Religious accommodation and the National Labor Relations Act

Article Abstract:

The National Labor Relations Act should be amended to better protect individual religious freedoms that are infringed upon by the operation of the Act and other labor laws. While the rights of religious institutions are generally acknowledged in labor laws, individuals, particularly those with minority religious beliefs, have not been protected by the courts. The National Labor Relations Board should be charged with balancing employer and state interests with individual religious interests. Precedent for balancing involving federalism and property interests can be extended to religion.

ETI, phone the Department of Labor: economically targeted investments, IB 94-1 and the reincarnation of industrial policy

Article Abstract:

The US Dept of Labor's Interpretive Bulletin (IB) 94-1 improperly reintroduces industrial policy into the standards set forth for investments by pension plans. IB 94-1 advocates economically targeted investments and proposes that a clearinghouse be established to promote such investments. Introduction of corollary benefits into pension investment strategies is inconsistent with the fiduciary duty laws of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Congress should act to repeal IB 94-1.

Employees, pensions, and the new economic order

Article Abstract:

A pension equity collar would be an innovative investment instrument which could provide employee-investors with better equity returns while promoting equity investment. Pension plan participants have not benefited as well as they should have from stock market gains because, historically, they have been reluctant to become heavily invested in equity in their companies. A pension equity collar could guarantee a strong minimum return to employees willing to forego above-average returns.
