	Grandfather Clause -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the United States, a grandfather clause is an exception which allows something pre-existing to remain as it is, despite a change to the contrary in the rules applied to newer situations.
		It is often used as the verb "to grandfather" or alternatively, as "grandfather clause." Often, such a provision is used as a compromise, to effect new rules without upsetting a well-established physical or political situation.
		Grandfather clauses are limited by the logical contingencies that drive them; there's one in the US constitution about who can be elected president (it's not just the native born).

		Coch- ran, while she admitted of an incomplete recollection, re- called that the grandfathered clause was discussed in meetings at the worksite and that she was told that new employees and employees transferring into the business office would be covered by the union-security clause.
		The factors to consider In the instant case, although Cochran was aware in 1985 of her unit accretion and the existence of a contrac- tual union-security clause with a grandfather provision, there is no evidence that during the course of the events in question herein, she actively sought to evade a per- ceived union-security obligation.
		As was discussed supra, I have also found that Cochran had been sufficiently noti- fied of the existence of the union-security clause and the grandfather provisions so that she had a duty to inquire regarding the applicability of the exemption provisions of the grandfather clause to her transfer in 1985.

		This excerpt from the Louisiana law of 1898 was typical of many such restrictions.
