Long considered by labor law and dispute resolution professionals to be the standard text on labor arbitration, Elkouri & Elkouri: How Arbitration Works is the most comprehensive and authoritative treatise available on this subject. The reference of first resort, it has been relied upon and cited by advocates, arbitrators, and judges more than any other arbitration book published.
Under the guidance of Professor Alan Miles Ruben, more than 200 distinguished experts contributed to the Sixth Edition of this classic treatise. This edition incorporates all major developments of interest to labor relations practitioners and expands coverage to discuss dozens of new topics in depth. 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. No labor relations specialist, union representative, labor law attorney, professor, or arbitrator should be without it.
The 2008 Supplement includes analysis of arbitral retention of jurisdiction under the new AAA, FMCS, and NAA guidelines; a comprehensive review of standards followed in judicial review of arbitral awards; coverage of developments in arbitral consideration of statutes such as the NLRA, LMRA, OSHA, ADA, ADEA, FMLA, and Title VII in deciding grievances; and citations to over 1,000 new arbitration awards and judicial decisions.
The 2008 Supplement also discusses new topics including:
- Enforceability of Agreements to Waive Statutory Claims
- Use of Non-Lawyer Advocates and the Unauthorized Practice of Law
- Grievant’s Right to Appeal Denial of Grievance to Arbitration and Move to Vacate an Arbitration Award
- Applicability of Weingarten Rights in a Non-Unionized Workforce
- Employer Insurance Coverage for Employment Litigation
The Sixth Edition adds reference materials to 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.
