The Difference

This paper will deal with the reinstatement of wrongfully dismissed employees in the Israeli law of collective bargaining. According to the current state of Israeli labor law, this question is connected with many other issues, such as the difference between individual and collective disputes (a problem most exhaustively developed in the law of strikes), the ability of an individual employee to enforce rights deriving from a collective agreement and the application of the regular contracts remedies law to collective agreements. We begin with the collective agreement and its administration.Israel's Collective Agreements Law of 1957 exhibits an intriguing amalgam of American and continental influences. From America the act borrowed the concept of an exclusive bargaining representative. It was contemplated that in aspecialcollective agreement between a labor organization and a single employer or in ageneralcollective agreement between a labor organization and an employers' association,onelabor organization only would be entitled to enter into the collective agreement — the labor organization with the largest union membership. An agreement made by such a representative labor organization would directly bind all employees in the plant or trade covered by the agreement, whether members of the representative labor organization or not.

International Capital Movement

The paper deals with the past, current and future situation in Russian capital outflow and inflow. The specific features of the past situation (2001-2013) were as follows: big scale of Russian participation in international capital movement; turnover of national capital between Russia and offshores; stable surplus of capital outflow over inflow; inadequacy of industrial structure of capital inflow to Russian needs. The current situation is characterized by such new features as radical cut in volumes of capital outflow and inflow, some decrease in its level of offshorization. In the mid-term the probability of continuation of current trends is high. In the long-term the mode of Russian participation in international capital movement will prima facie depend on prospects of realization of systematic reforms in the Russian economy.

The Given

With the advent of artificial agents in everyday life, it is important that these agents are guided by social norms and moral guidelines. Notions of obligation, permission, and the like have traditionally been studied in the field of Deontic Logic, where deontic assertions generally refer to what an agent should or should not do; that is they refer to actions. In Artificial Intelligence, the Situation Calculus is (arguably) the best known and most studied formalism for reasoning about action and change. In this paper, we integrate these two areas by incorporating deontic notions into Situation Calculus theories. We do this by considering deontic assertions as constraints, expressed as a set of conditionals, which apply to complex actions expressed as GOLOG programs. These constraints induce a ranking of "ideality" over possible future situations. This ranking in turn is used to guide an agent in its planning deliberation, towards a course of action that adheres best to the deontic constraints. We present a formalization that includes a wide class of (dyadic) deontic assertions, lets us distinguish prima facie from all-things-considered obligations, and particularly addresses contrary-to-duty scenarios. We furthermore present results on compiling the deontic constraints directly into the Situation Calculus action theory, so as to obtain an agent that respects the given norms, but works solely based on the standard reasoning and planning techniques.

Union Decline

This note reports our n1ost recent survey of unions and union membership in New Zealand for the year ended 31 December 1994. It builds on our earlier surveys for the 31 December years for 1991, 1992 and 1993 (Harbridge and Hince, 1993a, 1993b; Harbridge, Hince and Honeybone. 1994). In last year's report, we suggested that union decline may have "bottomed out". The 1994 data does not support that suggestion. Unions have lost a further 33,000 men1bers in the most recent year, while the nun1ber of unions operating has increased by 15.
