Loopholes in the secondary boycott ban

Article Abstract:

Most forms of secondary boycott are considered unfair labor practices in all industries except interstate airlines and railroads. Since airlines and railroads are governed by the Railway Labor Act and the Norris-LaGuardia Anti-Injunction Act, secondary boycotts against these transportation entities may not be enjoined by the federal courts. Thus, airlines and railroads, as well as the general public, are subject to immediate business disruption and personal inconvenience during secondary boycotts by labor unions.

Sending truckers down a slippery slope

Article Abstract:

The Dept of Transportation (DOT) is resurrecting the defunct ICC requirement that trucking companies report on what each trucker is operating and how it is doing it. The DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) requires that each company submit four times a year a report on its most confidential financial data. Such a requirement is dangerous because the BTS is not making any promises that the data be kept confidential. Moreover, the expenses to be incurred for complying would be substantial.

Blame the Shermans

Article Abstract:

The legacy of the political figures Roger, John and William Tecumseh Sherman is the promulgation of the right to private property. Their staunch support for this and antitrust laws have affected the debate on regulations concerning railroad mergers. The federal statute regulating railroad mergers exempts these transactions from the antitrust laws which puts a railroad's private property in danger. Thus, changes to correct the law are needed to ensure protection of this right.
