It is felt that arrangements related to settlement of relational disputes can no longer accommodate the various developments that have taken place, because the rights of individual workers/laborers have not been recognized in industrial relations disputes. The relationship between workers/laborers and employers is a relationship based on the agreement of the parties, but industrial relations disputes can be caused by termination of employment. Disputes in industrial relations can occur due to differences of opinion which result in conflicts between employers or groups of employers and workers/laborers or trade unions/labor unions due to disputes regarding rights, disputes over interests, disputes over …

The Eeoc, The Ada, And Workplace Wellness Programs, Samuel R. Bagenstos
Articles
It seems that everybody loves workplace wellness programs. The Chamber of Commerce has firmly endorsed those progarms, as have other business groups. So has President Obama, and even liberal firebrands like former Senator Tom Harkin. And why not? After all, what's not to like about programs that encourage people to adopt healthy habits like exercise, nutritious eating, and quitting smoking? The proponents of these programs speak passionately, and with evident good intentions, about reducing the crushing burden that chronic disease places on individuals, families, communities, and the economy as a whole.

Social Media And The Job Market: How To Reconcile Applicant Privacy With Employer Needs, Peter B. Baumhart
Social Media And The Job Market: How To Reconcile Applicant Privacy With Employer Needs, Peter B. Baumhart
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
In the modern technological age, social media allows us to communicate vast amounts of personal information to countless people instantaneously. This information is valuable to more than just our “friends” and “followers,” however. Prospective employers can use this personal data to inform hiring decisions, thereby maximizing fit and minimizing potential liability. The question then arises, how best to acquire this information? For job applicants, the counter-question is how best to protect the privacy of their social media accounts. As these two competing desires begin to clash, it is important to find a method to mediate the conflict. Existing privacy law, …
The Need To Prevent Employers From Accessing Private Social Network Profiles, Brett Novick
The Need To Prevent Employers From Accessing Private Social Network Profiles, Brett Novick
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform Caveat
In March 2012, social network privacy became a conversation topic after news reports of the story of Justin Bassett, a job applicant who withdrew his application in the middle of an interview when the interviewer asked him for the username and password of his private Facebook account. Although the issue has received much attention from the public and media, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has stated that it has no interest in prosecuting employers for asking for social networking account information. Fortunately, legislation that would make it illegal for employers to ask for the username and passwords for social networking …
To Cloak The Within: Protecting Employees From Personality Testing, Elizabeth De Armond
To Cloak The Within: Protecting Employees From Personality Testing, Elizabeth De Armond
All Faculty Scholarship
Employees and job applicants are often subjected to personality tests that seek sensitive, internal information. These tests can intrude on individual privacy simply by their inquisition, and disclosure of their results can pigeonhole and stigmatize people. The work of sociologist Erving Goffman offers insights into the nature of these harms. Furthermore, the personality tests often do not reliably and accurately measure personality traits, and employers may not have accurately identified traits that enhance performance in specific jobs. Current legal structures, including the federal and state constitutions and the Americans with Disabilities Act, may apply to such tests, but are inadequate …

Gina's Genotypes, David H. Kaye
Michigan Law Review First Impressions
In August 2009, the Board of Trustees of the University of Akron added to the university's employment policy the following proviso: "any applicant may be asked to submit fingerprints or DNA sample for purpose of a federal criminal background check." Although the federal government does not do background checks with DNA, the policy is significant because it highlights a largely unexplored feature of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 ("GINA"). Hailed by the late Senator Edward Kennedy as "the first civil rights bill of the new century of life sciences," GINA generally prohibits employers from asking for "genetic information." …
