• Lawmakers Again Try to Ban Forced Arbitration Clauses

Taking aim at a U.S. Supreme Court ruling they say strips workers and consumers of their right to redress against powerful corporations Tuesday, lawmakers in both houses reintroduced the Arbitration Fairness Act, which would bar pre-dispute mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer and employment contracts and in civil rights disputes. Speaking to reporters, Sens. Al Franken, D-Minn., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said the Court's recent decision in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, holding that state laws limiting companies' ability to require bilateral arbitration of disputes are preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act.

• Back Toward Serfdom in New Zealand

Baird comments on the new bill-the Employment Relations Act (ERA), which will help unions reverse their drastic decline in membership-that replaced the 1991 Employment Contracts Act (ECA), which had abolished compulsory unionism in New Zealand. He notes that, from a classical-liberal perspective, there are four particularly egregious features of the proposed bill: It disadvantages individual, relative to collective, employment contracts; it imposes drastic new "good faith" requirements on both collective and individual bargaining; and it forces transfer of terms of employment from one employer to successor employers or contractors. He also details more on the bill's boundaries.

• Closing U.S. Courts to Foreign Seamen: The Judicial Excision of the Faa Seamen's Arbitration Exemption From the New York Convention Act

In the recent Francisco and Bautista decisions, the Fifth and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals compelled arbitration of Jones Act tort claims brought by Filipino seamen whose employment contracts included mandatory arbitration clauses falling under the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards and its implementing Act. Matthew Nickson's note argues that the decisions are flawed because they distort statutory plain meaning and legislative history. It also examines why the decisions run counter to fundamental principles of U.S. admiralty law and the broad remedial policies of the Jones Act, as well as Supreme Court labor law and Federal Employers' Liability Act jurisprudence. The note concludes that both cases work an injustice to foreign se...

• Commentary: Arbitration Clauses in Employment Contracts: Are Yours Enforceable?

As summer gives way to September, it's time for a little homework. Your assignment: review the arbitration clauses in your company's employment contracts. Two events this summer necessitate such a review. First, the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform Act did more than just create the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. It also increased the rights of whistleblowers, giving them more time and a monetary incentive to report violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act -- and better protection against retaliation if they do.

Business community's involvement in New Zealand's economic growth The experience of New Zealand demonstrates that the business community can drive a country's economic transformation. The New Zealand Business Roundtable (NZBR) was formed in 1986 after the government's introduction of a radical reform package. It entailed the liberalization of the financial, foreign exchange, input and product markets, and the deregulation of the labor market through the passage of the Employment Contracts Act in 1991. These measures have been highly successful. The New Zealand economy has been growing since the start of the 1990s, with considerable progress being made in employment, labor productivity, budget, inflation and government debt. The NZBR has been a strong supporter of the government's progr...
