Abstract

This Note examines the majority and dissenting opinions’ reasoning in the Supreme Court Decision in 14 Penn Plaza and concludes that union members in the modern era of labor in the United States are at risk of offering their own personal rights on the union’s altar of bargaining for the collective good. The decision of how to pursue resolution of workplace discrimination, including the where, when, and in what forum, is now considered to be in the hands of union leaders, not individual employees.

Keywords: 14 penn plaza, arbitration, collective bargaining, unionized workers, union, statutory rights
