James E. Bond is a Professor at Seattle University School of Law specializing in constitutional and labor law. His scholarly work focuses on the intersection between labor relations frameworks and fundamental constitutional protections.
His primary research interests include:
- Labor Law
- Constitutional Law
- First Amendment Rights
- Freedom of Association Principles
Professor Bond's research critically examines how labor legislation interacts with individual constitutional rights, particularly focusing on the tension between collective bargaining structures and personal associational freedoms.
His seminal work, The National Labor Relations Act and the Forgotten First Amendment (1977), analyzes how the exclusive representation rule impacts freedom of association rights. The article argues that this rule constitutes a significant interference with both employees' and employers' First Amendment rights without sufficient justification.
Professor Bond's analysis positions freedom of association as a fundamental right that government may limit only for the most compelling reasons and through the least intrusive means possible, suggesting the current labor relations framework fails to meet this constitutional standard.
