Hands-on and practical, this is your essential guide to the key elements to successful labor arbitration.
Before the hearing, during the hearing, and following the hearing--the Second Edition of How to Prepare and Present a Labor Arbitration Case is your essential guide to achieving winning results in arbitration. The author, a former employee relations executive and labor attorney, emphasizes the practical--not just theoretical--elements of success in arbitration. You'll go step-by-step through the process of handling a labor arbitration case and discover the most effective techniques for:
determining what needs to be proven
assembling the evidence
selecting the arbitrator
presenting the case in chief
dealing with objections
handling adverse witnesses
drafting posthearing briefs, and more
In addition to updating the First Edition, the Second Edition provides comprehensive and more useful coverage for practitioners with the inclusion of three new chapters. "Exploring Settlement" gives you practical suggestions for settling cases prior to hearing; "Blueprint of a Grievance Arbitration" follows an actual arbitration case and includes sections of the transcript of the hearing, post-hearing briefs, and the arbitrator's decision; and "Interest Arbitration and Other Arbitration Variants" reviews alternative forms of labor arbitration frequently used in public sector collective bargaining that require distinct approaches not found in grievance arbitration (including interest arbitration, med-arb, final offer selection, and fact finding.)
Detailed analysis and advice on formal arbitration procedures, plus sample statements and arguments, forms, checklists, a reading list, and more, will streamline your case preparation.
Refer to How to Prepare and Present a Labor Arbitration Case, Second Edition to get a clear view of how you can incorporate time-tested, winning tactics into your overall case strategy.
