The Immigration And Nationality Act Amendments Of 1976: Implications For The Alien Professional, Beverly F. Harris
Cleveland State Law Review

The 1974 Health Care Amendments To The National Labor Relations Act: Jurisdictional Standards And Appropriate Bargaining Units, Robert H. Ringer
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The purpose of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is to ensure the well-being of labor-management relations through the encouragement of collective bargaining, and the prohibition of certain practices by labor unions and employers.

This note examines two problems presented by the amendments: (1) the extent of NLRB's jurisdiction under the …
