Employee Stock Ownership Plans, Voting Rights, And Plant Closings, Jonathan Barry Forman
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
After examining the structure and tax consequences of ESOPs, this note will argue that ESOPs should guarantee employees full voting rights over securities transferred to them under such plans. This note will also propose that ESOPs can be used in employee takeovers of corporations as part of a plan to help prevent plant closings.
Presidential Pensions And Impeachment: A Proposal For Reform, Patrick E. Mears
Presidential Pensions And Impeachment: A Proposal For Reform, Patrick E. Mears
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The Former Presidents Act grants annual monetary and clerical allowances and free office space to "former Presidents." Under the Act a President is ineligible to receive any retirement benefits if he or she is removed from office by impeachment and conviction in the Congress of the United States. However, a President facing imminent impeachment can retain the benefits by resigning before the impeachment process culminates in his removal from office. Constitutional considerations indicate that the benefits conferred by the Act could not be revoked or reduced by special congressional legislation upon resignation; such action could be challenged as a bill …
Labor Law--Collective Bargaining--The Retirement Benefits Of Retired Employees Are A Mandatory Subject Of Bargaining Because Retirees Are "Employees" Under The Nlra And Because Active Employees Have An Interest In Such Benefits--Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, Chemical Division, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Recent Development will examine the substance and implications of the latter aspect of Pittsburgh Plate Glass, although it is only dictum in the case. The third ground of the Board's conclusion regarding retirement benefits was really only a general reiteration of the first two. It is therefore apparent that that ground is dependent upon the validity of either or both of the other two bases of the Board's conclusion.
Proposed Amendments To The Welfare And Pension Plans Disclosure Act, Stephen E. Dawson
Proposed Amendments To The Welfare And Pension Plans Disclosure Act, Stephen E. Dawson
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Proposals to regulate private pension and deferred profit-sharing plans are by no means new to Congress. With the rapid growth in size, number and complexity of such plans in the late 1940's and early 1950's, Congress began to give increasingly close attention to their defects and, particularly, to their mismanagement. The first congressional attempt to reduce the instances of private pension plan mismanagement occurred in 1958 when Congress enacted the Welfare and Pension Plans Disclosure Act. The Act was amended once in 1962, and further proposed amendments are presently before the Congress. This note will examine two of the proposed …
The Report Of The President's Cabinet Committee On Private Pension Plan Regulation: An Appraisal, Thomas B. Ridgley
The Report Of The President's Cabinet Committee On Private Pension Plan Regulation: An Appraisal, Thomas B. Ridgley
Michigan Law Review
The growth of private employee pension plans in the American economy is astonishing. From 1953 to the end of 1964, the accumulation of assets of private pension funds has grown from 16.9 billion dollars to 75 billion dollars, with a projected accumulation of 225 billion dollars by 1980. At present, private retirement plans cover approximately 25 million workers, which is one-half of all employees in private non-farm establishments. Moreover, unions increasingly stress both the creation of pension plans where none exist and increased benefits from current plans. Thus, during the recent United Auto Workers negotiations the union sought and received …

Labor Law - Collective Bargaining- Compulsory Retirement As Discharge "Without Cause" Under Collective Bargaining Agreement, Douglas Peck S.Ed.
Labor Law - Collective Bargaining- Compulsory Retirement As Discharge "Without Cause" Under Collective Bargaining Agreement, Douglas Peck S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff-employee was informed by the defendant, his employer, that his employment would be terminated because he had attained the age of sixty-five and it was the policy of the defendant to retire such employees. There was evidence indicating that this policy had been in practice uniformly for several years, but it was not incorporated in the collective bargaining agreement between defendant and plaintiff's union. Plaintiff sued for damages for violation of his rights under the collective agreement. Held, judgment for plaintiff. The legal and practical effect of compulsory retirement is the same as a discharge, and plaintiff's employment was …

The employer contributed monthly an amount equal to fifty percent of each member contribution and annually an amount dependent upon the ratio of profits to invested capital, up to a combined total of seventy-five percent of the members' contributions. Member contributions were kept …

Constitutional Law - Old Age Pensions - Titles Ii And Viii Of Social Security Act - Power To Spend For The General Welfare, Royal E. Thompson
Michigan Law Review
In a case decided May 24, 1937, Titles II and VIII of the Social Security Act were challenged. Title VIII lays a tax on employers, which reaches a maximum in 1949 of 3 per cent of the wages paid by the employer, and also a tax on employees measured by a similar percentage of the wages they earn, and which is withheld and paid by the employer. Neither tax applies to certain kinds of occupations: agricultural labor, domestic service, governmental service, nor to wages earned by persons over sixty-five years of age. Title II provides for payment to persons over …

Legislation - Old Age Pensions
Michigan Law Review
Out of our changing social theories has grown modern social legislation. The tendency is nowhere better illustrated than in the development of legislation for the care of aged persons. During the last decade great strides have been made in enacting such legislation, and the present year has seen increased activity, leading to the passage of old age pension laws in five states and to numerous other legislative accomplishments.

Constitutionality Of Teachers' Pensions Legislation, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
Articles
To arrive at a safe conclusion as to the validity of legislation. providing for teachers' pensions requires some consideration of all pension legislation.
