[...] relying on congressional intent, the Supreme Court has pronounced that federal law exclusively occupies the field of collective bargaining in the private sector.5 Therefore, because a claim for time spent in activities covered by a collective bargaining agreement under section 3(o) necessarily involves reference to the collective bargaining agreement, a state law that provides differently must yield to section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act.6 Second, the purposes and objectives of section 3(o) are evident in the FLSA' s unambiguous mandate, as well as its legislative history.7 In adopting section 3(o), Congress clearly intended to sanction the collective bargaining process as the means to determine compensation for clothes changing at shift changes. Allowing state law ...
The Obama administration is more than a year late in releasing an important report on federal government union costs. Clauses within collective bargaining agreements require that the government pay some federal workers for union activities - using tax dollars. This practice, known as "official time," is documented annually in the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Official Time Usage in the Federal Government Report. Unfortunately, the Obama administration has not released any official time statistics since taking office; 2008 is the latest information available. According to OPM, "Official time, broadly defined, is paid time off from assigned Government duties to represent a union or its bargaining unit employees." In other words, government agencies allow some federal employees to...
Grant-in-aid athletes in revenue-generating sports at Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association institutions are not student-athletes as the NCAA asserts, but are, instead, employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). To be an employee under the Act, these athletes must meet both the common law test and a statutory test applicable to university students.

These interviews demonstrate that their daily burdens and obligations not only meet the legal standard of employee, but far exceed the burdens and obligations of most university employees. As employees under the NLRA, these athletes are entitled to form, join or a...

It's been thirty years since the US Supreme Court decided Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, holding that requiring nonunion members of a bargaining unit in the public sector to provide financial support for the collective bargaining activities of a union in the form of agency fee payments did not violate the nonmembers' First Amendment rights. While the basic right of nonmembers to object to the manner in which their fees are spent is relatively straightforward, the procedures designed to handle their objections have spawned seemingly endless litigation. Part I of this article will discuss some of the historical antecedents that laid the ground work for the assessment of agency fees, provided procedural safeguards for dues objectors and delineated the test for "germaneness" in decidi...
In 1993, Grinspoon established two foundations: the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, focused on enhancing and improving Jewish life and culture, and the Harold Grinspoon Charitable Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for a number of educational and entrepreneurial activities in the region, and most recently has turned its collective attentions to energy conservation. [...] Grinspoon and his wife, Diane Troderman, also a philanthropist, are founding partners in the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education (PEJE) and serve together on the board of governors of Hillel: the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, and are trustees of the Washington Institute, in addition to sever-al other affiliations with charitable groups of all kinds.
