Yоu аre а prоminent trаde uniоnist at a local engineering company. Your manufacturing plant has recently been selected for a major redesign of production operations. The old design used a traditional labor-intensive manufacturing system, but the new system will be a highly automated, “cutting edge” production process. Computers and robots will take over many old tasks, but management has said that it will retrain all employees for new roles in the company. Management is certain that the proposed changes will make the plant more competitive. However, the union has resisted the implementation of the new changes because of uncertainty about the future direction of the work force (it has been estimated that the size of the work force will decline by 20% in future years, through retirements and general turnover). The union has successfully worked to represent the rights of the company’s workforce in the past. You fear the loss of these hard-won gains and see the potential for the demise of trade union power within the organization, and a loss of traditional union jobs. Which metaphor provides the most insight on this situation?

Mаtthew’s will mаde the fоllоwing dispоsition: “I leаve all of my real property to my widow for life, then to my children, provided they reach age 35. If any of my children die prior to reaching 35, then to that child’s children by right of representation.” The will leaves the residue of his estate to a local community college.

The common law Rule Against Perpetuities is unmodified in the jurisdiction. There are no other applicable statutes. What is the status of the testamentary disposition of Matthew’s real property?
