Vested Rights And The Portal-To-Portal Act, Ray A. Brown Apr 1948

Vested Rights And The Portal-To-Portal Act, Ray A. Brown

Michigan Law Review

The Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947 attempts, by new and retroactive definitions of what constitutes working time of an employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, to deprive employees of claims under that earlier act, to which the Supreme Court of the United States has held they were entitled. This article will discuss whether this can be done under the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment.

The Taft-Hartley Act And State Jurisdiction Over Labor Relations, Russell A. Smith Mar 1948

The Taft-Hartley Act And State Jurisdiction Over Labor Relations, Russell A. Smith

Michigan Law Review

Of the many problems arising out of the Taft-Hartley Act, not the least perplexing is the determination of its impact upon state jurisdiction over labor relations. The importance of the question is obvious, and is illustrated by Judge Shepard's reaction. Administrators of state labor relations acts and state courts, like the California court, must determine what position to take with respect to their jurisdiction. Employers and unions must make a like determination, and must also come to some conclusion as to the applicability of state law as reflected in other statutes and in judicial decisions. Those charged with the administration …

Comment On The Taft-Hartley Act, Title Iii, Thomas F. Broden

Journal Articles

A fair and just discussion of the Taft-Hartley Act is impossible without a fair determination of the purpose for which it was enacted. The Act itself explains that its purpose is to protect by legal procedures the rights of employees, employers, and the public concerning labor disputes affecting commerce. But to understand fully the basic purpose for this or another law applicable to labor-management relations, we must examine the justification for government activity in the economic sphere.

Labor Law-Torts-Liability Of Labor Union For Inducing Breach Of Contract, Ira M. Price, Ii S.Ed. Jan 1948

Labor Law-Torts-Liability Of Labor Union For Inducing Breach Of Contract, Ira M. Price, Ii S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

During the past fifteen years the law as a whole has moved rapidly in the direction of favoring union activity. A labor policy expressed in numerous federal and state laws and important judicial decisions has generally recognized and protected in the courts the workers' right to be free from employer interference, to strike, to engage in peaceful picketing, and to conduct primary boycotts. Within this liberalizing judicial concept of the rights of labor, the present status of the action against labor unions for inducing breach of contract presents an interesting study of the tenacity of an early common law theory …

Labor Law-Constitutionality Of Statutes Prohibiting "Hot Goods" And "Secondary" Boycotts, Jerry S. Mccroskey

Michigan Law Review

In a contempt action against the business agent of an A.F.L. furniture and van workers local for violation of an injunction based on statutes prohibiting "hot goods" and "secondary" boycotts, held, petitioner discharged; the statutes are violative of the Fourteenth Amendment of the federal Constitution in prohibiting peaceful picketing or other publication of the facts concerning a labor dispute in pursuance of an "agreement or combination to cause" any employee to stop handling certain goods or to put pressure on his employer to do so. ln re Blaney, (Cal.1947) 184P. (2d) 892.

Principal And Agent-Compensation Of Unfaithful Agent, Edwin M. Deal S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, manager of defendant's mechanical division under a contract requiring him to devote all his efforts to this employment and providing that he would share the profits and losses of the division equally with defendant as his only compensation, sued to recover a balance of $42,991.90 in his favor after his discharge by defendant. The contract provided that on "any termination" of plaintiff's employment his account should be adjusted and any credit balance paid him, but defendant contended that plaintiff had forfeited his right to compensation by secretly engaging in a partnership in competition with defendant. The trial court found …

Labor Law-Fair Labor Standards Act-Determination Of "Regular Rate" For Computation Of Overtime Pay, John A. Huston S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Previous to the enactment of the Fair Labor Standards Act, respondent had paid its employees monthly salaries for work schedules which fluctuated from week to week according to the demands of business. After the effective date of the act, respondent sought to comply with section 7 (a), requiring the payment of one. and one half times the "regular rate" of compensation for hours worked above the statutory maximum, by adopting new employment contracts which guaranteed weekly salaries equivalent to the former compensation and fixed an hourly rate which, multiplied by the maximum hours permitted by the act and by one …

De Minimis Non Curat Lex, Max L. Veech, Charles R. Moon Mar 1947

De Minimis Non Curat Lex, Max L. Veech, Charles R. Moon

Michigan Law Review

An age-old maxim often applied but infrequently rationalized is that of de minimus non curat lex. In the recent case of Steve Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Company, the United States Supreme Court focused attention upon the doctrine by ruling that it should be applied in determining whether "walking time" and other "preliminary activities" constitute "work" for which employees are entitled to compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The so-called "portal-to-portal" problems which have arisen as a result of the last mentioned ruling make timely a discussion of the origin, meaning, function and application of …

This comment was originally prepared as a discussion of the decision of the District Court for the District of Columbia. Since it seemed probable that the Supreme Court's decision would be rendered before or shortly after the comment could be published in normal course, the editors decided to delay the printing of this issue of the Review so that a discussion of the Supreme Court opinions could be included. References to the opinions of the Supreme Court Justices appear in brackets.Ed.] Following a breakdown in the collective bargaining process in the spring of 1946 between the majority of …

Michigan Law Review

Defendants were officials of Local 39 of International Hod Carriers Building and Common Labor Union of America, which procured a closed shop agreement with certain contractors on a federal building project.

The Duration Of Certifications By The National Labor Relations Board And The Doctrine Of Administrative Stability, Bernard Cushman Nov 1946

The Duration Of Certifications By The National Labor Relations Board And The Doctrine Of Administrative Stability, Bernard Cushman

Michigan Law Review

The National Labor Relations Act has recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. A decade is a short time in the life of a statute and the process of interpretation of an act which marked a new approach to labor relations problems is far from ended . In fashioning the mosaic of statute and decision which constitutes the basic law for our varied industrial communities, the National Labor Relations Board has had to deal with difficult and diverse problems. Not the least important of these questions comprise those involving the duration of the validity of its certifications.

Labor Law-Some Developments During The Past Five Years-(A Service For Returning Veterans), Russell A. Smith

Michigan Law Review

It will be helpful in appraising labor relations problems of today to recall that unionism in this country has trodden a rough and thorny path over the past century. Unions were not welcomed by employers, worker inertia itself was a considerable obstacle, and by and large the general public was dubious as to the value of unionism. Facing these difficulties unions from the- beginning felt compelled to resort to self-help--the strike, the picket line, the boycott, etc.--to achieve their aims. In so doing they encountered vigorous and successful opposition in the courts, as injured economic interests, and even the government, …


Unemployment Compensation Act-Test Of Employment Relationship, John S. Dobson S.Ed. Apr 1946

Unemployment Compensation Act-Test Of Employment Relationship, John S. Dobson S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Claimant was employed as a salesman by a copartnership at a regular salary. The partnership was composed of three men, one of whom, R. L. Keppen, managed the business, for which he was paid a salary of $175 per month, independently of his share of the profits of the partnership. The other partners received no salary, being dependent upon partnership dividends for their return upon the investment. If Keppen could be considered an employee of the firm during the time· of the claimant's employment, then there would have been compliance with the Michigan Unemployment Compensation Act, which required that a …

Administrative Law-Prior Resort Doctrine-Resort To The Railroad Adjustment Board Before Court Action, William H. Buchanan Apr 1946

Administrative Law-Prior Resort Doctrine-Resort To The Railroad Adjustment Board Before Court Action, William H. Buchanan

Michigan Law Review

The decision in a recent case to the effect that a dispute concerning the construction of a contract of employment between a labor union and a railroad may be adjusted by carrying it before the Railroad Adjustment Board, or by carrying it directly to the courts makes this an apt time to examine the applicability of the doctrine of prior resort to disputes. covered by the Railway Labor Act. Such an examination seems especially necessary in view of the fact that in such cases the courts have not even mentioned the doctrine.
