Judicial Valour And The Warren Court's Labor Decisions, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 1969

Judicial Valour And The Warren Court's Labor Decisions, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Book Chapters

Lawyers who practice regularly before the Supreme Court are likely to prepare their arguments with a specific Justice in mind. The choice does not necessarily tum on who might be the swing vote in a given case. Often it is just a matter of which Justice can be relied upon, because of his particular interests and his insight, to search out the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing positions, and to see that all the hard questions are asked. In a labor case during the early years of the Warren Court, that would usually have meant Justice Frankfurter. Later on, …

Review Of Labor And The Legal Process, By H. H. Wellington, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 1969

Review Of Labor And The Legal Process, By H. H. Wellington, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Reviews

If there is a more acute intellect than that of Harry Wellington at work today in labor law, I am unaware of it. This makes his new book all the more troubling, for it reveals the limitations, or perhaps I should even say the deficiencies, of a highly rational approach to the regulation of industrial relations. Professor Wellington has two stated objectives (he disclaims any attempt at a comprehensive text on labor law). First, he wishes to appraise "the role of the legal process in moving collective bargaining to its present position at the center of national labor policy." Second, …

Labor Law--Remedies--An Assessment Of The Proposed "Make-Whole" Remedy In Refusal-To-Bargain Cases, Michigan Law Review Dec 1968

Labor Law--Remedies--An Assessment Of The Proposed "Make-Whole" Remedy In Refusal-To-Bargain Cases, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The conventional National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) remedy against an employer who has violated section 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by refusing to bargain with a properly certified union is a cease-and-desist order coupled with a directive ordering the employer to bargain with the union at the union's request. However, the interval between an employer's initial refusal to bargain and the final entry of a court of appeals' decree enforcing the NLRB's order to bargain has often been of such long duration that unions have complained that the conventional remedy is relatively meaningless and ineffective. The unions' …


Labor Law--Unions--The National Labor Relations Board's Role In Examining The Use Of Union Dues Collected Pursuant To A Union Security Agreement, Michigan Law Review Nov 1968

Labor Law--Unions--The National Labor Relations Board's Role In Examining The Use Of Union Dues Collected Pursuant To A Union Security Agreement, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Under section 8(a)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), a majority union and an employer are permitted to enter into a so-called "union security agreement," which requires all employees in the bargaining unit to tender to the union as a condition of continued employment "the periodic dues and the initiation fees uniformly required" by the union of its members. As long as an employee-whether or not he is a member of the union-is willing to pay the proper initiation fees and the "periodic dues.., uniformly required," the union commits an unfair labor practice if it threatens to request or …


The Nlrb And Arbitration: Is The Board's Expanding Jurisdiction Justified?, Richard I. Bloch Apr 1968

The Nlrb And Arbitration: Is The Board's Expanding Jurisdiction Justified?, Richard I. Bloch

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article will view the functions of the arbitrator and the Labor Board, as well as the arguments for their respective jurisdictions. It will examine the history of the subject from Lincoln Mills through the most recent words on the subject. With a view of the history of the problem and an attempt to examine realistic solutions as well as pure legal logic, the attempt will be to demonstrate the glaring need today for more specifically enunciated standards on the part of the Board. The author shall propose certain aspects of the collective bargaining situation to which the Board must …


Labor Law--The Judicial Role In The Enforcement Of The "Excelsior Rule", Michigan Law Review Apr 1968

Labor Law--The Judicial Role In The Enforcement Of The "Excelsior Rule", Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The NLRB has sought such judicial assistance in almost a dozen cases, and in most of these the courts have assumed an active role in the enforcement of the Excelsior rule. However, a few courts have not been receptive to such enforcement, and the NLRB itself has experienced some difficulty in settling upon the proper grounds for requesting judicial aid. To date, the NLRB has advanced two theories as bases for court enforcement of the requirement that employers produce Excelsior lists: (I) it has sought-under section 1337 of the Judicial Code-to invoke the general jurisdiction of federal district courts to …

A Touchstone For Labor Board Remedies, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 1968

A Touchstone For Labor Board Remedies, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

Fashion dictates what lawyers argue about, and law professors write about, more than we may care to admit. In labor law, especially, the styles change with a rapidity that would impress a Paris couturier. During the past decade the spotlight has moved from union democracy to labor contract enforcement to the union organizing campaign. Today the "in" topic is National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) remedies. Yet if any subject deserves immunity from the vagaries of fashion, this is the one; for all rights acquire substance only insofar as they are backed by effective remedies. Coke said it long ago: "[W]ant …


The Labor Court Idea, R. W. Fleming Jun 1967

The Labor Court Idea, R. W. Fleming

Michigan Law Review

When the War Labor Board first began to exert pressure on companies and unions to adopt grievance arbitration clauses during World War II, there was a considerable hesitance on both sides. Both groups worried that while third party decision making might momentarily improve productive efficiency, it would do so at the price of a long-run loss in institutional integrity and autonomy, and peace at any price held little fascination for either side. Nevertheless, grievance arbitration was accepted and gradually became the normal mechanism for resolving contractual disputes in the United States.


Establishment Of Bargaining Rights Without An Nlrb Election, Howard Lesnick Mar 1967

Establishment Of Bargaining Rights Without An Nlrb Election, Howard Lesnick

Michigan Law Review

Those who have become accustomed to keep one ear cocked for the five-part harmony relentlessly ground out by the mimeograph machines at NLRB headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue-those whom one may call professional Board-watchers-have doubtless noticed how fashions come and go in the subjects of NLRB litigation. It is as if the interest of litigants as easily wanes as does that of the reader of opinions, for there is a fairly regular succession of themes, each to be developed for a time until, as though by common consent, attention swings toward a different problem entirely. The wave of the present, I …

The Labor Relations Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan held its second program of the current year, from May 27 through May 30, 1967 on Mackinaw Island, on a variety of subject matters with excellent presentations by the resource people conducting each of the various symposiums. Those who were unable to be present in this joint venture of pleasure and legal presentations will be able to at least vicariously "gather in the sheaves" of the legal wisdom disseminated during the program by the report contained herein. For those who were fortunate enough to attend plus those who didn't, …


Labor Law-State Court Jurisdiction Over Employee's Damage Action Against Union For Failure To Process Fully Grievance Is Not Pre-Empted By The Nlrb-Sipes V. Vaca, Michigan Law Review Jan 1966

Labor Law-State Court Jurisdiction Over Employee's Damage Action Against Union For Failure To Process Fully Grievance Is Not Pre-Empted By The Nlrb-Sipes V. Vaca, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, discharged by his employer on the ground that he was no longer physically able to work, enlisted the aid of his union to contest the dismissal. Under the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement between the union and the employer, the union was to seek redress of employee complaints by means of a five step grievance procedure, with arbitration as the final step. The union processed plaintiff's grievance without success through the first four steps of the procedure, but refused to take the issue to the arbitral level. Plaintiff brought suit against the union in a Missouri county circuit …


Labor Law--Nlrb Refuses To Apply Related Work Doctrine To Construction Site Picketing--Building And Construction Trades Council (Markwell & Hartz), Michigan Law Review Jan 1966

Labor Law--Nlrb Refuses To Apply Related Work Doctrine To Construction Site Picketing--Building And Construction Trades Council (Markwell & Hartz), Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The New Orleans Building and Construction Trades Council, an association of craft unions, was engaged in a labor dispute with Markwell & Hartz, the general contractor on a construction project. In support of its dispute with the general contractor (primary employer), the Council picketed all gates leading to the job site, although some gates had been specifically reserved for the exclusive use of those subcontractors (secondary employers) with whom the union had no dispute. Employees of the subcontractors refused to cross the picket line to perform work pursuant to their employers' contracts with the general contractor. Markwell & Hartz filed …


Unfair Representation As An Unfair Labor Practice, Michigan Law Review Apr 1965

Unfair Representation As An Unfair Labor Practice, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In its 1962 Miranda Fuel Co. decision, the National Labor Relations Board formulated a novel doctrine whereby it acquired jurisdiction over unfair representation complaints filed by union members in good standing on the theory that a union which fails to represent all of its members fairly commits unfair labor practices in violation of sections 8(b)(1)(A) and 8(b)(2) of the National Labor Relations Act. Formerly, unfair representation complaints filed by union members had been cognizable only by the courts, since unfair representation was not considered an unfair labor practice and, consequently, was outside the jurisdiction of the NLRB.

Nlrb - Fepc?, Jeffrey M. Albert Jun 1963

Nlrb - Fepc?, Jeffrey M. Albert

Vanderbilt Law Review

One potential agency in the attack on racial discrimination in employment is the National Labor Relations Board. The President has indicated that substantial reliance will be placed on that agency for the vindication of Negro rights in areas of employment not covered by Executive Order 10925. Less than a year. ago the board's approach in this area was cautious and its proper role ill-defined and speculative.' Within the past year, however, the NLRB has moved rapidly by sharpening four, possibly five, anti-bias remedies. Three have roots in early NLRB decisions. The fourth is new. The fifth, resurrection of which has …


Unfair Labor Practices, Individual Rights And Section 301, Irving Kovarsky Jun 1963

Unfair Labor Practices, Individual Rights And Section 301, Irving Kovarsky

Vanderbilt Law Review

On December 10, 1962, the United States Supreme Court, in Smith v. Evening News Ass'n, established several principles of law which may rival the well-known decision of Textile Workers Union v. Lincoln Mills in importance. The purpose of this comment is to examine the far-reaching implications of Evening News and related Supreme Court decisions.


The Worker And Three Phases Of Unionism: Administrative And Judicial Control Of The Worker-Union Relationship, Alfred W. Blumrosen Jun 1963

The Worker And Three Phases Of Unionism: Administrative And Judicial Control Of The Worker-Union Relationship, Alfred W. Blumrosen

Michigan Law Review

This article will examine the extent to which, and the methods by which, individual rights are protected in each of these three phases of union activity. We will see that the employee is well protected in his right to oppose political action of the union and has considerable legal protection for his rights to engage in internal union political struggles, but the employee has received little protection for his economic interests in collective bargaining between unions and employers. A recent decision by the NLRB, which will be examined in some detail, suggests that additional protection for individual economic rights in …


Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--Scope Of Arguable Nlrb Jurisdiction, Martin B. Dickinson Jr., S.Ed. Mar 1963

Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--Scope Of Arguable Nlrb Jurisdiction, Martin B. Dickinson Jr., S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Picketing by petitioner interrupted the unloading of respondent's cargo vessels. A state court granted respondent's request for a permanent injunction against further picketing, despite petitioner's contention that, since it was a "labor organization" within the meaning of section S(b) of the Labor Management Relations Act and respondent had alleged an unfair labor practice, the National Labor Relations Board had exclusive jurisdiction of the dispute. The Supreme Court of Minnesota affirmed the granting of injunctive relief. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed, one Justice dissenting. Since an unfair labor practice has been alleged and petitioner is …

Labor Law--Injunctions--Order Restraining Election Aboard "Flag-Of-Convenience" Vessel, Lee D. Powar Jun 1962

Labor Law--Injunctions--Order Restraining Election Aboard "Flag-Of-Convenience" Vessel, Lee D. Powar

Michigan Law Review

Upon petition of the National Maritime Union, the National Labor Relations Board directed a representation election among all unlicensed foreign seamen employed by Empresa Hondurena de Vapores, S.A., aboard a Honduran-registered ship. Empresa, a Honduran corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the United Fruit Company, sought injunctive relief in a federal district court. The petition alleged that the Board's order violated treaty obligations, the Constitution of the United States and principles of international law. The Regional Director of the NLRB moved to dismiss, asserting that the district court lacked jurisdiction to enjoin such an order and that the Board's …


Administrative Procedure-Enforcement Of Nlrb Orders-Power Of Cour Of Appeals To Modify Scope Of Consent Order, Lee D. Powar May 1962

Administrative Procedure-Enforcement Of Nlrb Orders-Power Of Cour Of Appeals To Modify Scope Of Consent Order, Lee D. Powar

Michigan Law Review

A complaint issued by the National Labor Relations Board charged respondents, an employer and two labor unions, with illegally maintaining a closed or preferential shop. Following the issuance of the complaint, a settlement agreement was reached in which respondents stipulated to waive a hearing and all other proceedings to which they might be entitled under the National Labor Relations Act or under rules and regulations of the Board. Respondents also consented to the entry of a broad cease-and-desist order and a subsequent decree in which they were ordered to refrain from unlawful preferential hiring arrangements with each other, or with …


The N.L.R.B.'S Dues Reimbursement Remedy In Perspective, Arthur M. Schiller Mar 1961

The N.L.R.B.'S Dues Reimbursement Remedy In Perspective, Arthur M. Schiller

Vanderbilt Law Review

Where employees have been coerced to pay union dues, initiation fees, assessments, permit fees, referral fees, "dobies" and the like,an inequitable situation exists requiring that restitution be made by the parties whom the National Labor Relations Board determines to be legally responsible for having required that the payments be made. In an effort to restore the status quo in the particular situation and to deter others from entering into contracts and practices, which, in general, encourage membership in a labor organization,the Board has ordered a disgorgement remedy. An enunciation of the Board's power to fashion this remedial order was issued …


No-Strike Clauses In The Federal Courts, Frank H. Stewart Mar 1961

No-Strike Clauses In The Federal Courts, Frank H. Stewart

Michigan Law Review

One consideration will support several promises. A promisor may extract more than one promise in return for his single undertaking to do - or not to do. It depends upon his bargaining power. His single undertaking may be so valuable that several promises are necessary to induce him to act, or not to act. He is privileged to hold out for the best deal. The law does not examine his motives or reduce his demands. And from this arises the common- law principle that one consideration may support several promises.
