Book Description
This is the first book on a crucial issue in human resource management. In recent years, employers have begun to require, as a condition of employment, that their nonunion employees agree to arbitrate rather than litigate any employment disputes, including claims of discrimination. As the number of employers considering such a requirement soars, so does the fear that compulsory arbitration may eviscerate the statutory rights of employees. Richard A. Bales explains that the advantages of arbitration are clear. Much faster and less expensive than litigation, arbitration provides a forum for the many employees who are shut out of the current litigative system by the cost and by the tremendous backlog of cases. On the other hand, employers could use arbitration abusively. Bales views the current situation as an ongoing experiment. As long as the courts continue to enforce agreements that are fundamentally fair to employees, the experiment will continue. After tracing the history of employment arbitration in the nonunion sector, Bales explains how employment arbitration has actually worked in the securities industry and at Brown & Root, a company with a comprehensive dispute resolution process. He concludes by summarizing the advantages, disadvantages, and policy implications of adopting arbitration as the preeminent method of resolving disputes in the American workforce.

Book Description
Over the years, international organisations' workforce has evolved and is now composed, in a large part, of individuals who do not hold the status of staff member but are de facto part of a contractual relationship of employment nature with these organisations. As a result, this category of individuals is barred from raising a claim against the organisation because they don't have access to remedies in place for staff members nor do they have access to national courts because of the principles of immunity of jurisdiction. This paper argues that creating an arbitration forum based on the concept of compulsory arbitration for the specific purpose of addressing claims of employment nature involving international organisations will afford a greater protection of the rights of this category of individuals and enable their access to justice.
