...EMERGING CHALLENGES TO THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA: FEDERAL STRUCTURE -ASHUTOSH SHANKAR INTRODUCTION India i.e. Bharat shall be a Union of States says Art. 1 of the Constitution of India. It is also stipulated in the Constitution that India i.e. Bharat shall be a Union of States and the territories and such other territories as may be acquired. The constitution thus, postulates India as a Union of States and consequently, the existence of the federal structure of governance for this Union of States becomes a basic structure of the Constitution of India. All the provisions made in this Constitution are, therefore, liable to be so interpreted as will protect, if not enhance, and certainly not destroy the basic structure namely federal structure of the Union of India. In this reference, adopting the test of Prof. Wheare wherein he says that “any definition of federal government which failed to include the United States would be thereby condemned as unreal.” Therefore, we need to see the condition prevailing in the U.S., the basic principles of federalism, and then in its light analyze the provisions of our Constitution. THE CONCEPT OF FEDERALISM ‘Federalism’ is one of those good echo words that evoke a positive response toward many concepts as democracy, progress, constitution, etc. The term has been seen to be applied to many successful combinations of unity with diversity, pluralism and cooperation within and among nations. When we elaborate upon the essential...

It is an area in which seemingly detailed provisions of the Constitution have not helped much. In the modern administrative age, administration plays a very significant role by way of enforcing the law of promoting socio-economic welfare of the people. The pattern of administrative relationship between the Centre and the State, therefore, assumes a great significance in developing country like India. The Indian Constitution contains more elaborate provisions regarding the administrative relation between the Centre and the States than are to be found in any of the three federation of the U.S.A., Canada and Australia. The Constitution lays down a flexible and permissive and not a rigid scheme of allocation of administrative responsibilities between the Centre and State. The scheme is so designed as to permit all kind of co-operative administrative arrangement between the two levels of Government. It is notable, however, that though legislative and judicial power is defined by the Constitution, this is not the case with...

...Labor Laws and Unions Sonny Williams HRM/531 9/17/2012 Dennis Cashman Abstract An organization can be unionized or not, but with not being unionized can cause some major problems, because the organization can have its own agenda to which it doesn’t want to be unionized or it could be that it wants to maintain fair law practices while being completely free of any collective bargaining agreement (CBA). In either case there are benefits and disadvantages to both. When thinking of a company that wasn’t unionized. The one that comes to mind was Whole Foods. A company that is ran by its employees and is one of the biggest co-ops running today. Whole foods, has created a huge market for organic foods and for the companies that make those foods. The carry the best products along with some of the best customer service around. I also loved that it was started on a borrowed $45k back in 1978 and the business sense in me loves that they have come this far. Whole Foods has many obstacles related to be on top of the organic foods industry. The fair practice laws and employees rallying for unionization can be tuff ones to over come. The fair market act makes Whole foods and other companies treat employees fair with benefits and minimum pay, so if whole foods is making eight hundred dollars a square foot, which well above the industry standard. This could be a problem for Whole foods, because they have always kept less of its employees at...

...This week’s case study tells us about Michael Bloomberg and the New York teachers union. It tells us that “In 2010, New York State passed a law that required its school districts to develop more stringent teacher-evaluation systems. Local school districts and their unions were assigned a task for specifying certain criteria of their new systems by January 17, 2013. New York City was going to receive benefits of $250 million in aid and another $200 million in grants if the agreement was reached on a new system, a 4% increase in state aid. However, as the January 17th deadline approached, Bloomberg and New York Teachers’ Union were not even close to reaching an agreement.” Our assignment wants us to design a strategy using a win-win situation for both parties and also to “Identify the four steps of Integrative Negotiation Process, and conduct analysis of how these four steps might help you in designing your negotiation strategy.” I am going to discuss the four steps of Integrative Negotiation and how they might help me in designing my negotiation strategy.” The first step is the compromiser, the one who always wants to split the difference, according to our lecture, this strategy works well when that statement is delivered at an appropriate time. However, the problem comes when the difference is split at the wrong moment and the end result is not a number or outcome that ultimately makes sense for one or both of the parties involved. . This step I will save for last in the...
