Why Warn? – The Worker Adjustment And Retraining Notification Act In Bankruptcy, Laura B. Bartell Jan 2002

Why Warn? – The Worker Adjustment And Retraining Notification Act In Bankruptcy, Laura B. Bartell

Law Faculty Research Publications

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ("WARN") Ace was enacted by Congress in 1988 to provide limited protections to workers whose jobs are suddenly and permanently terminated. The WARN Act generally precludes an "employer" from ordering a "plant closing or mass layoff" until the expiration of a sixty-day period after giving written notice of such proposed action. Pursuant to legislative directive, the Department of Labor ("Department") promulgated a final rule in 1989 interpreting the provisions of the statutory language. Although neither the WARN Act itself nor the final rule makes any reference to bankrupt employers, in the preamble to the …


Carve-Outs In Workers' Compensation: An Analysis Of The Experience In The California Construction Industry, David I. Levine, Frank Neuhauser, Richard Reuben, Jeffrey S. Petersen, Cristian Echeverria Jan 2002

Carve-Outs In Workers' Compensation: An Analysis Of The Experience In The California Construction Industry, David I. Levine, Frank Neuhauser, Richard Reuben, Jeffrey S. Petersen, Cristian Echeverria

Upjohn Press

Employers and unions in several states during the 1990s were allowed to "carve out" their own workers' compensation systems. These innovative reforms gave the parties the right to collectively bargain their own systems outside the statutory systems. In addition, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) systems were implemented in order speed the legal process and reduce litigation costs. This book offers an evaluation of the first few years' experience with these organizational reforms in California.

Why The Ohio Bureau Of Workers' Compensation Must Refund Fifty Million Dollars In Subrogation Payments: A Detailed Look Into The State Of Subrogation In Ohio After Holeton V. Crouse Cartage Company, Anthony Alan Baucco Jan 2002

Why The Ohio Bureau Of Workers' Compensation Must Refund Fifty Million Dollars In Subrogation Payments: A Detailed Look Into The State Of Subrogation In Ohio After Holeton V. Crouse Cartage Company, Anthony Alan Baucco

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note begins by examining the complex history behind workers' compensation subrogation rights in the state of Ohio. This historical timeline flows from the period when statutory subrogation was non-existent in Ohio, to the first version of a subrogation statute in 1993, and finally to the broadened and revised statute in 1995. A detailed examination of the Supreme Court of Ohio's decision in Holeton v. Crouse Cartage Company follows the historical overview and focuses on the unconstitutionality of Ohio Revised Code section 4123.931. Additionally, the popular competing views gleaned from both the dissent in Holeton and the Bureau of Workers' …

Reconciling The Nlra And Irca: Can An Undocumented Worker Receive Back Pay? An Analysis Of Hoffman Plastic Compound, Inc. V. Nlrb, Barbara J. Fick

Journal Articles

This article previews the Supreme Court case Hoffman Plastic Compound, Inc., v. NLRB, 535 U.S. 137 (2002). The author expected the Court to address in this case the apparent conflict between the National Labor Relations Act's goal of the prevention of unfair labor practices and the Immigration Reform and Control Act's denial of employment to undocumented aliens. This issue arose because of an award of back pay to an undocumented worker who was fired because of his union organizing activities.


Women's Experiences Of The Workers' Compensation System In Queensland, Australia, Jo Calvey Jan 2002

Women's Experiences Of The Workers' Compensation System In Queensland, Australia, Jo Calvey

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This was a phenomenological study undertaken to understand women's experience of the workers' compensation system. Eleven women were interviewed. They ranged in age from twenty-five to sixty-five years and represented diverse socio-economic and educational backgrounds. All women were from a non-indigenous background. The initial question to women was "Can you tell me what it is like to be involved in the workers' compensation system?" The narratives were analysed and interpreted using Hycner's (1985) phenomenological guidelines. Five core themes were found: negative versus positive/neutral experiences, the workplaces response and role in the process, women's experiences of payouts and tribunals, reasons why …
