Com- mittee Co-Chairmen Horace Thompson and James English are working closely with the Council on prelim- inary details. A special Council Committee was ap- pointed at the Honolulu meeting to draw up prelimi- nary plans for a similar treatise or supplement dealing with Equal Employment Opportunity Law. Both of these books would be first quality works and, together with The Developing Labor Law, would provide the cornerstone of a basic labor and employment relations law library. New Section Standing Committees In recognition of the ever-changing field of labor rela- tions, the Council unanimously adopted a resolution to establish an ad hoc committee on amendments to Section 301 of the National Labor Relations Act con- cerning breach of duty of fair representation actions. This committee would concern itself with the duty of fair representation and legislation in the field. William Isaacson, David Feller and Lester Asher have been named as co-chairmen, and Mary Ellen Krug, Robert Segal, Thomas E. Lippard and Robert H. Bogucki, as members of this ad hoc committee. The Council also considered and deferred action un- til its next meeting on the question of establishing a new standing committee concerning Employment Rights in the Absence of Union Representation.

In these past eight months since I became Chairman at the Honolulu meeting, our Section has continued to grow in a dynamic fashion. Several of our standing committees are preparing pro- posals for the Council's consid- eration concerning the prepara- tion and publication of labor . law treatises similar to The Developing Labor Law but cov- ering equal employment oppor- tunity, OSHA, and pension areas. Our Committee on Insti- Robert J. Connerton tutes and Meetings, ably chaired by Harry Keaton and Bob Pleasure, has just completed a most success- ful program in Washington on employee rights in the work place. They are hard at work now putting the finishing touches on what should be an outstanding meeting in New Orleans, August 10-12. OurJulyNews- letter will contain the full program for our Annual Meeting. I urge those of you who have not yet completed Copyright © 1981 American BarAssociation your New Orleans travel arrangements to do so im- mediately. The most recent tabulation from ABA head- quarters in Chicago shows that our membership is fast approaching 12,000, including student members. Al- though our financial picture continues to improve, we must continue to make every effort to hold the line against inflation-fueled cost increases. The Section's work on the second edition of The Developing Labor Law is nearing completion. Messrs. Bioff, Cohen, King and Powell are working closely with Professor Charles Morris and their Board of Editors in a concentrated effort to meet the targeted fall 1981 publication date. I believe that by August, when I will be turning over the gavel to Chairman-Elect Charles G. Bakaly, I will have fulfilled my personal priorities of keeping the Sec- tion on a steady financial keel; establishing a closer relationship between the Council and the Section com- mittees; insuring that all of our committees are active; and exploring exciting new areas for the Section in its Institutes and Annual Meeting programs.
