How and Why Labor Arbitrators Decide Discipline and Discharge Cases
Author: Laura J. Cooper
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book chapter summarizes the preliminary findings of what may be the most comprehensive collection of discipline and discharge arbitration decisions ever subject to systematic analysis. Since the early 1980s, arbitrators on Minnesota's Bureau of Mediation Services (BMS) roster have been required to file a copy of their decisions with the BMS regardless of the source or sector of their appointment. The authors of this chapter coded information concerning 2,055 discipline and discharge cases decided between 1982 and 2005, as well information about the arbitrators who decided those cases. The size of the data base and the large variety of coded survey items permits empirical testing of many assertions in the arbitration literature about the nature of discipline and discharge decision-making. In some respects, our findings support the conclusions in the literature about arbitral decision-making and in the empirical studies on which some of those conclusions were based, but in other respects our results challenge those statements and studies. These findings examine such issues as the impact of last chance agreements, burden of proof standards, the Seven Tests of Just Cause, and individual arbitrator characteristics, as well as the prevalence of reinstatement without back pay awards.

More Than We Have Ever Known about Discipline and Discharge in Labor Arbitration
Author: Laura J. Cooper
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781600424496
Category : Arbitration, Industrial
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
"This book is based on the comprehensive analysis of a uniquely large data set of published and unpublished labor arbitration decisions in discharge and discipline cases. In great detail, its authors coded more than two thousand decisions issued over a twenty four year period. They provide a rich array of data describing multiple aspects of each decision's arbitrator, grievant, and other case characteristics. The book's overarching focus is the arbitrator's decision (who wins, who loses and why) including unique comparisons of outcomes in discharge, as compared to discipline cases, and in private, as compared to public, sector cases. The book also reports on the relationship between the type of employee offense and outcomes, and the effect of attorney representation on case outcomes. Other relationships to arbitration decision making examined by the authors include the independent effects of last chance agreements, quantum of proof standards, job tenure, and the much debated 'Seven Tests of Just Cause'"--Publisher's website.

Labor & Employment Arbitration
Author: Floyd D. Weatherspoon
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781600422843
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 770
Book Description
This casebook presents material which both students and practitioners will find useful in analyzing, writing, and interpreting arbitration awards and cases. Unlike the traditional casebook, there are less theoretical concepts and historical developments. Instead, the book includes a broad collection of arbitration court cases and arbitration awards to analyze, followed by discussion questions, case problems, and summaries. Court cases and arbitration awards were selected which set forth clear and practical substantive and procedural arbitration principles. In addition, leading Supreme Court cases, which outline and identify federal common law rules and policies on arbitration, are included to illustrate the judicial process for establishing precedent and federal common arbitration laws. Similarly, a selected number of secondary readings, which should enhance the reader's understanding and application of specific arbitration concepts, are inserted to give the reader an immediate opportunity to synthesize a wealth of arbitration concepts and principles. The book is divided between labor and employment arbitration with a major emphasis on labor arbitration. The labor arbitration section provides a wide range of reoccurring labor issues such as, management rights, seniority, subcontracting, benefits, wages and hours, off duty conduct, and safety policies. Because disciplinary actions remain the dominant issue arbitrated, a significant amount of material is included on the "just cause" principles. Through arbitration awards, each element of the "just cause" principle is explained and analyzed. Aside from disciplinary issues, the book also covers issue grievances, which primarily involve contract interpretation. The last section of the book discusses the development of employment arbitration. This area of arbitration has rapidly expanded in the private sector. The catalyst for this expansion was caused in part by The Supreme Court's liberal interpretation of the Federal Arbitration Act and most recently, the validation of mandatory arbitration provisions in employment contracts. This section of the book includes the leading Supreme Court decisions on compulsory arbitration and the application of these cases on discrimination claims, employment statutes, and contract disputes. Floyd D. Weatherspoon is a Professor at Capital University Law School (Columbus, Ohio), where he has taught labor and employment related courses, including arbitration for more than twenty-five years. Professor Weatherspoon also serves as a neutral in complex commercial, labor, and employment disputes. He is nationally recognized as a highly experienced labor and employment arbitrator. He serves on a number of state and national arbitration rosters and panels, including the American Arbitration Association's Labor and Employment Panels, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service's Roster and the National Mediation Board's Arbitration Panel. In addition to serving as a labor and employment arbitrator, he has also served as a fact-finder in a number of labor contract disputes. Professor Weatherspoon is a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators, and serves on the Council of the American Arbitration Association.

Exit, Voice, and Loyalty
Author: Albert O. Hirschman
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674276604
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
An innovator in contemporary thought on economic and political development looks here at decline rather than growth. Albert O. Hirschman makes a basic distinction between alternative ways of reacting to deterioration in business firms and, in general, to dissatisfaction with organizations: one, “exit,” is for the member to quit the organization or for the customer to switch to the competing product, and the other, “voice,” is for members or customers to agitate and exert influence for change “from within.” The efficiency of the competitive mechanism, with its total reliance on exit, is questioned for certain important situations. As exit often undercuts voice while being unable to counteract decline, loyalty is seen in the function of retarding exit and of permitting voice to play its proper role. The interplay of the three concepts turns out to illuminate a wide range of economic, social, and political phenomena. As the author states in the preface, “having found my own unifying way of looking at issues as diverse as competition and the two-party system, divorce and the American character, black power and the failure of ‘unhappy’ top officials to resign over Vietnam, I decided to let myself go a little.”
