The Current State Of Grievance Arbitration In The Coal Industry, Larry W. Blalock Jun 1980

The Current State Of Grievance Arbitration In The Coal Industry, Larry W. Blalock

West Virginia Law Review

The arbitration process provides for settlement of disputes through adjudication outside the normal judicial system. In many instances arbitration resolves disputes arising under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. This type of labor arbitration is referred to as rights arbitration, or more commonly, grievance arbitration. A second type of arbitration, referred to as interest arbitration, is concerned with settling the unresolved terms of the collective bargaining agreement itself. This note will focus solely on grievance arbitration. Grievance arbitration has proliferated, particularly in American industry, in the wake of the United States Supreme Court's 1960 decisions in the Steelworker's Trilogy. …

Special Student Project: Developments Under The Surface Mining Control And Reclamation Act Of 1977, William Sunday Winfrey Ii, Cheryl Lee Davis, Larry W. Blalock, Lawrence W. Hancock, Allen R. Prunty

West Virginia Law Review

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) is one of the most significant enactments ever to affect the coal mining industry. In pervasive fashion, it is intended to control virtually every environmental aspect of surface mining as well as all surface effects of underground coal mining. The responsibility for establishing a regulatory program to refine and implement the Act is vested in the United States Department of the Interior. However, as individual regulatory plans are submitted by the states and approved by the Secretary of the Interior, the Act provides for an assumption by the states of …

Black Lung Benefit Trusts As A Federal Self-Insurance Alternative, Peter M. Kelly Jun 1980

Black Lung Benefit Trusts As A Federal Self-Insurance Alternative, Peter M. Kelly

West Virginia Law Review

Since the enactment of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act1 (FCMHSA) in late 1969, occupational pneumoconiosis, "black lung disease," has been compensable under federal law. These federal black lung benefits are coordinated with state workmen's compensation or occupational disease laws to provide death or disability benefits for coal miners suffering from the disease. Black lung benefits are provided at federal cost under Part B of Title IV of the FCMHSA with respect to claims which arose before July 1, 1973 (Part B benefits)." Benefits are payable directly or indirectly by coal mine operators under Part C of Title …

Automatic Fuel Adjustment Clauses: Time For A Hearing, Marshall A. Leaffer Jan 1980

Automatic Fuel Adjustment Clauses: Time For A Hearing, Marshall A. Leaffer

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Through automatic fuel adjustment clauses, utilities in most states are permitted automatically to pass through to customers any increase in fuel costs, thereby circumventing a general rate hearing before a public utilities commission where the validity of any such rate increase could be publicly examined In this Article the author discusses the benefits and detriments of the automatic fuel adjustment clause, using the clause that existed in Ohio until quite recently as an example. He concludes that such a rate increase without a hearing can no longer be justified on the basis of uncontrollable fuel costs. Instead he advocates adoption …
