With contributions by more than 200 distinguished experts, the Sixth Edition covers the most current, critical topics for labor relations practitioners. It also provides citations to 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. The reference of first resort, it has been relied on and cited by advocates, arbitrators, and judges more than any other arbitration book published.
The new 2010 Cumulative Supplement to Elkouri & Elkouri: How Arbitration Works, Sixth Edition updates the main volume in general, as well as covering new information including:
- The 2009 Supreme Court decision in 14 Penn Plaza v. Pyett, discussing the holding that parties may agree to waivers requiring employees to have employment discrimination claims arbitrated in lieu of court action; the implication of the decision in various areas of labor arbitration law, such as whether labor arbitrators should rule on issues of statutory law; and whether appeals from awards are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Arbitration Act
- Neutrality/card-check agreements
- Retiree health insurance
- Zero-tolerance policies for workplace violence
- Awards relating to grievances involving sexual activities in and out of the workplace, and use of the Internet and e-mail for sexual and non-work purposes
Elkouri & Elkouri: How Arbitration Works offers reference materials that enhance the usefulness of the volume. A table of all arbitration awards discussed in text or cited in footnotes has been included. There is also a table of arbitrators that can be used to research references to a particular arbitrator cited in the book. A table of statutory authorities also has been provided. In addition, topics in the chapters are identified by BNA's Labor Arbitration Reports (LA) classification numbers, making it easier to do additional research in that reference service. As in past editions, there is a table of cases, which now includes not only court cases but also, for the first time, administrative cases, plus a comprehensive index.
