Can the NLRB help Cinderella and Little Orphan Annie?

Article Abstract:

Various forms of contingent employment offer employers the opportunity to hire workers without providing for benefits or workplace rights, but labor unions will have a difficult time organizing contingent workers. The National Labor Relations Board's 1973 Greenhoot, Inc. decision limits the ability of temporary employees to organize. In the temporary context, questions can be raised as to whether the agency or the customer-business is the employer. Independent contractor laws need to be tightened, the rights of contract employees need to be protected and temporary agencies need to be regulated.

Concurrent jurisdiction between the NLRB and the courts: should it be changed?

Article Abstract:

The federal courts and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) at present have concurrent jurisdiction of unfair labor practice claims conferred on them by law. In an age when the courts suffer from considerable congestion and resources are limited, this does not make sense. Congress could take concurrent jurisdiction away from the courts in claims where the facts have already been decided by the NLRB or the General Counsel. Other alternatives are discussed.
