Industrial Relations Legislation status of trade union officials (shop stewards) Contracts of Employment unfair/wrongful dismissal disciplinary arrangements. 

The vulnerability of the professional employee to unfair termination has finally been recognized, however, and is illustrated by abusive discharge cases, of which I shall now mention three. In a 1959 California case called Peterman vs. Teamster Local 296 (2), the court reinstated an employee who had been fired for failing to commit perjury when solicited to do so by the employer. In that case the court said ... 

The term, unfair labor practice, is used in the Taft-Hartley Act. Violation of any of the specific practices stated in the Act are subject to remedial action ordered by the National Labor Relations Board. The Board has the authority to go to court to ensure that its decisions are carried out. If an employee who is fired or otherwise discriminated against so charges, the burden of proof is on the employer to show that such action is completely unrelated to union activity. 

There is an alarming number false negatives and false positives in the drug testing industry. That s a fact. And what it means is that competent, law abiding workers are unfairly being denied employment and losing jobs. The employers evaluation of the employees competency is dependent on the competency of the lab. Even when the lab is competent, there are still false positives due to other factors, all of which are outside the control of the employee. 

Employees can at any time terminate the employment relationship under a CNE without statement of grounds. If employment is terminated by the employer, a 14-day notice period becomes effective after an employment duration of 1 month, and is extended to 1 month after 6 months employment. This contract thus dispenses with the essential protection against (unfair) dismissal provision that demands the statement of a real and serious cause (cause reelle et serieuse).94... 

It is probably unfair to expect that any single thymic polypeptide should have the capability of inducing the full maturation of precursor stem cells into mature functional T lymphocytes. It is perhaps more appropriate to hypothesize that the variety of well-defined thymic polypeptides act sequentially in the thymus to promote selected steps of T-cell differentiation similar to the sequential interactions seen in the complement and coagulation cas-case systems. Thus, the most informative studies concerning the mechanisms of thymic hormone actions are those that have employed prethymic precursor cells or thymocytes and specific assays to detect the influences of the preparation on various intracellular enzymes or cell surface markers that reflect the state of differentiation of the cell. A detailed schematic representation of the different steps in T cell differentiation (in man) was shown in Fig. 10 earlier in this chapter. Figure 10 has been generated from studies performed with both murine and human thymic precursor cells, and on the basis of such studies the hypothesized sites of actions of each of the well-characterized thymic factors are indicated. It would appear from the currently available information that some thymic factors (such as thymosin P3... 

The history of mine and boobytrap warfare Is almost as long as the history of war Itself. Although these devices were once considered an unfair and cowardly manner of fighting an enemy, nations continued to develop and employ mines and boobytraps because they provided an effective and simple means of inflicting casualties upon an enemy force ... 

One-fourth of the respondents felt employers were unfair and 10% were very definite about it. But, three-fourths felt employers were fair and one-third shared this opinion without any reservation. 

Only 10% of those who received some form of recognition, felt employers were unfair, but 37% of those who felt employers were unfair were in the group which received no recognition. So, a little recognition, not necessarily money, goes a long way. 

The primary law that regnlates the private sector in the area of nnionization is the National Labor Relations Act. This law, as well as other related laws governing this area, is overseen by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), an independent federal agency." The National Labor Relations Board has established rules and regulations governing the election process, unfair labor practices, and other areas of the collective bargaining process and the relationship between private sector employers and the union. 

Given the visibility and functions of the safety professional within the company or organization, the safety professional can often be a focus point for the filing of unfair labor practices by the labor organization. One of the first tactics often employed is to contact OSHA to initiate an inspection in order that any alleged violations could... 

The term employee shall include any employee, and shall not be limited to the employees of a particular employer, unless the Act [this subchapter] explicitly states otherwise, and shall include any individual whose work has ceased as a consequence of, or in connection with, any current labor dispute or because of any unfair labor practice, and who has not obtained any other regular and substantially equivalent employment, but shall not include any individual employed as an agricultural laborer, or in the domestic service of any family or person at his home, or any individual employed by his parent or spouse, or any...
