A panel shouts "play ball." (baseball labor dispute)

Article Abstract:

The lack of resolution to the 1994 baseball dispute has led to calls for compulsory arbitration. However, compulsory arbitration is unlikely to result in a solution acceptable to all parties because it denies the bargaining process and imposes a decision from the outside. Therefore, baseball would be better served by a panel following the model of the Atomic Energy Labor-Management Panel which was both a fact-finding panel and able to make recommendations but used it power primarily to encourage compromise through the threat of outside intervention.

Protected concerted activity and individual action under Section 7: will Alleluia Cusion resurface?

Article Abstract:

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) discussed employee dismissals for concerted labor action in Alleluia Cushion, Meyers Industries and City Disposal. The Reagan NLRB's ruling in Meyers Industries overruling the Nixon Board's Alleluia Cushion holding that an employer was privileged under the National Labor Relations Act to dismiss a nonunion employee for refusing to engage in unsafe labor practices showed slipshod legal reasoning. Civil rights advocates will welcome the day when the NLRB amends this ruling.

Baseball, apple pie and Section 10(j): the Americanization of injunctive relief under the NLRA

Article Abstract:

The injunction the NLRB used to restored professional baseball's salary arbitration systems and reserve-free agency exemplifies how the National Labor Relations Act section 10(j) can be used as a remedy. The section, designed to allow relief while awaiting a final NLRB order, provided relief to the Major League Baseball Players Assn pending a new agreement to replace their expired contract. Unilateral changes in mandatory bargaining points provided reasonable cause to obtain relief under section 10(j).
