Labor Law And Workmen's Compensation -- 1955 Tennessee Survey, Paul H. Sanders, James G. Bowman Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

In Stokeley Van Camp, Inc. v. United Packinghouse Workers of America, the company and the union had entered into a collective bargaining agreement under which there were to be no strikes or lock-outs pending the use of the grievance and arbitration procedures provided in the contract. The chancellor enjoined members of the union from participating in a strike, and in such incidental activities as mass picketing, and threatening and intimidating persons seeking to enter and leave the plant. The company's bill and affidavits indicated the existence of a strike with mass picketing and threats of violence. The union did not …


Some Problems Arising Under The Workmen's Compensation Law Of Tennessee, R. Wayne Estes, Doris A. Dudney Apr 1955

Some Problems Arising Under The Workmen's Compensation Law Of Tennessee, R. Wayne Estes, Doris A. Dudney

Vanderbilt Law Review

Although there are many problems arising under the Workmen's Compensation Laws of Tennessee, it appears that here, as elsewhere, the most difficult questions are those arising out of the interpretation of the phrases "injury by accident," "arising out of," and "in the course of," employment. The present study is therefore limited to a consideration of these three particular problems, and does not purport to be a comprehensive treatment of the entire topic of Workmen's Compensation Law in Tennessee.

"Federalizers" was the name attached by industry groups to those advocating change in existing standards, and labor groups strongly denounced industry members of the Council for insisting that existing federal standards are sufficient. Nor did industry members hesitate to condemn the Secretary of Labor, the Director of the Bureau of Employment Security and other Bureau employees for suggesting legislation to strengthen federal standards. Discussions of the subject at Council meetings were never free from emotion. Yet an …


The Guaranteed Annual Wage And Unemployment Compensation, Ernest J. Eberling Feb 1955

The Guaranteed Annual Wage And Unemployment Compensation, Ernest J. Eberling

Vanderbilt Law Review

The recent demands of the CIO unions for the guaranteed annual wage have aroused considerable interest in this issue among those concerned with labor-management relations. Several factors have accentuated this interest. First, during 1954 when these demands were being pressed with considerable vigor, a recession had developed,resulting in a considerable increase in unemployment levels. Second, these demands were made on mass production industries manufacturing durable goods which are subject to wide variations in demand and output during periods of cyclical change. Third, the recent proposals are taking a form quite different from the existing plans, namely, they propose an integration …

Interstate Aspects Of Unemployment Insurance, Emmett Conner, Charles K. Cosner

Vanderbilt Law Review

State-operated systems of unemployment insurance, first instituted in the United States in Wisconsin in 1932, were set up in all of the states, and in the District of Columbia, Hawaii and Alaska within the two years following the enactment in 1935 of Titles III and IX of the Social Security Act.' Mutual problems of administration and of coordination among the various state programs led to a series of conferences of state officials charged with the operation of the systems. These early conferences were informal in nature, but steps were taken looking toward the creation of a formal organization. With the …
