Bloomberg BNA Publishes 2012 NAA Annual Meeting Proceedings

Arlington, Va., July 2013—Bloomberg BNA today announces the publication of Arbitration 2012: Outside In: How the External Environment Is Shaping Arbitration, an authoritative and essential reference for understanding significant developments in labor and employment arbitration.

Arbitration 2012 explores the impact of recent societal forces on arbitration processes and outcomes. The papers collected in this volume, from the 2012 annual meeting of the National Academy of Arbitrators, address topics as diverse as social media issues in the workplace, resolving workplace disputes involving mental health issues, and the impact of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requirements on arbitration. Highlights of the volume include Roberta Golick’s Presidential Address, which discusses philosophies of the U.S. Supreme Court and their effect on the work of labor arbitrators; former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold’s Distinguished Speaker Address, which describes recent restrictions on public sector collective bargaining; and a Fireside Chat with arbitrator Richard I. Bloch. Additional chapters cover ethics and empathy in arbitration, controversial issues for advocates and for arbitrators, how non-union employment arbitrations are won and lost, and the interplay in Canada between arbitration proceedings and human rights tribunals.

The proceedings are available for sale directly from Bloomberg BNA and also will be available on the Bloomberg Law legal and business information system.
