ADR in the Workplace

For more than fifty years, arbitration has resolved disputes for workers represented by unions. Today, arbitration, mediation & other forms of alternative dispute resolution are largely replacing litigation as the means of resolving all kinds of employment disputes in a variety of workplaces. The process of dispute resolution fundamentally alters the role of the advocate & even the definition of the employee's legal rights. This textbook is the successor to Cooper & Nolan's Labor Arbitration: A Coursebook. The new book updates its predecessor's comprehensive coverage of labor arbitration & adds new material on alternative dispute resolution of statutory & common law employment rights of nonunion employees. Mediation & arbitration simulations are included in the Teacher's Manual to help supplement the textbook.
