A Season Of Change: Reforming The H2b Guest Worker Program, Jayesh Rathod

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

INTRODUCTION: Each year, as spring and summer arrive, Americans partake in range of seasonal traditions: beautifying their lawns and gardens; enjoying harvests of fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood; and attending local fairs and festivals. Although these rituals have become part of the American cultural fabric, few know that they are supported by thousands of temporary guest workers who enter the United States each year under the H-2 visa program.' The H-a program allows U.S employers to petition for seasonal agricultural workers (via the H-2A program) and seasonal nonagricultural workers (via the H-2B program) to work in this country on a …

The Union Idea In 21st Century America, Amanda M. Perry

Senior Honors Projects

This project explores the development of the “union idea” and its role in low wage labor markets in the 21st Century.

The "labor question" became a central issue in the early 20^th century because its solution seemed essential to the survival of American democracy itself: could a society based on wage labor provide a rising standard of living and full social participation for those workers? For a time during and after World War II the “union idea” - workplace democracy, working class solidarity, and the allocation of resources partly on a social rather than a market basis – became …

Compensating Differentials For Sexual Harassment, Joni Hersch

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This paper provides evidence of the relation between the risk of sexual harassment and wages. While one approach to detecting the effect on wages of sexual harassment would be to estimate wage equations controlling for whether an individual reports that he or she had been sexually harassed, sexual harassment on the job is unlikely to be exogenous with respect to wages, and it is difficult to identify appropriate variables that would allow instrumental variables estimation. In addition, there are almost no data reporting information on sexual harassment as well as wages and other determinants of wages. To avoid these problems, …

Bar-Ilan University V. National Labor Court, Ayala Procaccia, Edmond E. Levy, Dorit Beinisch, Edna Arbel, Miriam Naor, Eliezer Rivlin, Asher Grunis

Translated Opinions

The questions that arise for deliberation in this Petition are: Is a workers’ organization, some of whose members are pensioners of the workplace, entitled to declare a strike against the employer on the issue of the pensioners’ rights, although an employer-employee relationship no longer exists between the employer and the pensioners? Should such a strike be recognized as one that is protected by the labor laws?

What remains of a concrete labor dispute, which was resolved during the deliberations before the National Labor Court, are these conceptual-fundamental questions, which, in light of their importance, have constituted a subject of rulings …

"Mancession" Or "Momcession"?: Good Providers, A Bad Economy, And Gender Discrimination, Joan C. Williams, Allison Tait

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In the aftermath of the 2008 economic downturn, two of the hardest hit industries were manufacturing and construction. As a result, men became unemployed at a higher rate than women, and consequently, women—for the first time ever—became over fifty percent of the employment. This "mancession" gave rise to great debate over the place of women in the workforce and the important role that employment plays in shaping male identity. An intervening critique came in the form of the "momcession" discourse that focused on the impact of the recession on mothers, who were often responsible for caretaking, homemaking, and providing the …
