The eighth edition of this
best-selling book continues to provide readers with a realistic picture
of actual collective bargaining and labor relations situations drawn
from the authors' considerable experiences. Sections of actual labor
agreements as well as arbitration cases and decisions of the National
Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the courts illustrate and emphasize
contemporary issues of collective bargaining and labor relations.
Experts in the fields of labor law and arbitration have contributed
“tips” on how the concepts in the book can actually be
applied. In addition to covering history and law, workplace
challenges, the collective bargaining process, and labor contracts,
major features of this new edition include expanded coverage of public
sector labor relations, international collective bargaining issues,
union organizing and avoidance strategies, and collective bargaining in
professional sports. Because of its comprehensive coverage and
excellent resource material, this book is an excellent reference for
human resource directors, labor relations directors, personnel
directors, and labor negotiators.
