What consumers and job seekers give up when they unknowingly give up their right to sue which is unjust? A Metamorphosis: How Forced Arbitration Arrived In the Workplace (Carmen Comsti, 2012) Companies should not attempt to restrict the venue for Shareowner claims by adopting charter or bylaw provisions that seek to establish an exclusive forum.

    Rachael Martinelli Case Study 8-2: The Outsourced Work 1. Is BE bound by the terms of the project labor agreement, which it did not directly sign, including the duty to submit this labor dispute to final and binding arbitration for resolution? I believe that Bolton Engineering (BE) should not always be bound to the terms of the project labor agreement, that they did not directly sign. Bolton Engineering should only be bound to these conditions if they are working onsite. They did not directly sign the with the labor union so they should only have to follow the labor union when they are working on the premises of Rocket Motor Corporation.

Under the Section 7, it is described that employees, even non-union, are to be protected from termination in regards to concerted activity (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters, 2012). When an action is taken by two or more employees to express a complaint or grievance relating to the conditions of employment under the employer's control (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters, 2012). Drake and Keeler were acting in a concerted manner by walking off in protest the cold temperature at their workstations.

    It was stated by Charles Evans Hughes in a court case (Document F) that “[the] authority of the federal government may not be pushed to such as extreme.” This court case was in context of the government’s control over the poultry industry and he believed that the expansion in power, and specifically on businesses, was too much. Yet another example of businesses being put down is given by John L. Lewis in a NBC radio broadcast (Document G) where he talked about how business leaders “have no right” to not listen to union employees and cooperate with them. While corporate-union relationships ought to exist and facilitate workers with fair pay and conditions, it is also important especially during this time of hardship for businesses to be able to thrive so that the economy can be revived. Along with the control that they have, the government isn’t helping businesses either by giving them the backhand for not complying with the demands of unions; they are hindering businesses from growing.

  • The Constrained Court

    429 Words  | 2 Pages

    Courts prove unsuccessful in achieving social change due to the constraints on the court’s power. Rosenburg’s assessment that courts are “an institution that is structurally challenged” demonstrates the Constrained Court view. In this view, the Court’s lack of judicial independence, inability to implement policies, and the limited nature of constitutional rights inhibit courts from producing real social reform. For activists to bring a claim to court, they must frame their goal as a right guaranteed by the constitution, leading to the courts hearing less cases (Rosenburg 11). The nature of the three branches also creates a system of checks and balances in which Congress or the executive branch can reverse a controversial decision, rendering the Court’s impact void.
