Synopsis

Cases in Collective Bargaining and Industrial Relations contains 81 cases that vary in length, complexity and numbers of issues. A major objective of the book is to provide a means by which students can apply principles, concepts, and legal considerations to actual decision situations and confrontations between labor and management. These cases have been tested in seminars and classes, and are challenging, fascinating learning instruments. As in previous editions, the cases are divided into two parts. Part One presents National Labor Relations Board cases as restructured from published reports of the NLRB and court decisions. Part Two consists of cases adapted from grievance-arbitration decisions.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Part I case studies are NLRB cases that enable students to appreciate and develop understanding of the Labor Management Relations Act, it's application in numerous management situations, and the legal obligations of management and union representatives.
Part 2, Grievance Arbitration Cases cover a wide range of contemporary issues, including contractual interpretation, discipline and discharge matters, and conduct off the job. Students have found it challenging and insightful to be placed in the role of issue arbitrator. All Part 2 cases are 1980 and beyond.
All the cases focus upon current issues both in the private and public sectors.
The authors have included excellent, concise introductory material to the labor management relations act and to grievance arbitration.

More than 30 percent of the cases are new 27 of the 76 cases are completely new; many have been revised.
A completely new Instructor's Manual includes teaching notes for all the cases as well as additional classic cases that adopters can photocopy for classroom use.
