Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arbitration, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution now have largely replaced litigation as the means of resolving all kinds of employment disputes in a variety of workplaces. These dispute resolution processes fundamentally alter the advocate s role and even the definition of employee legal rights. Disputes involving unionized workers have been resolved in arbitration for more than fifty years, but increasingly the process is being adapted to address the statutory and common law rights of nonunion employees. Issues such as employment discrimination that earlier would have been litigated are often now resolved in mediation. This textbook uses essays, arbitration awards, and court decisions to bring to the classroom the reality of contemporary workplace decision-making. It comprehensively addresses the substance and procedure for arbitration, mediation, and other dispute resolution mechanisms. The employment arbitration materials, in particular,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the explosion of workplace litigation and the skyrocketing costs associated with it, employers in both the private and public sectors are seeking new ways to swiftly and inexpensively resolve disputes with their employees. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures offer ways to do this and, according to recent reports, more than 100 major corporations have made use of them. Not only are the costs of trying a workplace dispute before a jury avoided, but also due process requirements have been observed. McDermott and Berkeley introduce executives to ADR, how it's done, and its benefits. This book will be interesting and important reading for executives and for legal counsel that may be unfamiliar with ADR. The reader is first introduced to the employment litigation revolution that is sweeping the country. The authors explain the various contextual factors that have caused this rise in litigation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1993, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1990, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Given this new legal environment, the book explores how ADR can assist an employer in avoiding or reducing the costs of employment law litigation. The subject of ADR is divided into mandatory and nonmandatory procedures. Finally, the authors discuss how an employer can introduce a binding arbitration procedure that diverts employment litigation from a jury to an arbitrator. Drafting tips and model clauses are included should an organization seek to develop a mediation procedure, arbitration procedure, or both.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guide for Policy and Practice This book offers a road map to dramatically reduce workplace conflict and legal costs. ADR is a revolutionary trAnd that offers the potential for resolving disputes in a fair and reasonable manner, at tremAndous savings to everyone involved. On behalf of consumers, businesses, and ordinary Americans trapped in a liability logjam, bravo Dunlop and Zack! --Jerry J. Jasinowski, president, National Association of Manufacturers For many employers and employees alike, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) offers clear advantage over recourse to a legal system compromised by staggering case loads, Andless appeals, and high litigation costs. Indeed, ADR may prove the best hope for the equitable, affordable, and expeditious adjudication of employment dispute claims. Now, two of the people most responsible for the adoption of due process arbitration standards--standards that finally gave ADR real teeth--take a comprehensive look at due process arbitration in practice and offer policy guidelines, as well as an action plan for establishing mediation and arbitration as the cornerstones of any dispute resolution system.

Book excerpt: The redress system for federal workers was designed to protect employees against arbitrary agency actions and prohibited personnel practices, such as discrimination or retaliation for whistleblowing. The redress system is inefficient, time consuming, and costly, however, and several federal agencies have been exploring alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as a way to lessen these burdens. Asked to review ADR as a substitute for inefficient and costly formal dispute resolution systems for federal workers, GAO found that private companies generally used a wider variety of ADR methods than did federal agencies. Of the private firms that reported using ADR, about 80 percent used mediation, about 39 percent used peer review panels, and about 19 percent used arbitration. Most federal agencies using ADR relied on mediation alone. Organizations using ADR generally found it to be successful in resolving disputes, thus avoiding litigation or more formal dispute resolution processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Managing Workplace Conflict critically analyses Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Australian workplaces. It includes coverage of: various ADR techniques and the roles played by ADR practitioners in workplace conflict; the need for workplace grievance policies and the forms these can take; the suitability of ADR for various types of disputes; the effects of the Work Choices Act 2005 (Cth) on dispute resolution; and three case studies where ADR was utilised in workplace conflict and the experiences of both the human resource consultant and their clients. Managing Workplace Conflict is written against the background of a rapidly changing Australian labour market. It argues that ADR in the Australian workplace needs to be conducted with an understanding of the changed industrial relations environment and the power differences between key workplace stakeholders, as well as commitment to ethical practice and workplace justice. It presents the key concepts central to the practice of ADR in Australia and provides a practical, useable reference book for both the professional and the student." -- back cover

This book was released on 1999 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have the speed, informality, and low cost of the grievance and arbitration system deteriorated? Has the system become too adversarial? Has it lost its problem-solving character? This book examines the nature and degree of change in workplace dispute resolution in the context of ongoing changes in work and in labor relations.The volume begins with an editors' introduction that provides context and offers a political perspective on the current state of dispute resolution in the workplace. The chapters that follow contain critiques of the existing legal framework surrounding mandatory arbitration in the nonunion sector and a review of the empirical literature on nonunion dispute resolution. Employment Dispute Resolution and Worker Rights in the Changing Workplace includes sections on grievance mediation, the status of the grievance procedure in workplaces with extensive worker and/or union participation in decision making, and high-performance workplaces. The study concludes with trends in dispute resolution in the public sector and with the alternative dispute resolution system commonly practiced in the unionized construction industry.
