Finally, the Jews fled Egypt in the "greatest walk-out in history." Here's to freedom from tyranny and to self-determination for us all. Happy Passover!

Produced for Operation Dixie, the CIO's post-war effort to organize the South, the comic retconned bibilical tales into stories of worker empowerment. My favorite is its retelling of the Passover story -- Pharoah refusing "to bargain in good faith" and ordering an unfair "speed-up."

In celebration of the first night of Passover, I offer the CIO's 1945 comic book, "The Bible and the Working Man."

Whoo hoo!

Wonder Woman looks toward the upper left side of the panel behind some kind of metal bars as she sees bullets or something hit the metal around her with loud “THOMP” and “KTHOOM” sound effects. Wonder Woman thinks, “Ge must be an EMPLOYEE here – – and a DEDICATED one, if he’s working here on SUNDAY!”

I guess I got lucky submitting in mid-January to specialty journals in my field that were open early. Sorry to hear it’s such a tough cycle.

Thanks, Sheafe!

I’m also “thrilled,” in addition to being “trilled.”

I can’t wait to read the other contributions! Who doesn’t like tv and labor?

I haven't posted the draft yet on SSRN, but please reach out if you'd like to read it; I'd love your feedback.

The Administrative Law Review is the Nation's premiere journal on administrative law, published by the ABA Section of Administrative Law & Regulatory Practice and read by pracitioners and academics alike. Publishing there is a "bucket list" placement, and I couldn't be happier.

At the same time, however, the article discusses why the loss of removal protections is a net-negative for NLRB adjudication, or, as Pete Campbell quipped, "Not Great, Bob!"

My article contends that the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause will mitigate the loss of removal protection for NLRB members, protect parties' right to a fair and impartial trial, and provide a modicum of agency autonomy even if the Supreme Court strikes down Humphrey's Executor.

I'm trilled to announce that my new article, "Zones of Independence at the National Labor Relations Board after Humphrey's Executor," is slated for publication in the Administrative Law Review this September.

I’ll write you!

Ah, joining the anxious masses, eh? May the odds ever be in your favor.

That’s a wonderfully deep cut.

Here! ‘91. I had to go buy winter boots to sub for the sneakers I could wear in Virginia year round.

What's old is new again: As in 1948, hoping Santa loads your stockings with civil rights, full and fair employment, low-cost housing, lower prices, and fair labor laws. Happy holidays to you all!

Something like this: Transcript of Oral Argument, Janus v. AFSCME, 138 S. Ct. 2448, at 47 (Feb. 26, 2018), www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

Without commenting on substance, the most surprising thing about attending argument in Trump v. Slaughter in person this morning was how short the bar line was to get in!

Doesn’t everyone find admin law as exciting as I do?

You should add Judge Pan’s dissent to your N&P trifecta.

Thanks @emilysbremer.bsky.social, @beaubaumann.bsky.social, @jedshug.bsky.social, for dropping great papers in the last couple of days about Humphrey's Executor and administrative adjudication that perfectly fill those pesky "ADD CITE HERE" footnotes in my current article draft.

Fwiw, @katejackson.bsky.social, I read the post as about embracing shared morality wherever you can find it, not an argument for theocracy. I hope to listen to you two discuss at ALPE!

From 1950 to today, we still strive for jobs we can be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and especially to the public servants who make the promise of a better life real for our country and its people every working day.

You do you.

“If I had had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” Who said it and when? Le Grand Illusion

As Twain is credited with saying, “if I had had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” I’m really hoping to keep my current article to 20k, but it’s tough!
