Negligent Retention And Arbitration: The Effect Of A Developing Tort On Traditional Labor Law, Terry A. Bethel
Negligent Retention And Arbitration: The Effect Of A Developing Tort On Traditional Labor Law, Terry A. Bethel
Journal of Dispute Resolution
As negligent retention theories continue to grow, courts will inevitably address these questions. This article will offer a brief introduction to the tort of negligent retention and related doctrines and will discuss how courts will accommodate them within traditional labor law principles. Despite my impulsive reaction that negligent retention poses a threat to arbitration, I conclude that, for the most part, negligent retention and labor arbitration can coexist peacefully.
Arbitration And Its Collateral Estoppel Effect On Third Parties - Vandenberg V. Superior Court, Thurston K. Cromwell
Arbitration And Its Collateral Estoppel Effect On Third Parties - Vandenberg V. Superior Court, Thurston K. Cromwell
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This Note examines why California's supreme court chose not to allow judicially confirmed arbitration awards to apply to third parties. The court based its decision on the contract model of arbitration and determined that an agreement to arbitrate was not necessarily an agreement binding third parties. However, this decision undermines the credibility of the arbitration process and fails to consider the negative impact relitigation of issues will have on the California courts.

Sexual Harassment In The Workplace: How Arbitrators Decide , Mollie H. Bowers, E. Patrick Mcdermott
Sexual Harassment In The Workplace: How Arbitrators Decide , Mollie H. Bowers, E. Patrick Mcdermott
Cleveland State Law Review
For thirty years courts and labor arbitrators have grappled with what constitutes sexual harassment and how to remedy such behavior. The Federal judiciary has developed case law on sexual harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, arbitrators addressing this issue under collective bargaining agreements have often treated similar fact patterns differently than jurists. In contrast, labor arbitrators decide culpability first, and then consider the appropriate remedy. In reconciling these separate paths for establishing standards of workplace conduct, the authors will provide a model that explains how arbitrators decide sexual harassment cases and how this model …
Union-Negotiated Waivers Of An Employee's Federal Forum Rights To Statutory Claims: Are They An Effective Means To Exclusivity, Robert M. Smith
Union-Negotiated Waivers Of An Employee's Federal Forum Rights To Statutory Claims: Are They An Effective Means To Exclusivity, Robert M. Smith
Missouri Law Review
Virtually every collective bargaining agreement provides for the use of labor arbitration in the event that the employer, and the union representing the employee, are unable to reach a mutually agreeable result.' However, even after Wright v. Universal Maritime Service Corp.,3 it remains unclear whether an agreement to arbitrate can require arbitration to be an individual employee's exclusive forum for federal statutory claims. This Note analyzes the United States Supreme Court holding in Wright, and also analyzes both the case law leading up to the Court's decision, and the existing split among the federal circuits as to whether union-negotiated waivers …
