Minimum Wages, Inequality, And Globalization, T. H. Gindling, Katherine Terrell Jan 2004

Minimum Wages, Inequality, And Globalization, T. H. Gindling, Katherine Terrell

Michigan Journal of International Law

The authors argue in this paper that the institution of the minimum wage is also an important factor in explaining changes in earnings inequality in Costa Rica, and that it can be an important factor in many developing countries. This study is a departure from the literature on institutions and development, which tends to analyze the impact of a more generally defined set of institutions using data on a number of countries. In this paper the authors analyze detailed changes in one institution in one country, using panel data over time. They argue that it is important to understand how …

Isolated And Politicized: The Nlrb's Uncertain Future The National Labor Relations Board In Comparative Context: Introduction, James J. Brudney Jan 2004

Isolated And Politicized: The Nlrb's Uncertain Future The National Labor Relations Board In Comparative Context: Introduction, James J. Brudney

Faculty Scholarship

The National Labor Relations Board has managed to remain unusually detached or isolated in its decision-making even as it has come to operate in an openly partisan manner. There is a certain paradoxical quality to the coexistence of these two descriptors for Board conduct: isolation in agency performance ordinarily suggests a neutral separation from the political process whereas politicization implies a close connection to the elected branches. The explanation for this odd pairing involves a number of factors: some reflect political realities beyond the agency's ability to control, others relate to the structure of the NLRA, and still others are …


"Don't Ask, Don't Tell": A Qualified Defense, Eugene R. Milhizer Jan 2004

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell": A Qualified Defense, Eugene R. Milhizer

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Upon the 10th Anniversary of the so-called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, I was asked to reflect upon the policy by Hofstra University. This article presents my remarks at a symposium dedicagted to this topic. The article first reviews in detail the origins of the policy. It then explores the moral debate implicated by the policy, including the traditional arguments against homosexuality with special attention to the natural law, and latitudinarian arguments in favor of homosexuality or opposed to discrimination based on the basis of homosexuality. The article next surveys contemporary attitudes about homosexuality, focusing on military service by homosexuals. …

Liberty, Diversity, Academic Freedom, And Survival: Preferential Hiring Among Religiously-Affliated Institutions Of Higher Education, Jamie Darin Prenkert Jan 2004

Liberty, Diversity, Academic Freedom, And Survival: Preferential Hiring Among Religiously-Affliated Institutions Of Higher Education, Jamie Darin Prenkert

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article discusses the exemptions given to religious educational institutions from the usual Title VII protections afforded employees. The author supports the use of such exemptions when they promote diversity and protecting the fundamental foundation of the institution itself, but warns that there is a point where the exemptions must not be used even when they are within the power of the institution to invoke. Such inappropriate instances include promoting faculty or granting tenure to faculty members who are not of the religious persuasion of the institution, or hiring the best and brightest faculty over the professor who simply agrees …


Same-Sex Marriage: The Evolving Landscape For Employee Benefits, Neal S. Schelberg, Carri L. Mitnick Jan 2004

Same-Sex Marriage: The Evolving Landscape For Employee Benefits, Neal S. Schelberg, Carri L. Mitnick

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article deals with the aftermath of the Goodridge decision in terms of employment benefits for partners in a same-sex marriage, particularly in the interstate context. Because marriages in one state are generally recognized in all other states, the article focuses on how employers must treat a Massachusetts same-sex marriage in light of the Defense of Marriage Act and its prohibition of same-sex marriage for the purpose of federal employment benefits.


The Continuing Relevance Of Race-Concious Remedies And Prgrams In Integrating The Nation's Workforce, Michael L. Foreman, Kristin M. Dadey, Audrey J. Wiggins Jan 2004

The Continuing Relevance Of Race-Concious Remedies And Prgrams In Integrating The Nation's Workforce, Michael L. Foreman, Kristin M. Dadey, Audrey J. Wiggins

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The authors argue that achieving diversity should be one of the main legitimate justifications for affirmative action programs, in addition to the traditionally cited "remedy for past discrimination" justification. The authors describe the legal framework for affirmative action beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They discuss the various types of affirmative action plans - public and private, court ordered and voluntary. The article concludes with a discussion of Department of Justice and EEOC policies towards affirmative action, arguing that the federal government should be the biggest proponent of such programs.


Facially Neutral No-Rehires Rules And The Americans With Disabilities Act, Christine Neylon O'Brien Jan 2004

Facially Neutral No-Rehires Rules And The Americans With Disabilities Act, Christine Neylon O'Brien

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article deals with the issue of whether alcoholism should qualify as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under this theoretical category, an employee or potential employee would have a cause of action once he shows his disability no longer interferes with his ability to perform his job. One example of a prospective plaintiff is a recovering alcoholic. The author addresses the difference between a disparate impact claim and a disparate treatment claim and asserts what employers should do to ensure they do not run afoul of the ADA.

Overcoming Resistance To Diversity In The Executive Suite: Grease, Grit, And The Corporate Tournament, Donald C. Langevoort Jan 2004

Overcoming Resistance To Diversity In The Executive Suite: Grease, Grit, And The Corporate Tournament, Donald C. Langevoort

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Once we open the corporate governance/human resources nexus to deeper inquiry, mutual scholarly interest in diversity and discrimination follows naturally. Firms have complex motives to take nondiscrimination and the promotion of diversity seriously. First, at least certain forms of discrimination are both unlawful and socially illegitimate and hence present threats of potential liability and injury to reputation. Second, human resources demands are such that attracting and motivating a diverse workforce is a competitive imperative. At the same time, however, offsetting economic forces may exist that favor subtle forms of discrimination and hostility to diversity, even if intentional and overt racial …

Whistling In The Dark? Corporate Fraud, Whistleblowers, And The Implications Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act For Employment Law, Miriam A. Cherry

Faculty Publications

In addition, this Article contributes to the debate over the general effectiveness of the .Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a topic of contention among both academics and press commentators.

The Family And Medical Leave Act Of 1993: Ten Years Of Experience: Introduction, Pauline Kim Jan 2004

The Family And Medical Leave Act Of 1993: Ten Years Of Experience: Introduction, Pauline Kim

Scholarship@WashULaw

On February 5, 1993, in a Rose Garden ceremony, President Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) into law, declaring that workers “will no longer need to choose between the job they need and the family they love.”1 The signing ceremony was significant for a number of reasons. It marked an early legislative victory for a new administration, signaling its commitment to ending gridlock in Washington. It also symbolized changing priorities: earlier versions of the legislation had twice been enacted by Congress and then vetoed by President George H.W. Bush. With its focus on the needs of …


Arbitration And Litigation Of Employment Claims: An Empirical Comparison, Theodore Eisenberg, Elizabeth Hill Jan 2004

Arbitration And Litigation Of Employment Claims: An Empirical Comparison, Theodore Eisenberg, Elizabeth Hill

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The authors conducted empirical research comparing court case and arbitrated outcomes for employment disputes. In cases not involving civil rights claims, they found little evidence that arbitrated outcomes materially differed from trial outcomes where the claimant was a higher-paid employee. Moreover, they found no statistically significant differences between employee win rates or in the median or mean awards in arbitration and litigation. They also reported evidence indicating that arbitrated disputes conclude more quickly than litigated disputes.
