The Motive Power In Public Sector Collective Bargaining, Martin H. Malin Sep 2018

The Motive Power In Public Sector Collective Bargaining, Martin H. Malin

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

In the private sector, George Taylor referred to the strike as providing the “motive power” in collective bargaining. A major reason behind the enactment of public employee collective bargaining laws is to reduce the interruption of public services from job actions. This was the case with the enactment of New York’s Taylor Law.

This paper, written for a conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Taylor Law and published in a special issue of the Hofstra Labor and Employment Law Journal focused on the Taylor Law, examines what, in the absence of a right to strike, provides the motive power …

Modernizing Disability Income For Cancer Survivors, Ann C. Hodges Mar 2018

Modernizing Disability Income For Cancer Survivors, Ann C. Hodges

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The medical progress in cancer treatment is worthy of celebration, as survivors of many cancers are living longer. This good news, however, comes with challenges for those survivors. Empirical evidence from researchers at cancer centers demonstrates the devastating impact that cancer has on employment, resulting in serious financial stress for survivors and their families. My previous research used this empirical data to recommend changes in employment laws to meet the need of survivors to maintain employment. This article builds on the prior research by using the empirical evidence of the employment effects of cancer to recommend changes in the disability …


No Bayesian Solution To The Transposition Fallacy: More Reason To Be Skeptical Of Statistical Proof Of Discrimination, Kingsley R. Browne Mar 2018

No Bayesian Solution To The Transposition Fallacy: More Reason To Be Skeptical Of Statistical Proof Of Discrimination, Kingsley R. Browne

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Statistical proof of discrimination often entails comparisons of the demographics of an employer’s work force with that of the relevant labor force. The statistical study yields a “p-value,” and if the p-value is below some pre-specified level, the disparity is deemed “statistically significant.” The p-value is often interpreted as the probability that the observed disparity was obtained by chance, but equating the p-value with the likelihood that chance caused the disparity is an example of the “transposition fallacy.” Recognizing this fallacy, some commentators have suggested the use of Bayesian methods, under which the probability of discrimination is estimated by incorporating …


The Loyal Matchmaker Dilemma: When Staffing Firms Should Pay For The Sins Of Their Client, Matthew B. Seipel Mar 2018

The Loyal Matchmaker Dilemma: When Staffing Firms Should Pay For The Sins Of Their Client, Matthew B. Seipel

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This Article recognizes the “loyal matchmaker” dilemma in employment discrimination law. This dilemma exists when a staffing firm complies with or otherwise acquiesces to its client’s unlawful discrimination against its temporary employee not because of that employee’s race, sex, national origin, disability, etc. Rather, it does so because it sees itself as a loyal matchmaker to the client or because of another lawful reason. In these situations, when should the staffing firm be liable?

Employment discrimination law has failed to give a practical, consistent, and flexible liability standard in this context. Generally, courts hold the staffing firm liable only if …

Undercutting Linden Lumber: How A Union Can Achieve Majority-Status Bargaining Without An Election, Charles J. Morris Sep 2017

Undercutting Linden Lumber: How A Union Can Achieve Majority-Status Bargaining Without An Election, Charles J. Morris

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article undercuts Linden Lumber — the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB’s) rule which for almost half a century has permitted — indeed encouraged — employers to condition recognition and collective bargaining on a union’s winning what has become an unfair NLRB election, thus effectively denying the alternative binding effect of majority-based union-authorization cards. Relying on the Supreme Court’s affirmation of the Board’s decision in that case, erroneous conventional wisdom has treated this rule as the statutory interpretation of that Court, which would be unchangeable without legislation. A proper contextual reading of Justice Douglas’s majority opinion, however, definitely shows that …

Erisa Preemption After Gobeille V. Liberty Mutual: Completing The Retrenchment Of Shaw, Edward A. Zelinsky Mar 2017

Erisa Preemption After Gobeille V. Liberty Mutual: Completing The Retrenchment Of Shaw, Edward A. Zelinsky

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Gobeille v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. is the U.S.Supreme Court’s most recent preemption decision under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In Gobeille, the Court completed the process of reconciling the restrained approach to ERISA preemption announced in New York State Conference of Blue Cross & Blue Shield Plans v. Travelers Insurance Co. with the Court’s literal and expansive approach adopted earlier in Shaw v. Delta Air Lines, Inc. Gobeille consummated this reconciliation by confirming the sub silentio retrenchment of Shaw and its “plain language” approach in favor of Traveler’s broader construction of ERISA preemption.

Gobeille held …

Title Ix Sexual Assault Investigations In Public Institutions Of Higher Education: Constitutional Due Process Implications Of The Evidentiary Standard Set Forth In The Department Of Education's 2011 Dear Colleague Letter, Lance Toron Houston Mar 2017

Title Ix Sexual Assault Investigations In Public Institutions Of Higher Education: Constitutional Due Process Implications Of The Evidentiary Standard Set Forth In The Department Of Education's 2011 Dear Colleague Letter, Lance Toron Houston

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This Article examines the constitutional due process impact of the vastly opposite and conflicting standards of review in Title IX sexual assault investigations. Thousands of unionized public employees are subject to the terms and conditions of a public university collective bargaining agreement, which requires a heightened standard of "clear and convincing evidence" to discipline employees. At the same timeperhaps unknowingly-the employee is also held to the strict federally mandated standard of a "preponderance of the evidence," which has a lower standard of review. In short, under the same facts and within the same Title IX investigation, the employee is subject …
