Enforcement Of Occupational Safety And Health Laws In Virginia: A New Beginning, Anthony F. Troy, Robert D. Perrow Jan 1978

Enforcement Of Occupational Safety And Health Laws In Virginia: A New Beginning, Anthony F. Troy, Robert D. Perrow

University of Richmond Law Review

Preempted in 1972 from enforcing its laws and regulations pertaining to employee safety and health by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA), Virginia resumed enforcement activities on January 1, 1977, implementing, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Act, a unique developmental State Plan. Virginia's resumption of enforcement activity in the area of job safety and health culminated a difficult four-year effort by the legislative and executive branches of Virginia government to gain recognition from the United States Department of Labor that her regulations and the method for enforcing the regulations were "at least as effective" as …

Alternative Proposals For The Regulation Of An Emergency Strike In The Health Care Industry, Susan A. Jones Oct 1977

Alternative Proposals For The Regulation Of An Emergency Strike In The Health Care Industry, Susan A. Jones

Vanderbilt Law Review

In order to give approximately 1,400,0001 health care employees the protection enjoyed by employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), Congress amended the Act in 1974 to make health care institutions "employers. Recognizing the public's dependence upon the unique services provided by health care facilities, Congress was hesitant, however, to extend coverage under the Act to health care employees without providing additional safe-guards. These safeguards are embodied in the following special provisions: (1) the extension of the sixty-day notice requirement for modification of an expiring contract to ninety days; (2) the creation of a thirty-day notice requirement of a …

Denying Maternity Benefits Is Not Sex Discrimination Under Title Vii, Dewey Ray Mckenzie Jr.

Mercer Law Review

The U.S. Supreme Court, in General Electric v. Gilbert, held that the exclusion of pregnancy benefits from General Electric's general coverage disability plan for employees did not violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. General Electric's disability plan provided sickness and accident benefits for all employees, including those who became disabled as a result of a non-occupational sickness or accident. The plaintiffs in the initial suit were hourly paid production workers in General Electric's Salem, Virginia, plant, each of whom had become pregnant and had filed a claim for disability benefits.

Workmen's Compensation - Occupational Diseases - Radiation Injury Amendment, Vance A. Fisher S.Ed. Dec 1959

Workmen's Compensation - Occupational Diseases - Radiation Injury Amendment, Vance A. Fisher S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The Kansas Workmen's Compensation Act has recently been amended to take more complete account of the complex nature of injuries which might arise through the increased use of radioactive materials and ionizing radiation. The effect of the amendment is twofold. First, it makes more inclusive the definition of radiation injury as an occupational disease by treating "exposure to ionizing radiation" as a cause of compensable injury. Second, it removes all time limitation periods with regard to the giving of notice and the filing of claims and extends the general limitation period from one year from the date of disablement or …
