10 Lab. & Emp. L. 1 (1979-1980)

handle is hein.journals/laboemplo10 and id is 1 raw text is: VOLUME X, NUMBER 1, DECEMBER 1979 SECTION OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT LAW OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION * 1155 EAST 60TH STREET, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60637 Annual Meeting a Success Outgoing Section Chairman Howard Schulman pre- sided over the Section's Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas, August 11-15. Highlights of the program in- cluded the presentation by Robert J. Rabin, Section Secretary, on labor law decisions of the United States Supreme Court's 1978 term. Management and union attorneys debated the significance of Connell, the union's duty of fair representation, contingent em- ployer liability insurance and multi-employer plan problems under ERISA, new challenges in equal em- ployment opportunity, public employee bargaining in the 1980s, the impact of the presidential wage guide- lines on collective bargaining, and transportation deregulation and its significance in labor relations. The Honorable John R. Brown, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, was the featured speaker at the Section's annual lun- cheon on August 15. His presentation was both in- cisive and humorous. The Chairman, other Board members and the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board participated along with other officers and representatives from the United States Department of Labor, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other governmental agencies. A reception for members of the Section and guests was held on Monday evening, August 13. The Council of the Section and all of the Section's standing com- mittees met at various times during the program. Highlights of Committee reports were received, and the Section elected its officers for the coming year during business meetings scheduled throughout the week. As Chairman Elarbee accepted the gavel from out- going Chairman Schulman at the conclusion of the meeting, all agreed that it had indeed been one of the most unusual and profitable meetings yet. I CHAIRMAN'S COMMENT It is difficult to realize that in just a short while our midwintei meeting will be taking place. There are many things going on in the Section, some of which will be relayed to you- in more detail in other parts of this letter. I know many of you are aware that we had a horren- dous foul-up in the computer at ABA Headquarters in Chi- cago this year which leaves a great deal to be desired insofar as committee appointments are concerned. For example, some extremely active committee Fred W. Elarbee, Jr. members were le-ft off 'the,'omputer list -and some management members were avpointed to the labor side and vice versa. Needlesrs to say, it has 6een a ter- rible job to get straightened out. If you will -bear with me, I assure you that we will get your name in the right place. In the meantime, those of you who-have been on a committee and desire to stay on the same committee can be sure you are still on it unless you have received word that you have been changed. Because of my belief that there has been a prolifer- ation of Institutes and Seminars in the labor law field, I decided not to have an Institute this fall. I thought it would be more desirable to concentrate on a single In- stitute in the spring which would at least give us the benefit of the decisions which usually come out of the Supreme Court in the fall of the year. Moreover, I thought that some developing areas of the law would be more definitive and better subject matter by next April or May. The initial work on the new Developing Labor Law, Second Edition, has been completed on sched- .ule. The original efforts by Professor Morris of South- ern Methodist University in putting together the five- year supplement, additional annual supplements and the original book have been completed and the chap- ters of all these materials are now in the hands of the various subcommittee members of the Developing (continued next page)1 Copyright 0 1979 American Bar Association Produced by the ABA Press
