Subminimum Or Subpar? A Note In Favor Of Repealing The Fair Labor Standards Act's Subminimum Wage Program, Melia Preedy
Subminimum Or Subpar? A Note In Favor Of Repealing The Fair Labor Standards Act's Subminimum Wage Program, Melia Preedy
Seattle University Law Review
This Note argues for the repeal of Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which continues to perpetuate a system allowing employers to pay less than minimum, or “subminimum,” wage to certain employees with disabilities. The Section 14(c) program is a relic of policy leftover from the 1930s and does not help the disabled community, but rather rests on the presumption that persons with disabilities never progress. In light of recent House Resolution 3086, Congress went against the current trend of encouraging maximum independence and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities and instead upheld the subminimum wage program; …

Workers' Compensation: Benefits, Costs, And Safety Under Alternative Insurance Arrangements, Terry Thomason, Timothy P. Schmidle, John F. Burton
Upjohn Press
Thomason, Schmidle, and Burton make use of a unique data set to delve into how insurance arrangements affect several objectives of the workers' compensation (WC) program. They underscore the effects of deregulation and other changes in WC insurance pricing arrangements by performing empirical analyses that use state-specific cost, benefit, and injury data from 48 states for 1975-1995. This allows them to address the interactive relationships among the four objectives of WC systems adequacy of benefits, affordability of WC insurance, efficiency in the benefits delivery system, and prevention of workplace injuries and diseases and how various public policies adopted by states …

Workmen's Compensation - Proceedings To Secure Compensation - Allowance Of Attorney's Fees To Claimants Unsuccessful On Appeal, Clayton R. Smalley
Workmen's Compensation - Proceedings To Secure Compensation - Allowance Of Attorney's Fees To Claimants Unsuccessful On Appeal, Clayton R. Smalley
Michigan Law Review
Employee claimed total permanent disability as a result of an industrial accident, but was awarded compensation for only a twenty percent permanent disability. Claimant was denied certiorari by the Florida District Court of Appeals. However, claimant's request for an allowance of reasonable attorney's fees for the unsuccessful appeal was granted. Claimant's employer was then granted certiorari on its contention that the Florida workmen's compensation statute and a past Florida Supreme Court decision had established that attorney's fees would be allowed only when the claimant's appeal was successful. On certiorari, held, award of attorney's fees affirmed. The statute allows an …

Intervertebral Disc Injuries In Workmen's Compensation, Larry A. Bear
Vanderbilt Law Review
No lawyer regularly involved in workmen's compensation litigation can do a worthwhile job for his client unless he has a comprehensive and intelligent acquaintance with all branches of medicine.

Familiarity with a variety of medical conditions is made necessary because of such basic medico-legal problems as causation, involving the industrial or non-industrial origin of the disability at issue, dilration and the like. Of all the industrial injuries with which the …

Michigan Law Review
Claimant suffered accidental injury to his left hand, for which he received compensation. Later he sustained additional injuries to head, ears, left and right hands, and thereby became totally disabled.
