jurisdiction

Examples of jurisdiction in the following topics:

• Norris–La Guardia Act

  • It also established as United States law that employees should be free to form unions without employer interference, and also withdrew from the federal courts jurisdiction relative to the issuance of injunctions in nonviolent labor disputes.
  • No federal court can offer jurisdiction.
  • The three provisions include protecting worker's self-organization and liberty, removing jurisdiction from federal courts, and outlawing the "yellow dog" contract.

• Multinational Firms

  • Thus, MNCs are likely to adapt production processes in many of their operations to conform to the standards of the most rigorous jurisdiction in which they operate.
  • Therefore, once established in a jurisdiction, MNCs are potentially vulnerable to arbitrary government intervention like expropriation, sudden contract renegotiation and the arbitrary withdrawal or compulsory purchase of licenses.
  • Thus both the negotiating power of MNCs and the "race to the bottom" critique may be overstated while understating the benefits (besides tax revenue) of MNCs becoming established in a jurisdiction.

• Franchise Agreements

  • Once the Federal ten-day waiting period has passed, the Franchise Agreement becomes a State level jurisdiction document.
  • The content of a franchise agreement can vary depending on the franchise system, the state jurisdiction of the franchisor, franchisee, and arbitrator.

• A Brief Definition of Sole Proprietorships

  • In many jurisdictions, there are rules to enable the true owner of a business name to be ascertained.

• Consumers of Accounting Information

  • The body of rules that governs financial accounting in a given jurisdiction is the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP.

• Types of Partnerships

  • Limited Liability Partnership:A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a partnership in which some or all partners (depending on the jurisdiction) have limited liability.

• What is legal risk?

  • The extent of jurisdiction beyond national boundaries varies widely.

• Nonprofit Organizations (NPOs)

  • Some of the above must be, in most jurisdictions, expressed in the charter of establishment.
  • Others may be provided by the supervising authority at each particular jurisdiction.

• Terminations

  • Other forms of manipulation may be used and often these tactics are done so that the employer won't have to fill out termination papers in jurisdictions without at-will employment.
  • Such tactics may amount to constructive dismissal, which is illegal in some jurisdictions.

• National Labor Relations Act

  • In addition, employers campaigned over the years to outlaw a number of union practices such as closed shops; secondary boycotts; jurisdictional strikes; mass picketing; strikes in violation of contractual no-strike clauses; pension, health, and welfare plans sponsored by unions; and multi-employer bargaining.
  • The Taft–Hartley Act prohibited jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns.
