Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964- Seniority Provisions of Union Collective Bargaining Agreement Held Controlling Over EEOC Affirmative Action Hiring Program. Jersey Central Power & Light Co. v. Local 327, IBEW, 508 F.2d 687 (3d Cir. 1975).

Plaintiff, Jersey Central Power & Light Company (Jersey Central), a large public utility, was economically forced to announce a series of plant wide layoffs. The collective bargaining agreement in force between Jersey Central and various unions required that layoffs be conducted in reverse order of seniority, i.e., the last person hired is the first person to be fired. A conciliation agreement among Jersey Central, the unions and the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) called for the company to begin an affirmative action program designed to increase employment opportunities for women and minority workers. Plaintiff sought a declaratory judgment in federal district court as to its rights and obligations under the collective bargaining agreement, the conciliation agreement, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) and Executive Order 11246. Plaintiff named various locals of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (the Union), the EEOC, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCC), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights as defendants. Jersey Central took no position as to which of the two agreements must govern the proposed layoffs. The district court held that the layoffs could not alter the pre-layoff minority proportion of the work force by more than fifteen percent. On appeal, the Third Circuit reversed and held that layoffs were to be effectuated in accordance with the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement

La citoyenneté européenne et le déficit démocratique

The European citizenship and the democratic deficit are at the heart of the ongoing discussion about the European integration. Critics think that the possibility for the citizens to participate in the decision making process of the EU is not sufficient. In order to shed some light on this matter, the two concepts are examined under their different aspects. We emphasize not only their place in the larger context of the integration and the political situation in Europe but also the link between the two notions. This allows the conclusion that the European citizenship, because of its flexible and innovative character, should be the starting point in the search of an answer to the democratic deficit

Marketing Burley Tobacco

When your tobacco has been stripped, sort it (on the farm) into its respective groups. Sort in daylight or under fluorescent lighting, never by yellow (muzda) electric or lantern light. After the sticks of tobacco have been carefully sorted and checked, they should be packed on the truck in the following order: first, the sticks of the lowest quality, then the flyings, then the next quality, etc. Next load the high quality lugs. The leaf is then loaded, beginning with that of the highest quality and then in the order of quality to the lowest

Historical Study of Public Elementary Schools in San Antonio, Texas with Special Emphasis on Elementary Schools for Negroes from 1910 to 1940

Judged by outstanding characteristics of policy and economy the history of the development of the San Antonio Public School System which this study will consider falls into three general periods. The first extends from the appointment of Superintendents Charles J. Lufkin (1908-1914) and Charles S. Meeks (1915-1920). The second period extends from 1920-1930 with the appointment of Superintendents Jerimah Rhodes (1920-1925), Marshall Johnson (1925-1929), and Hartley (1929-1931). The third covers the years since the appointment of Superintendents Chester J. Cochran in 1931-1938 and Iziah E. Stutsman to the present time. To be sure, no sharp division separates these periods; the fixing of exact dates is an arbitrary action and is accompanied by a warning against accepting them as more than conveniences. Nor were the features of the first age all destroyed in the second, or the features of the first and second in the third. There have been siftings and accumulations, borrowings and modifications, survivals and mergers, now incorporated in the San Antonio Public School System today. Any institution or movement can be fully understood, and appreciated only if its antecedents or origins are known. The organization and activities of the San Antonio public schools today can be understood best if we know the influences leading up to the present system. Therefore, the problem of this study is to determine what are the factors and influences responsible for the present status of the Negro Elementary Schools of San Antonio

The geology of the Farmington quadrangle, Maine

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston UniversityThe Farmington Quadrangle is located in west central Maine within the New England Physiographic Province. Meta-sedimentary rocks of the Mid-Paleozoic age comprise approximately two thirds of this area. The remaining one third reveals phanerocrystalline granite rocks, divided into magmatic and granitized zones. The oldest recognized stratigraphic unit in the Farmington Quadrangle is the Smalls Falls (Parmachenee) Formation. This unit is characterized by dark, maroon stained, thinly bedded, highly sulfidic argillaceous rock with minor intercalated arenaceous and calcareous units. This formation was deposited under anaerobic conditions in closed basins. The Madrid Formation lies above the Smalls Falls Formation and is characterized by intercalated calcerous arenaceous units with some argillaceous and calcareous horizons. Near the top of the Madrid Formation lies the Dyer Hill Member which is a dark argillaceous rock. The stratigraphic units have been subjected to regional metamorphism. The metamorphism increases from low grade, chlorite intensities in the northern sector of the quadrangle to high grade, sillimanite intensities in the southern region of the quadrangle. Contact thermal metamorphic effects are superimposed on the regional metamorphism in the Clearwater Pluton area. The phanerocrystalline rock bodies are ascribed to extensive transformations of sediments in localized deeper areas of the geosyncline which produced magmatic core areas bordered by granitized and metamorphic zones. Some of the granitic magmatic material has been intruded into the overlying rocks while some has remained essentially in situ. The attitude of the rocks in the quadrangle reflect intense structural deformation. The regional strike of the bes is N.N.E and dips are usually very steep to the N.W. Shear zones both transverse and longitudinal are ubiquitous; there are many drag folds of diverse orientation associated with the shear zones. Pleated folding is suggested as the explanation for the regional structure. Isoclinal folding is held untenable due to the absence of: converging strikes of bes; lack of crests and troughs; and readily identifiable repetition of beds. The late mature topography reflects pre-glacial conditions which were modified by Pleistocene glacial erosion and deposition. The method used to map the less accessable areas of the Farmington Quadrangle was th pace and compass method. Extensive field notes were recorded and evaluated. One hundred and sixty three thin sections were prepared and studied. A geological map and the geological history of the Farmington Quadrangle was developed from these data
