This study examined the legal issues of public employee labor relations in the United States. Included in this study is a review of relevant case law as it pertains to collective bargaining in the public sector. In addition to reviewing the case law, this study researched the statutory language of each state for public sector collective bargaining. The study includes a review, analysis, and summary of the state and federal laws for public sector collective bargaining. The collective bargaining process in the United States is designed to resolve disputes between two parties, the employer and the employee. The resolution of these disputes often depends on the relative bargaining power of each party. The private sector has a collective bargaining process that has been well established since the passage of the National Labor Relations Act in 1935 and the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947. The federal laws that have been implemented in the last fifty years, to include the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, among others, cover the scope of almost all of the private sector collective bargaining (Oberer, 1994). The public sector contains 50 different state laws and several federal laws defining the scope of collective bargaining for public employees. The bargaining process in the public sector takes place in the context of the political arena. This political influence, which is unique in each state and at each level of government, provides additional steps to the bargaining process that further differentiate public sector bargaining from private (Valletta, 1985). This study provides conclusions on certain aspects of public sector collective bargaining that lead to dispute resolution and contract negotiation to include fact-finding procedures, mediation, arbitration, and strike policies, in the current state of the law. Recommendations are made to public officials, policy makers, and other stakeholders for the future of public employee labor relations in the United States.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sandra Regina Thomaz.pdf: 569882 bytes, checksum: d3e152f940093fe0c5fc0ff7ba01cce8 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-10-24 / We chose the theme of this dissertation in order to point out the possible legal rules to be applied to international contracts of work, based on the sources of international, European Union and domestic law.Our choice is due to topicality and increasing labor relations at an international level, arising from the globalization of the economy and the formation of regional blocks, which allowed the movement of people across borders for the exercise of professional activities. We will approach the trajectory of international labor law and labor law in Brazil, an analysis of the principles that guide them to, then, move on to study the characteristics of international contracts of work and finally the international legal system regarding global, regional (European union and Mercosur) and Brazilian contexts, which can be used to resolve any disputes between employee and employer, when the relationship is made up of an international element / Escolhemos o tema desta dissertação com o objetivo de apontar as possíveis normas jurídicas a serem aplicadas aos contratos internacionais de trabalho, com base nas fontes de direito internacional, comunitário e interno. Nossa escolha se deve à atualidade do tema e o crescente aumento das relações de trabalho no âmbito internacional, oriundas da globalização da economia e da formação de blocos regionais, que possibilitaram a circulação de pessoas além das fronteiras para o exercício de atividades laborais. Faremos uma abordagem da trajetória do direito internacional do trabalho e do direito do trabalho brasileiro, uma análise dos princípios que os norteiam, para, então, passarmos a estudar as características dos contratos internacionais de trabalho e, finalmente, o sistema normativo internacional em âmbito global, regional (União Europeia e Mercosul) e brasileiro, que podem ser utilizados para dirimir eventuais controvérsias entre empregado e empregador, quando a relação é composta de um elemento de estraneidade

This work deals with problems of the termination of labor relation in the Czech Republic, as well as Slovak Republic. I approached this topic by comparing the currently valid regulations as stated in the Labor Codes of the Czech and Slovak republics. I consider thorough knowledge of this issue to be of great practical importance. I am convinced that labour is one of the most important attributes determining systemic functioning of the whole society. From the presentation of the labour as a basic means of production of any state system we can deduce a great amount of interesting information. The work is and always has been a prerequisite to our survival and is thus the foundation of any state system. My thesis is divided into six separate chapters, each of which deals with labor law from a different perspective. The first chapter deals with the subject, purpose and content of labor law. The second chapter describes the history of the labor law and is divided into two parts before and after 1989. Therefore it also describes the situation in Czechoslovakia, where identical laws were applied in all legal sectors. The third chapter is concerned with the meaning of employment as a legal institute. In chapters four and five I described the termination of labor relation in the Czech and subsequently Slovak...

In this thesis, we present the outcomes of a research conducted on children's domestic labor in Haiti. In addition to being engaged in housekeeping work -- which has a negative impact on access to basic education -- children in domesticity are generally victims of harmful disciplinary measures as well. Consequently, our main objective is to expose the actual norms and practices regarding the education and the physical treatment of young domestic workers. / Based on legal pluralism, the approach undertaken during this research combines both theoretical and empirical research, and focuses on law and norms existing at multiple levels. / First, we present the information gathered from our theoretical approach. After exploring the notion of "Haitian child domestic servant", sketching social profiles of actors engaged in the practice of domesticity, and identifying the most significant contingent factors, we underline the principal national and international norms guaranteeing children the right to education as well as to physical integrity. / Second, we explore the local norms related to the education and to physical treatment of young domestic servants through the results of empirical research carried out in Haiti in the form of observation and interviews with relevant actors. / We conclude by identifying the framework of norms that govern the behaviour of families that host domestic children. Understanding that framework allows jurists and other actors to identify and implement the actions more likely to improve the quality of life of child domestic workers.

Para tanto, será feito uma explanação sobre os componentes epistemológicos do direito processual, com influxos metodológicos, ideológicos e constitucionais. Em seguida, estuda-se sobre a teoria do Processo do Trabalho, observando-se sua autonomia e os princípios processuais. Ato contínuo, investiga-se o princípio do duplo grau de jurisdição de maneira geral, trabalhando-se suas características em sentido amplo. Na seqüência, serão feitas considerações com enfoque dogmático sobre o objetivo de conhecimento pelo tribunal, para tanto serão necessários compreender os conceitos de causa de pedir, pedidos questões, efeito devolutivo e juízo de admissibilidade aplicados a demanda e aos recursos. O ponto nuclear, todavia, está ao final, consubstanciando-se no estudo do princípio do duplo grau de jurisdição no Processo do Trabalho com respectivas conseqüências como o julgamento imediato do mérito pelo tribunal e os reflexos deste nos ritos sumário e sumaríssimo. / Salvador

The reform of the labor process in Uruguay. The return to the autonomous labor processThe reform of the Uruguayan labor process and the return to an autonomous legal regime represent a radical and fundamental change in the national legislation. The simplicity of new procedural structures governed by principles and owns norms of labor discipline give the new regime a dogmatic autonomous space lost for many years. The procedural labor reform is built on the adjectival character of its nature prioritizing the substantive law and adjusting the procedural rule to its characteristics. The principles of Labor Law (substantive and procedural) are the foundation of the new regime / La reforma del proceso laboral uruguayo y la vuelta a un régimen jurídico autónomo constituye un cambio radical y fundamental en la legislación nacional. La sencillez de las nuevas estructuras procesales regidas por principios y normas propias de la disciplina laboral le dan al nuevo régimen un espacio de autonomía dogmática por muchos años perdido. El sistema laboral procesal se construye sobre el carácter adjetivo de su naturaleza priorizando el derecho sustantivo y ajustando la norma procesal a las características del mismo.Los principios del derecho del trabajo (sustantivos y procesales) son labase del nuevo régimen

This study looks at the experiences of migrants accessing notions of justice at the Wits Law Clinic, the pro-bono public interest law clinic of the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. This study explores the way migrants engage with public interest law in the light of an overwhelming adversarial and threatening experience of the law. The law in the form of state law and its powers embodied in law enforcers and petty bureaucrats is mainly used against them and confines them to a ‘state of bare life’. One could therefore expect that this compels migrants to keep their heads down and avoid any form of formalization, and instead reverting to a total reliance on informal survival strategies. This study however shows that migrants retain a strong faith in the law and draw a huge sense of hope from the services they receive from the Wits Law Clinic – even though the only action that is sometimes taking place is the endless writing of letters. But it appears that the reduction of the law to absolutely mundane bureaucratic activity still holds enough symbolic power of giving migrants a sense of moving closer towards the promise of justice, which the law also holds, even though it might be over and over deferred.
