• Seiu: Collective Bargaining Agreement with Union

BOGOTA, Colombia, May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Minister of Social Protection in Colombia has fined Sodexo $2,678,000 pesos ($1,425.00 US Dollars) each day they refuse to negotiate with Sinaltrainal and ordered Sodexo to "start direct talks with trade union organization National Union of Agro-System SINALTRAINAL without delay." Sodexo workers in Colombia have been trying to form a union to bargain higher wages, payment for overtime and other benefits for more than a year.

• A New Day Dawning or Dark Clouds On the Horizon? The Potential Impact of the Pyett Case

The pending case, 14 Penn Plaza LLC v. Pyett, has important implications in the field of labor and employment law, and for those who practice in the area. The Supreme Court observed that Alexander v. Gardner-Denver involved a labor arbitration dispute under a collective bargaining agreement, not a non-union arbitration arising under the FAA.

Plaintiffs reinforce their argument by reference to the special rule for individual waivers under federal age discrimination law, and to the right to jury trial protected by statute. The National Labor Relations Board has expressed a...

• Commentary: New Orleans Hornets Dealing with Issues at Home

The NBA season is over and now basketball fans can take a break from rooting for ABL (anybody but LeBron) in the playoffs. As for the 29 teams that aren't hoisting a championship trophy, you would think they're cooling their heels ahead of the expected lapse of the collective bargaining agreement with the players' union, which expires June 30. Without an extension or new deal in place, the free agent period that starts July 1 will be quiet, meaning teams can't conduct negotiations with players on the market.

• Pirates Are Mixed On Move From Nl Central

HOUSTON -- Neil Walker was 8 years old in 1994, when his hometown Pirates left the National League East and moved into the Central Division. He's too young to have memories of the club's epic battles against the Phillies and Mets in the 1970s, '80's and early '90's. The Pirates again could change divisions -- or, perhaps, even leagues -- if baseball realigns. The topic will be part of Collective Bargaining Agreement talks between major-league owners and the players' union.
