Democracy In The Private Sector: The Rights Of Shareholders And Union Members, Michael Goldberg Feb 2015

Democracy In The Private Sector: The Rights Of Shareholders And Union Members, Michael Goldberg

Michael J Goldberg

That debate has been enriched by comparative scholarship looking at corporate governance abroad, and comparing corporate governance with public government. This Article explores a different comparison, between corporations and their sometime adversaries across bargaining tables and picket lines – labor unions. More specifically, this article compares the regulation of corporate governance and the regulation of the internal affairs of unions, and the rights of shareholders and …

Derailing Union Democracy: Why Deregulation Would Be A Mistake, Michael J. Goldberg Dec 2001

Derailing Union Democracy: Why Deregulation Would Be A Mistake, Michael J. Goldberg

Michael J Goldberg

This article is a response to Prof. Samuel Estreicher’s article, Deregulating Union Democracy, 21 J. LAB. RES. 247 (2000). It argues against Estreicher’s call for the deregulation of internal union affairs by repealing the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 on several grounds. First, it disputes some of Estreicher’s basic assumptions about the nature and effectiveness of union democracy legislation, in part because Estreicher views unions strictly as economic entities and overlooks their important political and social functions, and in part because he is mistaken when he dismisses the current scheme of regulating internal union affairs as completely ineffectual. …
