Description

Labor Arbitration Practice: An Advocate's Handbook Charles S Loughran ISBN 9781641058322

This handbook is designed to guide lawyers, as well as employer and union advocates without formal legal training, through the effective preparation and presentation of cases before a neutral arbitrator or arbitration panel. It walks readers through every stage of the labor arbitration process, emphasizing the advocate’s perspective and examining the strategies and tactics commonly used by seasoned practitioners in both case preparation and advocacy.

Written for union and management representatives alike, the book recognizes that the core skills and responsibilities of each advocate closely parallel one another. While union advocates typically represent the individual grievant(s) and the union, and employer advocates represent management, the practical steps involved in preparing and presenting an arbitration case are fundamentally the same for both sides. Accordingly, the book’s examples and practical guidance consistently reflect both union and employer viewpoints.

Although the focus is exclusively on labor arbitration, advocates may also encounter disputes in related forums, such as employment matters in non-union environments. In those situations, readers will still find much of the analysis and practical guidance in this book relevant and useful.
