The National Labor Relations Board's "Integrated Industries" Policy: An Administrative Grandfather Clause, Robert M. Keenan
The National Labor Relations Board's "Integrated Industries" Policy: An Administrative Grandfather Clause, Robert M. Keenan
Washington Law Review
In carrying out its statutory responsibility to determine whether a unit of craft employees, rather than a broader unit, is appropriate for purposes of collective bargaining, the National Labor Relations Board (hereinafter referred to as the Board) ordinarily must strike a balance between sharply conflicting interests. One or more groups of specially skilled workmen will desire to be disassociated from other employees in order to obtain relatively superior terms and conditions of employment. The employer will probably oppose separate representation for the specialists, believing it not conducive to stable labor relations. And often an incumbent union, which has represented the …
State Wage Collection Laws: Supplementing The Bankruptcy Act, D. Mckay Snow
State Wage Collection Laws: Supplementing The Bankruptcy Act, D. Mckay Snow
Washington Law Review
The general problem to be considered here is that of the employer's insolvency and consequent inability to pay wages which have already been earned. More specifically this comment examines the various types of state legislation designed to assist employees in the collection of these earned but unpaid wages, with primary consideration directed to those statutes which enable the employee to circumvent the limitations of the federal Bankruptcy Act. State wage priority statutes are therefore not included, nor are general creditor collection devices, criminal sanctions against non-payment of wages, and laws authorizing the assignment of wage claims to an administrative agency …
Unemployment Compensation—Part Time Farming—Partial Unemployment, Hayes Elder
Unemployment Compensation—Part Time Farming—Partial Unemployment, Hayes Elder
Washington Law Review
"We... hold that a person is not automatically ineligible for unemployment compensation simply because he engages in some remunerative activity of a personal or self-directed nature. Respondent... was unemployed within the meaning of RCW 50.04.310."' In these words the Washington Supreme Court permitted the recovery of unemployment compensation, under our statute, by a claimant who, though temporarily unemployed, assisted in the operation of his dairy farm.
Labor Law—Labor Disputes—Federal Pre-Emption Of Jurisdiction, Harold D. Johnson
Labor Law—Labor Disputes—Federal Pre-Emption Of Jurisdiction, Harold D. Johnson
Washington Law Review
The doctrine of federal pre-emption of jurisdiction over labor disputes was given a significant application by the Washington Supreme Court in 1961. In Freeman v. Retail Clerks Union, Local No. 1207, the court held that since the "controversy is within the 'arguably subject' rule of San Diego Bldg. Trades Council v. Garmon ..." the state courts lacked jurisdiction to grant an injunction against peaceful picketing.
Rights And Remedies Of Union Members; Federal Law Or State Law?, Joyce M. Thomas
Rights And Remedies Of Union Members; Federal Law Or State Law?, Joyce M. Thomas
Washington Law Review
Since the passage of the labor reform legislation of 1959, a member of a labor organization engaged in an industry affecting commerce has certain federally-recognized rights in addition to his rights under state law. In many instances he may have a choice between a state and a federal forum when he seeks a remedy against his union. In this Comment, the federal rights and remedies and the existing Washington law will be examined in broad summary form1 in order to evaluate the factors influencing the choice of forum.

The Curtis Doctrine: The Rights Of A Minority Union To Picket, John C. Hoover
The Curtis Doctrine: The Rights Of A Minority Union To Picket, John C. Hoover
Washington Law Review
In Curtis Bros., Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) first enunciated the rule that picketing for recognition by a union representing a minority of the employees was an unfair labor practice because it violated section 8(b) (1) (A) of the National Labor Relations Act. The doctrine has never had the full support of all Board members. Moreover the initial reaction of the reviewing courts to this ruling has been unfavorable. The Curtis doctrine has been entirely rejected by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, upon review of the Board's decision of the case, and partially rejected by one …

Addendum: Taft-Hartley And State Power To Regulate Labor Relations, Donald H. Wollett
Addendum: Taft-Hartley And State Power To Regulate Labor Relations, Donald H. Wollett
Washington Law Review
The article on this subject which appeared in the February, 1955 issue of the Washington Law Review' made reference to three cases which were then pending before the Supreme Court of the United States. Since that time the Court has handed down these decisions. Ordinarily this would not justify additional comment, for one of the risks in writing any article in such a dynamic field is that what appears to be current today may be rendered obsolete or incomplete tomorrow. However, since the subject matter is of continuing and developing importance to all lawyers interested in labor law, and since …

Taft-Hartley And State Power To Regulate Labor Unions, Donald H. Wollett
Washington Law Review
While the United States Supreme Court has in recent years held that the states have wide powers under the Fourteenth Amendment to regulate labor relations, it has during the same period circumscribed state authority over matters falling within the purview of Title I of Taft-Hartley viz., the National Labor Relations Act.

Labor—Picketing—When Enjoinable, Robert S. Mucklestone
Labor—Picketing—When Enjoinable, Robert S. Mucklestone
Washington Law Review
At a previous trial P was granted an injunction against picketing by D union after it was found that a labor dispute existed but that one of the objectives of the union was unlawful. The decree was affirmed in Ostroff v. Laundry & Dye Works Local 566, 37 Wn. 2d 595, 225 P. 2d 419 (1950). The basis for the finding of a labor dispute was in the existence of an employer-employee relationship between P and one member of D union. The illegal objective was that P sign a contract with D that he employ only union members in his …
Union Membership: Privilege Or Right?, Keith M. Callow
Union Membership: Privilege Or Right?, Keith M. Callow
Washington Law Review
The rapid growth of the labor union movement in the past sixty years has created many new, unique and complex problems. The application of old concepts and theories to these problems often has resulted in illogical and inequitable answers. In certain branches of labor law the courts have been slow in providing workable rules due to their adherence, not only to the old concepts, but also to—as if they applied to the present situation—the reasoning behind the old concepts. Some problems are being misread. Union membership must come to be recognized as a right and not a mere privilege. The …
Another Look At Picketing In Washington, Donald H. Wollett
Another Look At Picketing In Washington, Donald H. Wollett
Washington Law Review
The purpose of this comment is threefold: (1) to reformulate the Washington rules in re peaceful picketing in light of Ostroff v. Laundry and Dye Works Drivers' Local No. 566; (2) to suggest, using the metaphor employed by Judge Hamley in his dissenting opinion, that the rule of the Ostroff case embarks the court on a voyage into uncharted seas; and (3) to suggest further the wisdom of the court's returning to port and recharting a course over better marked and more frequently traveled waters.

Collective Bargaining, Public Policy, And The National Labor Relations Act Of 1947, Donald H. Wollett
Collective Bargaining, Public Policy, And The National Labor Relations Act Of 1947, Donald H. Wollett
Washington Law Review
The underlying thesis of this critique is the notion that we are irrevocably committed to a federal labor policy of encouraging the establishment and maintenance of collective bargaining relationships. The economic wisdom of collective bargaining as a policy is somewhat beyond the scope of this discussion, yet some observations seem appropriate.
Jurisdictional Disputes, Donald R. Colvin
Jurisdictional Disputes, Donald R. Colvin
Washington Law Review
To understand better the tremendous scope of this labyrinthical situation, the following hypothetical, but not usual case is posed: The employees of A are members of B union. They are satisfied with their hours, working conditions, and wages and there is no allegation of any unfair labor practices upon the part of A. C, a rival union, enters the field, contending that the employees should affiliate with it, and, in order to prosecute its point, either pickets A or instigates a boycott. If A's employees were to accede to C's demands, it is highly probable that B would take resort …

Union Security In War-Time [Part 1], Lucile Lomen
Washington Law Review
No appraisal of the present-day labor situation can be complete without a discussion of union security, which is one of the most significant trends in modem labor relations. The concept was formulated before the war, but it owes its rapid development to the need for union protection resulting from present abnormal conditions and its immediate purpose is to preserve union morale. Even when considering post-war economic and social policies, this device is important as a basis for determining the position of unions in that era. If union security is widely employed in post-war labor contracts, the device will give unions …
Wage Stabilization, Harold A. Seering
Wage Stabilization, Harold A. Seering
Washington Law Review
In the course of this discussion I do not feel it incumbent upon me to argue the case of wage stabilization. It is one of the facts of our war-time economy and whether we agree with its basic philosophy or not we must live with it. As I see it, the chief function of this discussion is to highlight the wage stabilization program so that your task as practicing attorneys who are frequently faced with wage stabilization problems will be made easier. In the measure which I can accomplish that result our task on the Twelfth Regional Board is also …
Freezing Of Labor In Wartime, James Gay
Freezing Of Labor In Wartime, James Gay
Washington Law Review
Regardless of the institutional or political structure of the countries engaged in modem warfare, competition for manpower among the armed forces, agriculture and industries creates labor shortage problems which, of necessity, must be solved by similar methods as long as the total amount of human resources is limited. A cursory glance at the wartime labor legislation of Great Britain, Canada, the U.S.S.R., and Germany shows that the means of coping with the steadily increasing labor shortage are on the whole similar in all four countries. Recent developments in the field of manpower allocation and wage freezing in the United States, …

Labor Activities And Anti-Monopoly Legislation, Robert A. Purdue
Labor Activities And Anti-Monopoly Legislation, Robert A. Purdue
Washington Law Review
The uproar of the ancient market place was the symbol of competition until contemporary times. Each purchase or barter was a thing of its own; each buyer was to be treated according to "what this part of the traffic will bear"; each seller was to be heckled until the price would be cut no lower. Although "survival of the fittest" was the keyword, by and large the majority survived. Contrary to popular opinion, however, history has numerous examples of ancient and semi-modern attempts to control some of the unwanted effects of the competitive system. Furthermore, while early civilizations may have …

The Collective Bargaining Agreement And Its Legal Effects [Part 1], Nona B. Fumerton
Washington Law Review
The significance of the collective labor agreement is naturally of importance to employers and their workers, but the public as a whole has an equally vital interest in the matter. The strike and its picket line, the lockout and the blacklist all create economic waste ultimately borne by the public. The concurrent disruption of industrial life and the imminence of violence and bloodshed suggest the value of industrial peace to the community, ind this is particularly true in wartime, when the utmost possible elimination of interruptions in production becomes a matter of urgent iational concern. The collective agreement, representing the …
