Book Description

Excerpt from Jurisdiction in American Building-Trades Unions Three forms of trade-union jurisdiction, therefore, may be distinguished: (i) territorial jurisdiction, (2) personal juris diction, and (3) trade jurisdiction. Since the second type, personal jurisdiction, is rudimentary or transitional, atten tion will be confined in the present study to territorial juris diction and trade jurisdiction. Where it seems necessary to speak of what appears on the surface to be personal juris diction, it will be dealt with under one of the other two types, into one or the other of which all problems of control over persons must ultimately be resolved. Accordingly, the first and second chapters will be devoted to determining the territory and the trades over which the unions claim con trol and the following chapters will deal with the disputes arising from these claims. It will appear that one great class of disputes - dual union disputes - may arise from conflict in either of these two forms of jurisdiction claims.
