Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining: Cases , Practice, and Law, Seventh Edition

by Michael R. Carrell, Christina Heavrin

The seventh edition of this best-selling book continues to provide readers with a realistic picture of actual collective bargaining and labor relations situations drawn from the authors' considerable experiences. Sections of actual labor agreements as well as arbitration cases and decisions of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the courts illustrate and emphasize contemporary issues of collective bargaining and labor relations. Experts in the fields of labor law and arbitration have contributed “tips” on how the concepts in the book can actually be applied. In addition to covering history and law, workplace challenges, the collective bargaining process, and labor contracts, major features of this new edition include expanded coverage of public sector labor relations, international collective bargaining issues, union organizing and avoidance strategies, and collective bargaining in professional sports. Because of its comprehensive coverage and excellent resource material, this book is an excellent reference for human resource directors, labor relations directors, personnel directors, and labor negotiators.

Much more interesting than I thought it would be, but I'd have never chosen to read this for pleasure.

A very detailed insight into labor and management collective bargaining agreement contracts, NLRA, and federal laws affecting labor relations. Interesting reading.
