How Arbitration Works Elkouri & Elkouri

How Arbitration Works by Elkouri & Elkouri

The book is, admittedly, geared toward labor law practice. However, the principles are the same in general arbitration. Labor arbitration and all other areas share a common history in the United States. This book is an essential for any arbitration advocate's library.

The classic text on labor arbitration.

Labor law and dispute resolution professionals have long considered this to be the standard text on labor arbitration. Written by specialists from the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law's Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Labor and Employment Law, this definitive resource benefits arbitrators, advocates, and scholars. The editors apply authoritative analysis of basic practice and procedure to integrate relevant laws and their impact on dispute resolution, collective bargaining, and related issues.

The Sixth Edition expands coverage to consider over one hundred new topics and updates the Fifth Edition with hundreds of recent arbitration awards and references to important judicial decisions, academic and professional commentary, administrative agency regulations and opinions, and federal and state legislation.

Due to the growing importance of public sector arbitration, separate chapters are devoted to federal labor arbitration issues, and state and local arbitration issues. The chapters on "Interpreting Contract Language" and "Evidence" have been thoroughly revised to reflect the trend of modern critical thought concerning issues such as ambiguity in contract interpretation, hearsay, and after-acquired evidence. Changing views on the availability of non-traditional remedies such as attorneys' fees and interest awards are reflected in a new chapter on "Remedies". And, because collective bargaining agreements increasingly incorporate federal and state statutory standards, the Sixth Edition contains an extended treatment of legislative regulations and judicial decisions that bear upon arbitration issues.

Extensive footnoting, a table of arbitrators, a complete table of arbitration awards, a table of cases, a table of statutory citations, and a helpful index will save you time finding vital information. In addition, topics in the chapters are identified by BNA's Labor Arbitration Reports Cumulative Digest Index (LA CDI) classification numbers, making it easier to do additional research in that reference service. (See related books, How ADR Works and Discipline and Discharge in Arbitration, both published by BNA Books.)

How Arbitration Works includes chapters on arbitration and its setting; legal status of arbitration in the private sector; scope of labor arbitration; the arbitration tribunal; grievances: prelude to arbitration; determining arbitrability; arbitration procedures and techniques; evidence; interpreting contract language; use of substantive rules of law; precedential value of arbitral awards; custom and past practice; management rights; seniority; discipline and discharge; safety and health; employee rights and benefits; remedies in arbitration; constitutional issues in public-sector arbitration; legal status of arbitration in the federal sector; issues in state and local government sector arbitration; and arbitration of interest disputes.

Employee's Guide to Law Joel

Every Employee's Guide to the Law by Lewin G. Joel

Excellent, informative and enjoyable read. This book is extremely well-written. It offers a wide spectrum of Employment Law. 

This book takes you through the whole process of the interview right through making the decision as to whether your rights have been violated and what to do if they have been. This is a very easy to read book done in a very thoughtful way exploring whether contesting an employers action is a smart decision to suing the hell out of them for a blatent violation of the law. This book is in a straightforward, easy to understand format and contains invaluable information for anyone who works.

This work of popular legal reference is similar in approach to Dan Lacey's Your Rights in the Workplace ( LJ 2/15/92). Like Lacey, labor lawyer Joel presents an employee's legal rights from the initial mating dance of the job interview to, as increasingly occurs, a messy divorce at termination. Joel sees a worker's best defense as a good offense: he suggests we each start compiling a "personal personnel file" from the moment we spot a seductive want ad, maintaining this paper trail to counter our bosses' documentation should the need arise. In a downright chatty style, Joel discusses over 100 strictures governing hours, wages, working conditions, discrimination, and related issues. He provides fuller coverage than Lacey of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. Joel also untangles the labyrinth of workers'-compensation rules, and aging baby boomers will appreciate his coverage of the age-discrimation law that protects the "Over Forties." A robust glossary, summaries of key legislation, and examples of real-life employment conflicts conclude the book. Recommended to libraries serving the legal research needs of the public.

Labor Law in Contemporary Workplace

Labor Law in the Contemporary Workplace by Robert J. Rabin

Labor law can be a very confusing subject, with a lot of overlapping statutes and complicated concepts that don't really fit anyplace else in the law. This text was perfect for taking a complete newcomer to labor law from neophyte to adolescent without too much stress. 

The social comentary was almost always enlightening also -- put the subject in a context of the real world. There are a lot of labor text books, many of them "classics." But this is a young, very modern look at a subject area that is much more appealing for the freshening.

This book prepares students for the practice of labor law in the contemporary workplace by introducing them to the basic principles of American labor law and many of the exciting issues that labor attorneys face. The book varies from existing casebooks in several respects.

First, the book is organized around contemporary problems as a means of teaching the core principles of labor law. Second, although the primary focus of the book is the National Labor Relations Act, considerable attention is given to the Railway Labor Act and public sector labor laws because of their growing relative importance in contemporary practice. Third, the book examines the intersection of the practice of labor law with anti-discrimination laws, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Finally, the book examines the problems of labor practice in the global economy and includes examples that touch on international problems and law.
