Designed specifically for labor management advocates and their
clients in the public sector, this book is a comprehensive yet
practical guide to the arbitration of grievances in public
employment. The authors, both experienced arbitrators themselves,
offer step-by-step advice on the preparation and presentation of
arbitration cases and provide a detailed description of effective
grievance resolution through the effective use of the grievance
procedure. Written in a style accessible to those without
substantial academic training in labor relations law, the volume's
purpose is to equip the practitioner to represent his or her
respective constituents effectively in the private system of
industrial jurisprudence. Although it focuses particularly on
grievance administration and arbitration in state and local
government, the concepts and techniques presented are equally
appropriate for those working in the federal or private
sectors.
Following an introduction, the authors review various state
bargaining statutes governing the arbitration of grievance disputes
and look at the grievance process as a prelude to arbitration. They
go on to examine the institution of arbitration, focusing primarily
upon the administrative agencies, the arbitrators, and the legal
environment within which labor relations advocates must work.
Subsequent chapters treat procedural and evidential issues common
to arbitration, the arbitration of discharge and disciplinary
matters, contract interpretation issues, and the decision making of
neutrals and what can or cannot reasonably be expected of
arbitrators. In their conclusion, the authors make the case for
rights arbitration as the preferred method of dispute resolution.
Five appendices contain information critical for the practitioner
not normally available in a single source: the Code of Professional
Responsibility for Arbitrators of Labor-Management Disputes; the
Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Procedures of
the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service; and sample
arbitration awards issued in real-life cases.
