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 …

Significant Developments In Labor Law During The Last Half-Century, Russell A. Smith

Michigan Law Review

It is common knowledge that dramatic and almost revolutionary developments have taken place in labor law since the turn of the century. Indeed, "labor law" has only during this period achieved the distinction of a recognized branch of the law. Concurrently, trade unions have experienced an amazing growth, as well as changes in basic structure, and it may fairly be stated that the enlargement of the pertinent body of law has both stimulated and been influenced by the augmentation of union power. This article is intended as a survey of significant developments in the law, not as a treatment of …

Effect Of Verdict For Employee In Joint Action Against Employer And Employee, Cubbege Snow Jr.

Mercer Law Review

The recent decision in the case of Moffett v. McCurry, decided by a full bench of the Court of Appeals of Georgia, brings to mind the question presented by this comment. That is, what is the effect of a verdict in favor of the employee in a joint action against the employer and employee?

In considering this problem, there are actually two different answers, both of which are followed by a majority of the jurisdictions in the United States. And these two solutions are not inconsistent, but are rather in harmony, one applying under one situation of facts and …

Migratory Labor--Some Legal, Economic And Social Aspects, William S. Tyson

Mercer Law Review

For the past year, the farmers of our country have been called upon to produce the largest crops in our history. As one official of the United States Department of Agriculture has stated, "This is really a remarkable goal in view of the fact that our farm production in nine out of the last twelve years has either set a new record for production or has equalled the record then existing." Agricultural production is as essential in our present mobilization effort as it was in World War II. It is, therefore, imperative that this nation increase its supplies of agricultural …

Labor Law-Jurisdiction Of Nlrb Under Self-Imposed Limitations, Bernard L. Goodman S.Ed., Robert S. Griggs S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Under the original National Labor Relations Act of 1935 and that act as it stands amended by Title I of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947, Congress has conferred upon the National Labor Relations Board regulatory authority in certain areas of industrial relations, the jurisdictional extent of which is conterminous with the power of the federal government under the commerce clause of the Constitution. At an early date, however, the Board determined that ''budgetary limitations as well as the need to avoid diffusion of its time and energy ... [justified] it in not exerting its jurisdictional authority to the legal …

Promissory Estoppel: Principle From Precedents: Ii, Benjamin F. Boye

Michigan Law Review

It is ancient learning that a person is free to refuse to accept an appointment as agent but that "acceptance must be followed by execution or prompt resignation." Though such was the law of the Romans of Justinian's time, it has taken our courts many years to reach the same conclusion. Indeed, it was not until the Restatement of Agency was published in 1933 that the basis of liability of one who gratuitously undertook to act as agent for another was expressed in approximately the same form.

Job-Seeking Aggression, The Nlra, And The Free Market, Sylvester Petro

Michigan Law Review

Two principles are at war in modem labor relations. One, the principle of free choice of employee representation, underlies all modem labor relations legislation. The other, the principle of absolute proprietary rights in certain work, manifests itself in the traditional jurisdictional dispute but occurs in a broader context as well. The labor relations principle, an attempt to order relations between employers and employees on a civilized basis, requires collective bargaining between employers and the representatives of their employees and further declares that the selection of representatives by employees shall be free of coercive interference by employers. Job-seeking aggression, combatting this …

Legislation-Statutes In Pari Materia-Administrative Board Rulings, Robert B. Krueger

Michigan Law Review

Lane's application for an annuity under the Railroad Retirement Act to the lower adjudicative branches of the Railroad Retirement Board was denied. Lane, by claiming that a "grievance" had been created by the railroad's insistence that he had voluntarily resigned from its service in 1933, then brought the matter before the National Railroad Adjustment Board, which found that Lane had been an "employee" of the railroad from 1905 to 1937. When Lane's case was subsequently heard before the Retirement Board, the findings of the lower adjudicative branches of the Board were affirmed and the Board held that it was not …

Union Security Under Federal Statutes; A Primer, George Maxwell

Cleveland State Law Review

Union security is a term with many ramifications, all of which stem from the basic right of a union to represent the employees of a business in their collective bargaining with the employer. A union is secure when its right to represent the employees is embodied in a contract between the union and the employer, containing a clause which assures the union a continuing right of representation. Such a contract clause protects the union from challenge by another union, from repudiation by the membership during the life of the contract and from a refusal by the employer to recognize the …

Agency To Make Warranties, Merton Ferson

Vanderbilt Law Review

What are warranties? How are they created? And, particularly, what kind of authority or employment will enable one person to make a warranty that will be binding on another person?

Let us first look at warranties broadly and note their function. When a sale is being made there is commonly a risk of some defect in the thing sold. And in connection with other kinds of transactions there is frequently a risk of loss that will occur if a certain fact exists or comes to pass. There is, for example, a risk that the horse being sold js not sound; …

Determination Of The Appropriate Unit For Collective Bargaining, Jerome Ackerman, Lawrence A. Sullivan

West Virginia Law Review

The provisions of Section 9 of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, establish a procedure for ascertaining the identity of the representatives of employees with whom an employer will be required to engage in collective bargaining. The ultimate issue of identity involves two component questions of fact: (1) What is the appropriate unit and (2) What union, if any, do a majority of employees within that unit prefer? While the latter issue is resolved through the relatively simple process of an election, the former is more complex. It requires the NLRB to appraise a wide variety of evidential materials …

Labor Law-Boycotts And Coercion Of Neutral Employers Under The Taft-Hartley Act, Robert S. Griggs S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Four decisions rendered by the Supreme Court. at the close of the 1950 term may alleviate some of the confusion inherent in section 8(b)( 4)(A) of Title I of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947. This section, whose concern is with the motive with which union activity is undertaken, rather than with the character of the activity itself, is probably the most "broadside" in the act. In essence, it purports to prohibit labor unions from engaging in or inducing strikes and concerted refusals to handle goods, "where an object thereof is ... forcing or requiring . . . any …
