Labor Law As Ideology: Toward A New Historiography Of Collective Bargaining Law, Karl E. Klare Oct 2012

Labor Law As Ideology: Toward A New Historiography Of Collective Bargaining Law, Karl E. Klare

Karl E. Klare

This article discusses a newly emerging historiography of post-New Deal United States collective bargaining law. Critical labor law will be depicted primarily by highlighting its main lines of attack on traditional learning. Most contributions to the literature of collective bargaining law are overwhelmingly doctrinal and rule-focused in emphasis.

The Labor-Management Cooperation Debate: A Workplace Democracy Perspective, Karl E. Klare

Karl E. Klare

Much contemporary debate in the field of industrial relations focuses on the wrong questions. Discussion is often framed in misleading terms or based upon unproductive assumptions. A prime example explored here is the current heated debate about whether we should replace "the adversary structure" of American labor relations with a "cooperative model."
