Labor—Picketing—When Enjoinable, Robert S. Mucklestone

Washington Law Review

At a previous trial P was granted an injunction against picketing by D union after it was found that a labor dispute existed but that one of the objectives of the union was unlawful. The decree was affirmed in Ostroff v. Laundry & Dye Works Local 566, 37 Wn. 2d 595, 225 P. 2d 419 (1950). The basis for the finding of a labor dispute was in the existence of an employer-employee relationship between P and one member of D union. The illegal objective was that P sign a contract with D that he employ only union members in his …

Legislation-Michigan Veterans' Re-Employment Act, William Andrew Bain, Jr. S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A recent Michigan statute provides for the re-employment of former employees of the state or the subdivisions thereof who left their positions, voluntarily or involuntarily, for service in the armed forces of the United States and have been honorably discharged. No opinion as to the interpretation or effect of the statute has been rendered by the Michigan courts or by any official state agency, but an examination of the very similar federal statute, and the litigation which it has fostered, indicates that a number of problems may arise. An insight into some typical problems and their possible solutions may be …

Labor Law-Class Action By Labor Union Members To Enforce Collective Bargaining Agreement-Jurisdiction Of State Courts, John Houck S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff was an employee of defendant corporation, and an officer of the union accredited as bargaining agent. He brought an equity suit in the Ohio courts for specific enforcement of a collective bargaining agreement and to collect back wages, on behalf of himself and other union members similarly situated. The basis of the suit was section 11257 of the Ohio General Code, providing for class actions. The lower court dismissed the petition on the grounds of no jurisdiction under that section. On appeal, held, reversed. Although the defendant corporation's activities in interstate commerce subject it to federal labor legislation, …

Union Security Under Federal Statutes; A Primer, George Maxwell

Cleveland State Law Review

Protection against prosecution under the anti-trust acts is extended to a union whenever (1) the union acts in protection of its own interests; (2) acts without combination with employers; (3) does not authorize the illegal acts of its agents officially and (4) is engaged in a labor dispute as defined by the Norris-LaGuardia Act. Whenever these circumstances exist the union is secure against a finding that it is in violation of the anti-trust acts.

Labor Law-Legality Of Employer's Use Of Lockout, Norman M. Spindelman S.Ed., William K. Davenport S.Ed

Michigan Law Review

One of the employer's traditional weapons against the economic power of unions is the lockout. Since the central economic element involved in strikebreaking is that the operation of the plant and equipment is as important to labor as labor is to the operation of the plant and equipment, the lockout is one of the simplest methods of strikebreaking or of resisting union demands. This is so because in the endurance contest which ensues the economic resources of the employer are likely to be greater than those of the employee. Just as there are restrictions on union use of the strike, …

Petitioner, a local of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, established a picket line at respondent's lumber mill and notified other locals to refuse to unload respondent's products. Petitioner sought to force respondent to assign certain jobs to its men. Respondent's policy had been to use its own employees for the disputed work. As a result of petitioner's action respondent was forced to suspend its operations. Respondent filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB alleging union violation of section 8(b)(4)(D) of the LMRA. After some time the NLRB determined that petitioner's men were not entitled to the disputed …

Union Membership: Privilege Or Right?, Keith M. Callow

Washington Law Review

The rapid growth of the labor union movement in the past sixty years has created many new, unique and complex problems. The application of old concepts and theories to these problems often has resulted in illogical and inequitable answers. In certain branches of labor law the courts have been slow in providing workable rules due to their adherence, not only to the old concepts, but also to—as if they applied to the present situation—the reasoning behind the old concepts. Some problems are being misread. Union membership must come to be recognized as a right and not a mere privilege. The …

Significant Developments In Labor Law During The Last Half-Century, Russell A. Smith

Michigan Law Review

It is common knowledge that dramatic and almost revolutionary developments have taken place in labor law since the turn of the century. Indeed, "labor law" has only during this period achieved the distinction of a recognized branch of the law. Concurrently, trade unions have experienced an amazing growth, as well as changes in basic structure, and it may fairly be stated that the enlargement of the pertinent body of law has both stimulated and been influenced by the augmentation of union power. This article is intended as a survey of significant developments in the law, not as a treatment of …

Effect Of Verdict For Employee In Joint Action Against Employer And Employee, Cubbege Snow Jr.

Mercer Law Review

The recent decision in the case of Moffett v. McCurry, decided by a full bench of the Court of Appeals of Georgia, brings to mind the question presented by this comment. That is, what is the effect of a verdict in favor of the employee in a joint action against the employer and employee?

In considering this problem, there are actually two different answers, both of which are followed by a majority of the jurisdictions in the United States. And these two solutions are not inconsistent, but are rather in harmony, one applying under one situation of facts and …

Migratory Labor--Some Legal, Economic And Social Aspects, William S. Tyson

Mercer Law Review

For the past year, the farmers of our country have been called upon to produce the largest crops in our history. As one official of the United States Department of Agriculture has stated, "This is really a remarkable goal in view of the fact that our farm production in nine out of the last twelve years has either set a new record for production or has equalled the record then existing." Agricultural production is as essential in our present mobilization effort as it was in World War II. It is, therefore, imperative that this nation increase its supplies of agricultural …
