Sex Discrimination In Employment: The Nova Scotia Human Rights Act, Elizabeth Shilton Lennon

Dalhousie Law Journal

Nova Scotia enacted human rights legislation in 1963,2 but it was not until 1972 that the Act was amended to include sex as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination. 3 Since 1957 women in Nova Scotia had had equal pay protection, 4 but this brought about no noticeable improvement in the status of women in the labour force. Some commentators have suggested that equal pay laws in fact worsened that status by giving employers economic incentives to maintain and consolidate low-paying all-female job ghettoes to avoid the effects of the legislation. 5 Equal pay legislation could have no application …

Recent Developments In Labour Law In Nova Scotia, Brian G. Hansen, John Macpherson, Larry Steinberg

Dalhousie Law Journal

The past two years have been a fruitful time for those in Nova Scotia interested in labour law. During this period, the Supreme Court of Canada has handed down several decisions of relevance in this province, while the Nova Scotia Supreme Court itself has had cause to decide issues of considerable significance. Even more important, the number of written decisions published by the Nova Scotia Labour Relations Board has increased somewhat, with the result that some detail as to the day to day practice of the Board and its interpretation of the Act is now available. This comment will review …

Appropriate Bargaining Units And The Employer's Familial Relations, James E. Dorsey

Dalhousie Law Journal

The policy of Canadian labour relations legislation encourages employees who have a mutuality of employment interests to bargain with their employer through a trade union, selected by them to act as their exclusive agent. To encourage orderly bargaining, labour relations boards, when determining that a trade union has been chosen by a majority of employees, group an employer's employees into units that it considers to be appropriate for bargaining. 1 There are, however, employees who are caught between a policy favouring group bargaining and the rationale that demands exclusion from the group of managerial and confidential employees. These employees are …

Unemployment Compensation—Spouse's Relocation Due To Employment Is A Compelling Person Reason Constituting Good Cause For Voluntary Termination—Ayers V. Department Of Employment Security, 85 Wn. 2d 550, 536 P.2d 610 (1975), Pamela A. Okano

Washington Law Review

This note will analyze the impact of Ayers upon the traditional dual administrative test of "no alternative" and "preservation of employment" used to determine whether, under the particular facts and circumstances, "compelling personal reasons"' meeting the statutory requirement of good cause for voluntary termination of employment exist. Although the Washington court did not discuss this test, the Ayers decision should not be construed as a rejection of its continued vitality. In addition, this note will analyze the factors which should be considered when applying the "no alternative" and "preservation of employment" standards to spouse relocation situations in the wake of …

Labor Law—Arbitration And Award—Limits To Arbitral Authority And A Standard Of Review For Arbitral Awards Against Successor Employers—United Steelworkers V. United States Gypsum Co., 492 F.2d 714 (5th Cir.), Cert. Denied 419 U.S. 998 (1974), Eric Richter

Washington Law Review

In United Steelworkers v. United States Gypsum Co. the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reviewed an arbitral award against a successor employer. In so doing, the court applied the doctrine which traditionally has governed arbitration awards against parties who have contracted to arbitrate. This note will examine the arbitral process in Gypsum against the background of the successor's duty to arbitrate and the standards evolved to govern this arbitration process. It concludes that the special circumstances under which the successor employer faces arbitration require imposition of cognizable limits on the authority of the arbitrator, subject to the review …

Labor Law - Norris-Laguardia Act - Sympathy Strikes - Injunctions, George C. Werner

Duquesne Law Review

The Supreme Court of the United States has held that the Norris-LaGuardia Act prohibits a federal district court from enjoining a sympathy strike, notwithstanding arbitration provisions and an express no-strike clause in the collective bargaining agreement, since the strike is not over a grievance which the parties agreed to submit to arbitration.

Preferences In Public Employment, Robert Vaughn

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

INTRODUCTION: Open and competitive examination is generally perceived as the surest method of ensuring that public employees are selected on the basis of their merit and ability. Since the Pendleton Act of 1883, legislation has continually attempted to implement the view that efficient and impartial public sector employment requires that qualifications be demonstrated in an objective examination. But blacks, women and other minorities have been systematically excluded from public employment. This exclusion has resulted not only from bias in the examination, but also from other less visible aspects of the appointment process which supplant strict merit selection.
