Partial strikes under the railway labor act: The need for a doctrine of unprotected concerted activity

In light of use by airline unions of partial-strike tactics, such as concerted refusals to bid for overtime work and so-called ” CHAOS” tactics involving unannounced refusals to fly after passengers have been ticketed and are ready to board, the authors examine whether the Railway Labor Act (RLA) should be interpreted to permit employers to discipline employees for engaging in such tactics, or whether these are a protected form of economic pressure. Although in many respects bargaining duties and economic weapons under the RLA are read consonant with precedents under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) (which governs all industries other than rail and air transport), there are a few decisions suggesting that during the period when self-help may be resorted to, employees can engage in partial strike activities as long as they violate no court order but are subject to permanent replacement in limited circumstances. These decisions, the authors submit, fail to take account of Supreme Court decsions since the 1930s that some economic pressures by unions, such as slowdowns and sitins, may not violate the labor laws but nor are they protected by those laws so as to immunize partial strikers from employer discipline. These decisions are not based on unique features of the NLRA. Rather, they give recognition to the background assumptions of Congress that employers may act to protect their property interests as long as they do not run afoul of NLRA or RLA protections and that employees who engage in partial-strike activities are subject to employer discipline even where not strictly necessary to maintain operations. Moreover, these tactics skew the bargaining process by giving employees an essentially risk-free gambit to pressure their economic position through planned disruption of carrier operations.

打造民族文化力 提升国家竞争力

文化力是指综合国力中的文化、精神力量,它是与综合国力中的经济力、政治力、军事力等相对而言。精神、文化的因素越来越成为综合国力竞争中具有基础性、全局性、渗透性和长期性的要素。在综合国力诸因素中,文化力的功能在于通过对人的塑造和影响来增强或涣散一个民族的凝聚力,从而最终影响综合国力,影响国家的发展前途和民族的命运。在当前,正确认识文化力的内涵,把握加强文化力建设的良好机遇和时代背景,对于建设有中国特色社会主义文化,引领先进文化前进方向具有重要战略意义。
