Featured Study Aids
Labor Law (Concepts & Insights)
Available via the West Academic Study Aid subscription, this one-volume, concise treatise on labor law explains the analytical structure that governs how employees form workplace organizations and bargain over the terms and conditions of employment. It covers new forms of labor organizing, such as the corporate campaign, card check/neutrality agreements, and worker centers. It is designed to complement leading labor law casebooks with analysis of the principal decisions, context, and social justice policy.
Labor and Employment Arbitration in a Nutshell
Available via the West Academic Study Aid subscription, this text focuses on the fundamentals of the labor and employment arbitration process and explores the major arbitration law issues, their importance, and the conflicting opinions on them. It provides a description of the origin, development, and practice of labor and employment arbitration.
Understanding Labor Law
Available via the LexisNexis Digital Library, this Understanding text examines the multifaceted and complex law of private-sector Labor Law. Because Understanding Labor Law focuses on relations between management and labor in the private sector, it deals primarily with the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, and its interpretation and application by the federal courts and the National Labor Relations Board. The book is organized in a format that is consistent with the organization of most Labor Law courses. At the end of each chapter is a section titled “Chapter Highlights,” summarizing some of the major doctrines discussed in the chapter.
