Protection For Undocumented Workers Under The Flsa: An Evaluation In Light Of Irca, Susan Charnesky Mar 1988

Protection For Undocumented Workers Under The Flsa: An Evaluation In Light Of Irca, Susan Charnesky

San Diego Law Review

In Sure-Tan v. NLRB, the United States Supreme Court held that undocumented workers are protected under the National Labor Relations Act. This Comment argues that protection should be extended under the Fair Labor Standards Act. This Comment also looks at the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), and argues that the passage of IRCA should not affect the right of undocumented workers to be protected and receive remedies under the labor laws.

Irca's Antidiscrimination Provisions: Protections Against Hiring Discrimination In Private Employment, Richard Magalski Mar 1988

Irca's Antidiscrimination Provisions: Protections Against Hiring Discrimination In Private Employment, Richard Magalski

San Diego Law Review

Employers who hire unauthorized aliens face strict penalties from the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Recognizing the potential for discrimination against authorized aliens and United States citizens of minority national origin, IRCA also provides an administrative procedure to handle these discrimination claims. This Comment examines how the current antidiscrimination protections of title VII and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 can be used to supplement the IRCA protections. The conclusion is that IRCA, title VII, and section 1981 can interact to provide adequate protection for those likely to be the target of discrimination.

Indefinite Detention Of Cuban Aliens: Is The End In Sight?, Francis G. Troyan Jan 1988

Indefinite Detention Of Cuban Aliens: Is The End In Sight?, Francis G. Troyan

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

In spite of the fact that international law dictates that a sovereign should be able to protect its borders, international law also dictates that every human being has the right to be free from unnecessary detention. For nearly eight years the United States has indefinitely detained Cuban aliens who arrived in the Mariel boatlift of 1980. This comment examines this policy and offers alternatives to improve the plight of the Cubans without sacrificing the safety of Americans in general.

Products Liability: An Argument For Product Line Liability In Texas Symposium - Business Tort Litigation., Charles E. Cantu, David S. Goldberg

St. Mary's Law Journal

In today’s fast-paced business world, buyouts, takeovers, mergers, and other acquisitions are common occurrences. As a consequence of this corporate turnover, the consumer plaintiff injured while using a defective product may find the search for the proper defendant is futile, simply because the product is now marketed by a different legal entity. Generally, the consumer has no recourse against the manufacturer of the particular product which caused the injury if that manufacturer has since dissolved. This apparent unfairness, coupled with an increase in litigation of this nature over the last decade, has led to the judicial recognition of an exception …

Scources Of Liberty In The Texas Bill Of Rights., Arvel (Rod) Ponton Iii

St. Mary's Law Journal

Many historical, economic, and philosophical forces have combined to create a uniquely “Texian” perspective on liberty that has heavily influenced the Texas Bill of Rights. The original Texas Bill of Rights was drafted in 1836, during the ascendancy of Jacksonian democracy, following the successful revolt from the military dictatorship of General Santa Anna. Texans had lived under Spanish civil law, Mexican constitutional law, a Mexican military dictatorship, English common law, and the Bill of Rights of the United States. The Texas Revolution, the fact that many Texans looked to American and English jurisprudence for guidance, the violation of many rights …

The Evolving Concept Of Preemption Removal: An Expansion Of Federal Jurisdiction., Scott Roberts Jan 1988

The Evolving Concept Of Preemption Removal: An Expansion Of Federal Jurisdiction., Scott Roberts

St. Mary's Law Journal

Federal jurisdiction based on preemption removal should extend to federal laws which meet the requirements of Franchise Tax Board v. Construction Laborers Vacation Trust and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company v. Taylor. The well-pleaded complaint rule restricts federal removal jurisdiction. The well-pleaded complaint rule requires a federal question appear on the face of the plaintiff’s complaint for federal jurisdiction to attach. Therefore, the defendant’s right to a federal forum depends upon whether the plaintiff chooses to invoke a federal claim in its complaint. Courts routinely criticize the linking of removal jurisdiction to the well-pleaded complaint rule for giving plaintiffs incentive to …

Warrantless Arrest Jurisdiction In Texas: An Analysis And A Proposal., Gerald S. Reamey, J. Daniel Harkins Jan 1988

Warrantless Arrest Jurisdiction In Texas: An Analysis And A Proposal., Gerald S. Reamey, J. Daniel Harkins

St. Mary's Law Journal

Within the State of Texas, there exist a great number of “peace officers” who are granted a wide range of power and authority. This includes the power to make warrantless arrests and searches pursuant to those arrests. Significant ambiguity exists regarding a peace officer’s jurisdiction. The confusion is largely due to imprecise statutory language and varying judicial interpretations. Article 998 of Texas Revised Civil Statutes, for example, bestowed on city police officers the same powers, authority, and jurisdiction as city marshals. The statute, though, neglected to define the extent of that jurisdiction, or even what “jurisdiction” meant in that context. …
