent. As traditional manufacturing declines and is replaced by on-demand work, unions risk becoming a historical footnote.
This Article ties the decline in union density and power to macroeconomic trends that are highly troubling in an advanced democracy, such as rising income inequality and the failure of wage growth to keep pace with gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. …
How Organizing Collegiate Student-Athletes Under The National Labor Relations Act With The Ncaa As A Joint Employer Can Lead To Significant Changes To The Student-Athlete Compensation Rules, Andrew Gruna
Pace Intellectual Property, Sports & Entertainment Law Forum
This paper will provide an overview of how National Labor Relations Board cases of Northwestern University and Browning Ferris combined with the analysis presented in the National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Memorandum GC 17-01: General Counsel’s Report on the Statutory Rights of University Faculty and Students in the Unfair Labor Practice Context could impact the laws behind unionization, the contracts of university athletes, and, ultimately through contract negotiations, reintroduce the discussion regarding compensation of student-athletes.
Ufc Fighters Are Taking A Beating Because They Are Misclassified As Independent Contractors. An Employee Classification Would Change The Fight Game For The Ufc, Its Fighters, And Mma, Vincent Salminen
Pace Intellectual Property, Sports & Entertainment Law Forum
The current state of affairs in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) is overwhelmingly in favor of the companies promoting the fights and not in favor of the athletes actually putting their health and lives at risk. This article looks at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and how it classifies its fighters as independent contractors rather than employees, even though it treats the fighters more like employees. This article addresses issues fighters are having with the current classification and then examines how the fighters could be classified as employees. Finally, the article will address what an employee classification would …

The Role Of The State Towards The Grey Zone Of Employment: Eyes On Canada And The United States, Susan Bisom-Rapp, Urwana Coiquaud
The Role Of The State Towards The Grey Zone Of Employment: Eyes On Canada And The United States, Susan Bisom-Rapp, Urwana Coiquaud
Faculty Scholarship
In most countries, precarious working is on the rise and nonstandard forms of work are proliferating. What we call the “grey zone” of employment is generated by transformations at and with respect to work both in standard and nonstandard forms of working. Focusing on legal and policy regulation, and on the role of the state in the creation and perception of the grey zone, our contribution explains the way the government acts or fails to act, and the consequences of that activity or inactivity on the standard employment relationship. Examining and juxtaposing conditions in our two countries, Canada and the …
Five Myths About Public Sector Labor Law In Nevada, Ruben J. Garcia
Five Myths About Public Sector Labor Law In Nevada, Ruben J. Garcia
Scholarly Works
The forces of collective bargaining reform in the 78th Nevada Legislative Session primarily set about to: (1) make it easier for employees not to pay anything to the unions that are required to represent them in negotiations and grievance handling and (2) eliminate the kinds of agreements and practices that purportedly have caused financial turmoil to the state as it emerges from the depths of the Great Recession. Unfortunately, many of these “reforms” were based on misconceptions about the role and effects of public sector collective bargaining in Nevada and in American society generally. In this article, I describe five …
The Impact Of Emerging Information Technologies On The Employment Relationship: New Gigs For Labor And Employment Law, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt
The Impact Of Emerging Information Technologies On The Employment Relationship: New Gigs For Labor And Employment Law, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt
Articles by Maurer Faculty
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 …

Justice, Employment, And The Psychological Contract, Larry A. Dimatteo, Robert C. Bird, Jason A. Colquitt
Larry A DiMatteo
The paper is a multidisciplinary collaboration between contract law, employment law and management scholars and draws from the fields of law, management, and psychology. After reviewing and noting the gaps in the employment and justice literatures, this paper presents the findings of a survey of 763 participants to measure whether certain variables—procedural and substantive fairness, as well as educating employees on the principle of employment at will—impact the propensities of employees to retaliate and litigate at the time of discharge. The survey results are significant and striking. We find statistically significant reductions in retaliation and litigation rates when survey respondents …

Globalizing U.S. Employment Statutes Through Foreign Law Influence: Mexico’S Foreign Employer Provision And Recruited Mexican Workers, Kati Griffith
Globalizing U.S. Employment Statutes Through Foreign Law Influence: Mexico’S Foreign Employer Provision And Recruited Mexican Workers, Kati Griffith
Kati Griffith
It is widely acknowledged that Mexican nationals comprise a growing portion of the U.S. workforce, both as authorized and unauthorized workers. The focus on Mexican workers who are currently within the United States overshadows the fact that U.S. employers—typically with the help of their Mexico-based agents—are regularly recruiting and hiring low-wage Mexican workers in Mexico to work in the United States (hereinafter referred to as “recruited Mexican workers”). For instance, it was reported in January 2008 that “Iowa meatpackers actively recruited workers in Mexico” to have enough workers so that they could ship pork “from Iowa slaughterhouses to the rest …
