Memoir on the founding of the Journal
Article Abstract:
Changes in the US workplace and the prominence of collective bargaining have resulted in a shift in focus for the Industrial Relations Law Journal, founded at Boalt Hall, University of California at Berkeley, in 1976. The Journal's current title, the Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law, reflects the increased importance of law governing non-union workplaces. When the Journal was founded, the interest in labor law at Boalt Hall was very high. Fewer students take the labor law class now, but the employment law class covers a burgeoning area of law.

A tribute to the birth of the Journal
Article Abstract:
The students that founded the Industrial Relations Law Journal, now the Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law, in 1976 knew that the Journal would need financial support, student interest and quality articles to survive. University of California at Berkeley law students established the Journal without receiving academic credit but found the experience rewarding. As the title change suggests, the Journal has evolved to address the growth of statutory law governing the workplace in areas such as employee benefits and discrimination.

Taft and Hartley vindicated: the curious history of review of labor arbitration awards
Article Abstract:
The Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 (LMRA), also know as the Taft-Hartley Act, was not intended to promote labor arbitration but to strengthen the rights of employers. The US Supreme Court ruled in 1960, in the Steelworkers Trilogy, that the courts should stay out of collective bargaining agreements and thus strengthened labor arbitration under LMRA. After the passage of the Federal Arbitration Act, however, it became more difficult for unions to challenge employer abuses of collective bargaining agreements.
