Labor law in state and local government is often characterized
as a patchwork of inconsistent and contradictory statutes. The
purpose of this book is to present the labor law in state
government in a concise and understandable manner. To date, there
has been no systematic treatise on the subject that is generally
applicable. The authors have collected and analyzed the laws of
each state that have enacted collective bargaining statutes.
Comparisons are drawn with the National Labor Relations Act and the
evidence suggests that there is a significant area of consistency,
suggesting that many jurisdictions have modelled their statutes
after the federal law; making only those modifications necessary to
local conditions. Rather than focus on minute details of specific
statutes, the authors have presented a general analysis of the
major aspects of the state collective bargaining laws.
The book begins with an introduction and overview of the states'
labor laws. An analysis of why states must act if collective
bargaining rights for public employees are to be protected is
presented together with an analysis of the political and economic
reasons for inconsistent treatment of public sector employees
collective bargaining rights. The discussion then turns to the
structure and functions of administrative law agencies, the rights
of employers and employees, the scope of bargaining, bargaining in
good faith, impasse resolution and its impact, and contract
enforcement and administration.
