Main Volume Information
Long considered by labor law and dispute resolution professionals to be the standard text on labor arbitration, Elkouri & Elkouri: How Arbitration Works is the most comprehensive and authoritative treatise available on this subject. The reference of first resort, it has been relied on and cited by advocates, arbitrators, and judges more than any other arbitration book published.
Under the guidance of Professor Alan Miles Ruben, and with the contributions of more than 200 distinguished experts, the Sixth Edition incorporates major points of interest to labor relations practitioners and in-depth coverage of the most current, critical topics. It also provides citations to hundreds of recent arbitration awards and references to important judicial decisions, academic and professional commentary, administrative agency regulations and opinions, and federal and state legislation. No labor relations specialist, union representative, labor law attorney, professor, or arbitrator should be without it.
Elkouri & Elkouri: How Arbitration Works offers reference materials that enhance the usefulness of the volume. A table of all arbitration awards discussed in text or cited in footnotes has been included. There is also a table of arbitrators that can be used to research references to a particular arbitrator cited in the book. A table of statutory authorities also has been provided. In addition, topics in the chapters are identified by BNA’s Labor Arbitration Reports (LA) classification numbers, making it easier to do additional research in that reference service. As in past editions, there is a table of cases, which now includes not only court cases but also, for the first time, administrative cases, plus a comprehensive index.
