商品簡介
This text presents a comprehensive overview of the core elements of union-management relations. It's organized into four major sections that cover the rights and responsibilities of both unions and management, the bargaining process and outcomes, on-going administration of labor contracts, and applications of the labor relations process in different labor relations systems. More specific topics include an overview of labor history, the origins of labor-law, union-organizing tactics, technological displacement, grievance arbitration and investigations, collective bargaining, and multinational corporations. Intended for classroom use, this tenth features up-to-date information about unions, NLRB processes, wage and benefit trends, right-to-work legislation, more attention to ethical issues, consideration of international labor, and real world applications. Each highly structured chapter contains several teaching modules, case-studies, and web-based and class-room exercises. The contributors are current and former professors of labor relations and management, some with decades of background in union arbitration.
