Download The Supreme Court on Unions: Why Labor Law Is Failing American Workers AudioBook Free
Labor unions and courts have seldom been allies. Off their earliest efforts to organize, unions have been confronted with hostile judges and antiunion doctrines. With this book, Julius G. Getman argues that as the role of the Supreme Courtroom is becoming more central in shaping labor legislation, its views betray a profound ignorance of labor relations along with a persisting bias against unions. In The Supreme Courtroom on Unions, Getman critically examines the decisions of the nation's highest judge in those areas that are necessary to unions and the workers they represent: managing, bargaining, attacks, and dispute quality. As he discusses Supreme Courtroom decisions coping with unions and labor in a number of different areas, Getman offers an interesting historical perspective to light up the ways that the Courtroom has been an effect in the failures of the labor activity. During more than 60 years that have seen the Supreme Courtroom take a prominent role, both unions and the establishment of collective bargaining have been significantly weakened. Although it is difficult to measure the level of the Court's responsibility for the current weak point out of organized labor and many other factors have, of course, added, it appears clear to Getman that the Supreme Courtroom has played out an important role in transforming regulations and defeating plans that support the labor activity. The book is publicized by Cornell University or college Press.
