Wage Stabilization, Harold A. Seering

Washington Law Review

In the course of this discussion I do not feel it incumbent upon me to argue the case of wage stabilization. It is one of the facts of our war-time economy and whether we agree with its basic philosophy or not we must live with it. As I see it, the chief function of this discussion is to highlight the wage stabilization program so that your task as practicing attorneys who are frequently faced with wage stabilization problems will be made easier. In the measure which I can accomplish that result our task on the Twelfth Regional Board is also …

Constltutional Law - Labor Unions - Injunction

Michigan Law Review

Complainants owned and operated a small cafeteria conducting the business without the aid of any employees. Defendants, a labor union and its president, picketed the cafeteria in an attempt "to organize it." The picketing was carried on by parade of one person at a time in front of the premises, at all times in an "orderly and peaceful" manner. Signs were carried which tended to give the impression that the complainants were "unfair" to organized labor and that the pickets "had been previously employed in the cafeteria." These representations were knowingly false in that there had been no employees in …

Reinstatement Of Employees Under The Fair Labor Standards Act, George W. Crockett, Jr.

Michigan Law Review

The Fair Labor Standards Act is one of several comprehensive federal enactments regulating the relationship between employers and their employees in interstate commerce. These enactments have not followed a common pattern, nor have the means provided for their effective administration and enforcement been the same in each instance. Taken together, however, they establish our national labor policy. The underlying theory of this policy is that employees do not stand upon an equal footing with organized management and are unable to exert, individually, sufficient bargaining power to prevent management from imposing upon them conditions of employment detrimental to their welfare and …

Freezing Of Labor In Wartime, James Gay

Washington Law Review

Regardless of the institutional or political structure of the countries engaged in modem warfare, competition for manpower among the armed forces, agriculture and industries creates labor shortage problems which, of necessity, must be solved by similar methods as long as the total amount of human resources is limited. A cursory glance at the wartime labor legislation of Great Britain, Canada, the U.S.S.R., and Germany shows that the means of coping with the steadily increasing labor shortage are on the whole similar in all four countries. Recent developments in the field of manpower allocation and wage freezing in the United States, …

Coverage Of The Fair Labor Standards Act, Malcolm M. Davisson

Michigan Law Review

The Fair Labor Standards Act was upheld by the Supreme Court as a valid exercise of the commerce power in United States v. Darby. By expressly overruling Hammer v. Dagenhart and limiting the application of Carter v. Carter Coal Co., the Court recognized that production is not to be divorced from commerce and extended greatly the range of Congressional control over substandard labor conditions through exercise of the commerce power. There remained, however, the determination of the coverage of the act, which is essentially a problem of statutory delineation in the application of the act to particular fact …

In Defense Of The Supreme Court's Picketing Doctrine, Louis L. Jaffe

Michigan Law Review

Picketing, pursued by state prohibition, has now found sanctuary in the Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment recognizes it as free speech. But not always, says the majority of the Court. There has been sharp fire from both the Right and the Left. The criticism runs much as it did against the Duke of York's generalship of his men. "When they were half-way up they were neither up nor down." In a recent article Mr. Teller argues that picketing is not an exercise of free speech and should never have been constitutionally guaranteed as such. It was the first mistake of the …

Labor Law-Objectives Test For Determining The Legality Of Labor Activities, Arthur B. Lathrop

Michigan Law Review

It is the purpose of this paper to make a survey of the status of the objectives test as a method of determining the legality of labor activity before the Supreme Court rendered its momentous decisions in Thornhill v. Alabama, American Federation of Labor v. Swing, and the Meadowmoor case. Thereafter the state decisions will be examined to determine the effect of these recent Supreme Court cases on the objectives test.

What Constitutes A Fair Procedure Before The National Labor Relations Board, Clyde W. Summers

Michigan Law Review

No administrative body in recent times has received as much criticism, both favorable and unfavorable, as has the National Labor Relations Board in its administration of the National Labor Relations Act. Such a vast amount of material has been written on the procedure before the board that any further discussion would seem superfluous. However, the discussion of the board's procedure has been related more to the wisdom of choice which the board has made in setting up its procedure than to a determination of the line that separates legality from illegality in its determination of cases.

Military Action In Labor Disputes, William Burns Lawless

Journal Articles

Generally, we may say that the executive power to initiate military action is commensurate with the emergency. If the situation is grave, the civil courts may be closed and a military commission appointed by the governor to substitute for the judiciary. In all events the power is potentially a vast one. Discriminate, ly applied it bargains a temporary suspension of rights for a restoration of law and order.

Labor Activities And Anti-Monopoly Legislation, Robert A. Purdue

Washington Law Review

The uproar of the ancient market place was the symbol of competition until contemporary times. Each purchase or barter was a thing of its own; each buyer was to be treated according to "what this part of the traffic will bear"; each seller was to be heckled until the price would be cut no lower. Although "survival of the fittest" was the keyword, by and large the majority survived. Contrary to popular opinion, however, history has numerous examples of ancient and semi-modern attempts to control some of the unwanted effects of the competitive system. Furthermore, while early civilizations may have …

The Collective Bargaining Agreement And Its Legal Effects [Part 1], Nona B. Fumerton

Washington Law Review

The significance of the collective labor agreement is naturally of importance to employers and their workers, but the public as a whole has an equally vital interest in the matter. The strike and its picket line, the lockout and the blacklist all create economic waste ultimately borne by the public. The concurrent disruption of industrial life and the imminence of violence and bloodshed suggest the value of industrial peace to the community, ind this is particularly true in wartime, when the utmost possible elimination of interruptions in production becomes a matter of urgent iational concern. The collective agreement, representing the …

Labor Law - Antiracketeering Act Not Applicable To Labor Unions, Harry M. Nayer

Michigan Law Review

Defendant Teamsters Union and twenty-six individual defendants were convicted for the violation of the Antiracketeering Act. Defendants had by threats of violence forced the owners of all trucks entering the city of New York to pay members of defendant union the regular union wage for driving and unloading a truck regardless of whether the tendered services were accepted. Held, the act was not intended to apply to such labor activity, and defendant did not violate the act if the money was received with the intention of rendering services therefor, even if the services were not accepted. Such payments constituted …

Railroads - Abandonment - Power Of Interstate Commerce Commission To Authorize Abandonment Subject To Conditions For Protection Of Employees, Robert D. Ulrich

Michigan Law Review

The railroad applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to carry out a general program of rearrangement involving the abandonment of certain lines. The union appeared, and contended that if the commission were to grant the order, it should incorporate conditions for the benefit of employees who would be displaced or otherwise prejudiced by the abandonment. The commission permitted the abandonment, but held that it was without authority to impose any conditions for the protection of employees. The federal district court held that the commission had authority to impose the requested conditions; on appeal, held, it is within …

Labor Law - Coverage Under Fair Labor Standards Act Of Service Employees Of Loft Building Whose Tenants Are Engaged In Commerce, Lee B. Brody

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was a lessor of a loft building, portions of which were occupied by clothing manufacturers who shipped their products into interstate commerce. As part of its obligation under the lease, the defendant offered service and maintenance of the building, employing for that purpose elevator operators, watchmen, firemen, an engineer, a carpenter and his helper, and a porter. Defendant appealed from an injunction prohibiting it from further violating the wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The circuit court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the district court granting the injunction. Held, on certiorari, one justice …
