Preserving Pickering, Deepa Das Acevedo

University of Miami Law Review

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the terminations of employees across dozens of industries and geopolitical environments shocked Americans into wondering whether they had workplace speech rights at all. Indeed, the promise of workplace speech freedom has been narrowing for decades—even for public employees, who enjoy more protections than private employees thanks to the Supreme Court’s landmark 1968 decision Pickering v. Board of Education.

Pickering held that the First Amendment prevents a public employer from summarily dismissing employees based on private speech regarding matters of public concern. Although Pickering’s protections have been narrowed and although they formally …

Moving Beyond Worker Rights To Worker Justice, Shefali Milczarek-Desai

Texas A&M Law Review

Precarious workers’ on-the-ground realities offer a startling truth often obscured by the jurisprudence of work—that worker justice is greatly circumscribed by and often lies beyond the reach of worker rights laws. This Article is the first to evaluate whether the worker rights paradigm can fulfill the goals of worker justice and, if not, to prefigure what might.

The worker rights paradigm emerged from a quest for worker justice that has been transmuted by work law and the political economy into a workers-as-rights-holders status requiring robust enforcement of worker rights laws. This Article introduces the concept of empirical critical work law …

Opinion: Proposed Section 107 Of The Canada Labour Code, Valerio De Stefano

Conference Papers

This opinion assesses the proposed amendment to section 107 against the standards developed by the ILO supervisory bodies and the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) under Article 8 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The proposed amendment appears incompatible with the limits developed by the ILO supervisory bodies on governmental termination of lawful strikes and compulsory arbitration and is difficult to reconcile with CESCR practice under Article 8. International standards permit restrictions on strike action in defined exceptional circumstances, but proposed section 107 would authorise the termination of an otherwise lawful …

Taking Out The Traitors, David Nows

William & Mary Law Review

Employees join startup ventures to participate in the financial upside of a future acquisition of the company through the equity ownership stake they are granted upon hire. However, startups and their founders are beginning to break the age-old deal they have made with rank-and-file employees that ensures the value of employee equity remains high in an acquisition. Founders have broken this deal by allowing acquirers to hire the startup’s star talent and purchase rights to the company’s core technology for the bulk of the would-be purchase price of the company (the Traitor Transactions). These Traitor Transactions leave behind rank-and-file employees, …

Splitting The Baby: Determining The Causation Standard In Family And Medical Leave Act Retaliation Claims, Eliana C. Singer

Fordham Law Review

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees employees unpaid leave following certain qualifying events. The FMLA not only provides substantive rights but also prohibits retaliation against employees who exercise those rights. When employees face unlawful retaliation, they can bring retaliation claims against their employers. However, there is disagreement among courts as to how to evaluate these claims. More precisely, courts are split concerning whether employees must prove their use of leave was a but-for cause of retaliation, or merely that it was one of an employer’s mixed motives for retaliating. The U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second and …

Source & Solidarity, Sari Mazzurco

Michigan Law Review

Trademark law has become the new frontier of unionbusting. Companies like Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, and Medieval Times have brought unprecedented suits against their employee unions for trademark infringement in relation to their organizing activities. This sort of litigation puts courts in the difficult position of reconciling trademark protection with unionization rights. Their attempts to apply standard trademark doctrines in this context reveal a deeper problem: Current trademark law is incoherent when applied to labor unions.

This incoherence stems from a disconnect between current trademark law and the original purpose behind its application to labor unions. This Article recovers that basis …

Affirming The Constitutionality Of Title Vii Disparate Impact Doctrine: A Response To Olc, Pauline T. Kim, Olatunde C.A. Johnson

Faculty Scholarship

This essay responds to the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) June 2026 legal opinion arguing that disparate impact doctrine, a well-established part of Title VII jurisprudence for decades, is unconstitutional as currently interpreted. Disparate impact has been an important doctrine in ensuring that employers do not engage in employment practices that arbitrarily and unjustifiably exclude members of certain groups, and this essay makes clear its continuing validity. As we explain, OLC’s Opinion is based on an incorrect characterization of how the disparate impact standard of proof functions, misconstrues the text and purpose of the statute, and manufactures …

Click To Sue: Defining Receipt Of Eeoc Notices In The Digital Age, Robert J. Toth Jr.

St. Mary's Law Journal

Federal employment discrimination statutes condition a claimant’s right to sue on timely receipt of a “right-to-sue” notice from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).  Courts have historically treated certified mail slips as sufficient to trigger a claimant’s ninety-day filing window, regardless of when the claimant opened or retrieved the letter.  In the digital era, the EEOC increasingly issues notices through email and its online Public Portal, raising questions about when electronic notice constitutes “receipt.”

This Article examines recent federal appellate court decisions—Lax v. Mayorkas, McDonald v. St. Louis University, and García-Gesualdo v. Honeywell Aerospace of Puerto Rico, …

From Welfare To Labour Rights: Shifting Terrains Of Collective Action Among India’S Platform Workers, Gayatri Nair, Eesha Kunduri

National Law School Journal

Digital labour platforms worldwide have deepened the shift towards temporary, piecemeal, casual, and non-standard work arrangements. With significant implications for wages, employment relationships, and social security, the rise of platform work has (re)shaped the experiences of work in urban India in profound ways. Our ethnographic engagements in Delhi and Hyderabad are the basis to highlight three labour issues: of wages, safety, and discrimination, which shape the everyday experience of platform workers and which have consequently been raised by unions and through workers’ collective action. These issues, we argue, demonstrate the need for legislative interventions that regulate labour conditions in platform …

Reimagining The Path Forward: Preparing And Promoting The Next Generation Of Arbitrators Through Innovative Mentorship, Disclosure, And Transparency, Homer C. La Rue

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The article addresses a pivotal moment for the labor-management arbitration profession. As demographic changes and the growing complexity of labor relations coincide with a decline in the number of qualified arbitration professionals, Professor La Rue emphasizes the critical role senior arbitrators play as mentors and gatekeepers for the next generation. The piece explores mentorship models, including the traditional “Legacy Method” and initiatives designed to expand opportunities for underrepresented groups, such as the Ray Corollary Initiative. The article also offers actionable recommendations to advance disclosure and transparency, including: (1) reducing barriers to entry for new arbitrators; (2) establishing a formal mentorship …

Proceedings of the New York State Communication Association

Inequality, Collective Power, And Democratic Renewal, Kate Andrias

Faculty Scholarship

With each passing week since this essay series commenced, American democracy has come under greater threat. Leading political scientists have concluded that the U.S. is now better described as a competitive autocracy rather than a democracy. President Trump’s recent attacks on core institutions and violations of the rule of law — from the use of violent force by ICE to the investigation of the Federal Reserve Chair and the threats involving Greenland — were unimaginable even a few months ago.
