Professor Tang writes in Washington Post about implications of Cedar Point case
Professor Aaron Tang wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post on Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid. The Supreme Court heard oral argument on the case on March 22. Writes Tang: “Although the case itself concerns a mundane California agricultural regulation, a decision could threaten fundamental laws governing organized labor, child safety, nursing-home inspections — and even laws forbidding stores and restaurants from discriminating.”
The respondent in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid is UC Davis Law alumna Victoria Hassid '10, chair of the Agricultural Labor Relations Board.
