Federal sector union liability for breach of duty of fair representation under title vii of the civil rights act: the problem of legal undertainty
By: Norma M., Riccucci.
Material type:
ArticleSubject(s): The duty of fair representation (DFR) was initially formulated by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1940s to protect racial minorities working in the private sector from discrimination by their unions. More recently, the courts have extended the protections afforded by the DFR to state and local government workers. However, the ability of federal employees to invoke this doctrine, specifically under Title vii of the Civic rights Act as amended, has not yet been resolved. this article examines the case law addressing this issue and argues that federal employee unions, just as unions operating in the private sector and at the state and local levels of government, should be subject to DFR obligations
