A Regulatory Vacuum Leaves Gaping Wounds-Can Common Sense Offer A Better Way To Address The Pain Of Erisa Remedial Law, Andrew L. Oringer

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The article provides an extensive look at the subject of preemption across the benefits spectrum. It addresses the question of whether there are gaps in ERISA relating to causes of action and remedies available to participants and beneficiaries that should be filled by the courts. Alvin Lurie notes, The age-old debate of strict construction versus judicial activism that has raged in so many sectors of the law in this country is now being replayed in this arena. [Reading Oringer's] article . . . on the 'pain of ERISA preemption' is compulsory of anyone wanting to engage in that debate or …

Erisa Remedies, Welfare Benefits, And Bad Faith: Losing Sight Of The Cathedral, Peter K. Stris Jan 2009

Erisa Remedies, Welfare Benefits, And Bad Faith: Losing Sight Of The Cathedral, Peter K. Stris

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Because of an annual tax subsidy that well exceeds $100 billion, most private healthcare expenses in the United States today are covered by employer-sponsored insurance. Like other important employee-welfare benefits, employer-sponsored health insurance is regulated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) - a landmark federal statute whose primary objective was the protection of private-sector retirement savings. A rich scholarly literature has developed which addresses the effects of federal tax and regulatory policy on the structure and performance of our healthcare industry. Within legal academia, however, one issue in particular has engendered much debate: to what extent …

The Next Generation Of Preemption Cases: State Regulation Of 401(K) Plans, Debra A. Davis Jan 2009

The Next Generation Of Preemption Cases: State Regulation Of 401(K) Plans, Debra A. Davis

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

It is not uncommon for state legislatures and the federal government to enact laws that involve similar issues. However, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) provides that state laws are preempted to the extent they relate to employee benefit plans. Since its enactment in 1974, most of the state laws that have been preempted focused on health matters. However, this is likely to change. With many of their constituents lacking adequate retirement benefits as well as the increased attention being placed on 401(k) plans, states are likely to start attempting to legislate in the area …

On The Authority Of The Two-Member Nlrb: Statutory Interpretation Approaches And Judicial Choices, Ronald Turner Jan 2009

On The Authority Of The Two-Member Nlrb: Statutory Interpretation Approaches And Judicial Choices, Ronald Turner

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Is the National Labor Relations Board statutorily empowered by and under Section 3(b) of the National Labor Relations Act to issue decisions and orders when the membership of this five-member agency falls to two active members? This important question, now before the United States Supreme Court, has been considered by several federal courts of appeals in recent rulings addressing challenges to the two-member Board’s adjudicatory power and decision making authority. This essay focuses on the interpretive theories adopted, methodologies employed, and adjudicative choices made by the courts of appeals grappling with the Section 3(b) quorum issue, and argues that the …

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Federal and state reporters are filled with examples of lopsided arbitration agreements drafted by employers with the apparent intent of discouraging employees from successfully bringing valid claims. The case reporters contain far fewer examples of employment dispute resolution programs that are carefully designed to ensure that employees receive a fundamentally fair forum for the resolution of their employment disputes, for the obvious reason that employees are less likely to challenge these programs. Similarly, most scholarly commentary focuses on the overall merits and demerits of employment arbitration, or on problems posed by particular provisions often found in employment arbitration agreements, but …
