The union (Union) member-employees of the Erie Resistor Company (Company) struck Company over the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement that was being negotiated between Company and Union. Company continued production operations during the strike by hiring new hires and crossover union members who were persuaded to abandon the strike and come back to work. Company promised all replacement workers super seniority. This would take the form of adding twenty years to the length of a worker’s actual service for the purpose of future layoffs and recalls. Many union members accepted the offer. Union filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Is Company’s offer of the super seniority lawful? Explain your answer.

- Mark Young is the head of the painting department in a large hospital; 20 union employees report to him. Before coming on board at the hospital, he had worked as an independent contractor. At the hospital, he took a position that was newly created because the hospital believed change was needed in how painting services were provided. Upon beginning his job, Mark did a 4-month analysis of the direct and indirect costs of painting services. His findings supported the perceptions of his administrators that painting services were inefficient and costly. As a result, Mark completely reorganized the department, designed a new scheduling procedure, and redefined the expected standards of performance. Mark says that when he started out in his new job he was “all task,” like a drill sergeant who didn’t seek any input from his subordinates. From Mark’s point of view, the hospital environment did not leave much room for errors, so he needed to be strict about getting painters to do a good job…arrow_forwardT.W.E., a large manufacturer, prohibited its employees from distributing union leaflets to other employees while on the company’s property.

According to the suit, the employee was paid as an independent contractor through oDesk and assigned projects that were impossible for him to complete in the maximum 30 hours per week that he was authorized to bill. This forced him to work additional hours on his own time, without the benefit of overtime pay to which he was legally entitled to under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Google also provided the worker with a mobile phone, tablet, and laptop computer while he worked at Google offices in New York. Google further required that the worker use Google proprietary software and conform to the employee code of conduct in regards to absenteeism, blogging, and dress code. The worker complained about nonpayment of the additional work hours and attempted to…arrow_forward
- Joan Leikvold was hired by Valley View Community Hospital as an operating room supervisor in 1972. She did not have a contract for a specific duration, nor was she told that the hospital would not discharge her except for cause. She was provided with a policy manual and told that the policies were to be followed in her employment relationship with the hospital. In 1978, she became the director of nursing. In October 1979, she requested a transfer back to her former position in the operating room. The chief executive officer (CEO) felt that it was inadvisable for someone who had been in a managerial position to take a subordinate position. Leikvold withdrew the transfer request but was subsequently fired. Her personnel record indicated “insubordination” as the reason for discharge. Leikvold was an at-will employee. At-will means that there is a contract made for an indefinite duration and either party, employer or employee, may terminate the contract at any time for any reason, or…arrow_forwardCase6 Therien, an independent contractor, operated a trucking business. He drove one truck and hired drivers to operate the others. Therien was engaged in the business for several years and has been doing business with City Construction Company.

The City Construction Company entered into a collective agreement with the Teamsters’ Union requiring, as one of its terms, that all employees be union members. Therien agreed then to hire only union members for the operation of his truck. However, he declined to join the union personally because he wished to maintain his relation as an independent contractor in dealing with City Construction. He further claimed that, in the capacity of an employer in his own right, he was forbidden by the Labour Relation Code from participating in union activities. The union opposed his view, and because of the union’s threat to picket the City Construction, the…arrow_forwardHenry has worked for N 49,a small manufacturer of transistors, as a production supervisor for 15 years.
