"Without Good Cause": The Case For A Standard-Based Approach To Determining Worker Qualification For Unemployment Benefits, Emily Toler
Washington Law Review
Under Washington’s Employment Security Act, workers who voluntarily quit their jobs are qualified to receive unemployment benefits only if they establish “good cause” for leaving work. For forty years, the agency that administers the statute and the courts had substantial discretion to find good cause under the statute’s flexible, standard-based approach. However, beginning in 1977, the legislature began to restrict the scope of that discretion by moving toward a rule-based approach. This trend reached its apex in 2009, when the legislature stripped the agency and the courts of all discretion and limited good cause to eleven reasons enumerated in the …

The "Moral Hazards" Of Title Vii's Religious Accomodation Doctrine, Stephen Gee
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Freedom of religion in the workplace has recently become a hot topic with regards to whether U.S. or state laws (mainly contraceptive care and treatment of same-sex, married employees’ spouses) must accommodate certain employer’s religious beliefs or else violate the employer’s constitutional right. However, before this recent employer-centric topic came to light, the main focus was on employees and to what extent employers must accommodate an employee’s religion via Title VII. Most, if not all, academic literature has argued an employer’s duty to accommodate employee’s religion is too weak under Title VII and should thus be increased to the significant …

Qualified Immunity For “Private” § 1983 Defendants After Filarsky V. Delia,

Qualified Immunity For “Private” § 1983 Defendants After Filarsky V. Delia, Andrew W. Weis
Georgia State University Law Review
In 2012, the Supreme Court addressed private party qualified immunity in the case of Filarsky v. Delia. There, the Court found that both the historical and policy bases for immunity under § 1983 supported extending qualified immunity to outside counsel retained by a municipality. The Court noted that full-time government employees can always seek qualified immunity, so not extending it to individuals employed on some other basis would create “significant line-drawing problems . . . [which could] deprive state actors of the ability to ‘reasonably anticipate when their conduct may give rise to liability . . . .’”

Disorganized Labor: Is Knox V. Seiu The Nail In The Coffin For Public Sector Unions?, John Stanley
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
This note offers a brief history of public sector unions in America and introduces the reader to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and its role as a political player. It then lays the legal foundation on which Knox rests and examines the Knox decision itself. This note concludes that Knox is a significant event in the long-term decline of organized public sector labor, which is bound to dwindle along with unionized labor generally.

The Mary Poppins Problem: Enforcing Protective Legislation For Domestic Workers In America, Anna Pickrell
Sociology Honors Projects
State-level legislation to advance employment rights for domestic workers is on the rise in the United States, but implementation is largely ineffective due to a lack of representation on behalf of employees. This study analyzes the roles of two specific types of organizations — public policy networks pushing legislation for domestic workers and employment agencies placing workers into jobs — to better understand how enforcement of existing laws in this field can be improved through the services that protective organizations provide. Can domestic workers rely on these groups to secure their rights when individual employers may not, or do they …
