The book is succinct, comprehensive and a practical introduction to the use of arbitration and ADR, written by leading practitioners and scholars. The Handbook begins with chapters on specific issues related to labor arbitration, including an analysis of factors present in challenged and vacated arbitration awards, job discrimination claims under collective bargaining agreements, and ambiguities in labor contracts. The practitioner is provided with information regarding labor arbitration procedures, including a discussion of the rules of evidence, grievance processing, public policy exceptions to labor arbitration awards, and Weingarten rights in the non-union workplace. Among the topics discussed are what arbitrators should know about arbitral immunity, suggestions for labor arbitration advocates, award writing, and how unions can improve their success rate in labor arbitrations. Lastly, this book addresses judicial review of labor arbitrations.
