question / pregunta:
In or around 1966, Jane Daniel, a convicted robber, was sentenced to one to four years. One month later, her sentence was extended to 3.5 to 10 years, as stipulated by the 1913 Muncy Act (requiring judges to give women an indeterminate sentence if convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year). Had Jane Daniel been a male, the judge would have been allowed to give ‘him’ the one-to-four-year sentence. The Superior Court of PA denied that this was an infringement of her rights, stating that men’s and women’s inherent physical and psychological differences justified differential treatment. where would I find the full name and citation of the Superior Court decision? (There was a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision later, but I'm looking for the Superior Court decision) |

question / pregunta:
Does a Local Union have the right to work non union members? And in detail can you fully explain the answer to my question, for instance if yes please tell me exactly how it works like if you have a non union member work a show call and there wasn't a union member available is that OK? And are non union members allowed to work any shows for that matter. Can a union member force the union to work only union people? And if not available can non union members fill the call? When you go by the constitution by laws and have a trial against a member can a decision be made at the regional office with out hearing both sides of the trial? And once a member has been exspelled can the regional office force you to take them back after a majority voted them out? We would appreciate an answer to these question we really need an answer.

question / pregunta:
In her article about control units for women, Cassandra Shaylor states that the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that prisons are free to use political associations and beliefs to justify different and harsher treatment. (An earlier, unnamed and undated court decision determined that the placement of female political prisoners at the Lexington Federal Prison in Kentucky was unconstitutional because women were housed there because of their political beliefs. The court ordered them transferred and the unit shut down) Where would I find the name and date (and text, if possible, or more information if not) of this U.S. Court of Appeals decision?
