» TOPIC SPOTLIGHT « Supreme Court strikes down California's labor "neutrality" law A California law forbidding private-sector employers from using state grant monies to assist or deter union organizing is preempted by the NLRA, the US Supreme Court ruled 7-2, reversing an en banc Ninth Circuit decision. Writing for the majority, Justice Stevens noted that the Taft-Hartley Act amended the NLRA by adding Section 8(c), which protects from NLRB regulation noncoercive speech about labor organizing by both unions and employers. As amended, the section manifested a "congressional intent to encourage free debate on issues dividing labor and management" (Chamber of Commerce of the United States v Brown, Dkt No 06-939, 156 LC ¶11,043).

» TOPIC SPOTLIGHT « High Court upholds Kentucky retirement benefits plan Kentucky's retirement plan, which sometimes treats workers who become disabled prior to qualifying for retirement based on age or years of service more generously than those who become disabled after they could have retired based on age, does not violate the Age Discrimination in Employer Act of 1967 (ADEA), ruled the US Supreme Court. Considering the question whether a plan that lawfully makes age in part a condition of pension eligibility, and then treats workers differently based on their pension status, is automatically discriminatory based on age, the High Court in a 5-to-4 split, concluded the disparate treatment in this case, was not 'actually motivated' by age (Kentucky Retirement Sys v EEOC, Dkt No 06-1037, 91 EPD ¶43,230).
