Download or read book Labor Guide to Labor Law written by Bruce S. Feldacker and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labor Guide to Labor Law is a comprehensive survey of labor law in the private sector, written from the labor perspective for labor relations students and for unions and their members. This thoroughly revised and updated fifth edition covers new statutes, current issues, and the latest developments in labor and employment law.The text emphasizes issues of greatest importance to unions and employees. Where the law permits a union to make certain tactical choices, those choices are pointed out. Material is included on internal union matters that tend to be ignored in management texts. Bruce S. Feldacker and Michael J. Hayes cover applicable labor law principles from a union's initial organizing campaign to the mature bargaining relationship, including such subjects as the employee right to engage in protected concerted activity, the duty to bargain, labor arbitration, the use of strikes, picketing and other economic weapons in resolving a labor dispute, the duty of fair representation, internal union regulation, and employment discrimination.This book is also a useful reference and review for full-time union officers and representatives who have a working knowledge of labor law but wish to brush up on certain points as needed in their work. Both authors have extensive experience in the construction field, and they have been careful to include material on those aspects of labor law that are unique to that field.Labor Guide to Labor Law is structured to present an unbiased and comprehensive explanation of labor law principles for anyone interested in the field. Thus, labor relations educators, as well as practitioners in the field representing labor, management, or individual employees, should also find the text suitable for their use. Each chapter includes a summary, review questions and answers, a restatement of "Basic Legal principles" with citations to key cases, and a bibliography for additional research.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-article dissertation focuses on labor market regulation in the American construction industry. The United States faces two parallel crises: one with affordable housing supply, and one with maintaining residential construction labor standards. Historically, issues with labor standards have been addressed on public works through prevailing wage requirements. Labor standards-while good for workers-may increase construction costs; higher costs, in turn, negatively impact low-income families by reducing supplies of affordable housing. In Chapter 1 of this dissertation, I re-examine whether this tradeoff exists and, if so, its implications. I estimate that prevailing wage requirements add, at most, 6% to the costs of affordable housing construction. The implicit baseline for this paper is the current practices in the residential construction industry, including the cost advantages realized by contractors engaging in illegal and undesirable practices. An alternative baseline would be the cost of building affordable housing for contractors who abide by labor standards, classify their workers correctly and pay the required amounts in social insurance and taxes.Informal employment, defined as the illegal misclassification of employees as independent contractors or employment of workers using cash-only payments, has long been rampant in the American construction industry. These actions rob workers of legally earned benefits, defund social programs, and undermine the competitiveness of law-abiding contractors. While enforcing labor laws has proved difficult, prevailing wage laws may make states abler to strengthen enforcement and limit informality. Under penalty of law, these regulations require employers to submit weekly certified payrolls to government agencies on public works projects, which increases governmental oversight. In Chapter 3 of this dissertation, I use state-level data from 2010-2019 to examine the relationship between prevailing wage laws and informal construction employment. State prevailing wage laws, even those of weak and average strength, are associated with significant reductions in informality.Lastly, Chapter 2 of this dissertation focuses on occupational licensing requirements in construction. Over time, disagreements have persisted over the effects of occupational licensing on markets and the appropriate role of government in the regulation of occupations. In Chapter 2, I exploit state variation in occupational licensing laws to examine labor market outcomes of occupational licensing in construction. Data on licensing comes from 2016-2019 Current Population Survey (CPS) data as well as a new 2019 data set on licensing requirements for the three primary construction occupations that require licensing in certain states: electricians, plumbers, and operating engineers. Consistent with prior literature, results suggest the presence of occupational licensing is associated with an 8.3 to 14.8 percentage point increase in earnings for electricians, plumbers, and operating engineers. Employment results are more mixed; while these results suggest occupational licensing is associated with a 1.2 to 1.3 percentage point increase in the proportion of workers employed as electricians, plumbers, or operating engineers, effects on the level of employment in these occupations were not statistically significant. In supplemental analyses I explore possible competing explanations for these employment findings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employers have the responsibility to provide a safe workplace. Employers MUST provide their employees with a workplace that does not have serious hazards and follow all relevant OSHA safety and health standards. Employers must comply with specific standards. All employers in the construction industry must also have injury and illness prevention programs. Contractors and employers who do construction work must comply with standards in 29CFR1926. SubpartC, General Safety and Health Provisions, as well as other specific sections of these standards, include the responsibilities for each contractor/employer to initiate and maintain injury and illness prevention programs, provide for a competent person to conduct frequent and regular inspections, and instruct each employee to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions and know what regulations are applicable to the work environment. Employees must be provided training in a language and vocabulary they can understand. US Department of Labor Publication OSHA 2202-09R, Construction Industry Digest, contains summaries of the most frequently used standards in the construction industry. The standards are presented alphabetically followed by the reference to the appropriate regulation. With few exceptions, standards in this digest are from Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part1926. Remember, this booklet is only a digest of basic applicable standards and should not be considered as a complete substitute for any provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHAct), or for any standards issued under the OSHAct. The requirements discussed in this publication are summarized and abbreviated. The actual source standards are referenced at the end of each topic discussed; consult the CFR for a more complete explanation of the specific standards listed.
