The Transformation Of The Professional Workforce, Marion Crain Jun 2004

The Transformation Of The Professional Workforce, Marion Crain

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Historically, the professions avoided commodification through a social bargain in which they exchanged their professional expertise and dedication to public service for autonomy, the ability to self-regulate through peer review, and monopoly power over their knowledge base.

In stark contrast to popular myth, this Article finds that players drafted straight out of high school are not only likely to do well …

Labor And Employment Law In Two Transitional Decades, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 2004

Labor And Employment Law In Two Transitional Decades, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

Labor law became labor and employment law during the past several decades. The connotation of "labor law" is the regulation of union-management relations and that was the focus from the 1930s through the 1950s. In turn, voluntary collective bargaining was supposed to be the method best suited for setting the terms and conditions of employment for the nation's work force. Since the 1960s, however, the trend has been toward more governmental intervention to ensure nondiscrimination, safety and health, pensions and other fringe benefits, and so on. "Employment law" is now the term for the direct federal or state regulation of …
