Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First contract arbitration (FCA) provisions are posed as a solution to the difficulties of negotiating a first contract for newly certified bargaining units. FCA is a longstanding, and no longer controversial, element of Canadian labor legislation. FCA provisions now exist in six Canadian jurisdictions and four distinct FCA models have developed (the exceptional remedy or fault model, the automatic access model, the no-fault model, and the mediation intensive model). In the United States the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) included a highly contested proposal to amend the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to include an FCA provision similar to the Canadian automatic access model. This chapter offers a balanced assessment of FCA evidence from Canada addressing the main objections to FCA in the EFCA debates. Individual case level data from jurisdictions representing each of the four FCA models is examined. The evidence demonstrates that although FCA is widely available in Canada, it is an option that is rarely sought and, when sought, rarely granted; that parties involved in FCA are able to establish stable bargaining relationships; and, that this process does not, as critics charge, simply prolong the life of nonviable bargaining units. This chapter concludes by suggesting that the practice under Quebec's "no-fault" model and British Columbia's "mediation intensive" model merit consideration for adoption elsewhere. These models position the FCA process as a mechanism fostering collective bargaining and voluntary agreements, rather than treating it as a remedy for dysfunctional negotiations and as part of the unfair labor practice framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an empirical examination of the first contract arbitration model available in the province of British Columbia (B.C.), Canada, which features a unique focus on mediation as an alternative, preferred method for resolving first contract disputes. The B.C. model allows a mediator to issue non-binding recommendations for the terms of the first collective bargaining agreement, which are accorded considerable deference by subsequent arbitrators and courts. The key goal of this model is to establish first collective bargaining agreements and enduring bargaining relationships without resorting to arbitration. The assumption underlying this model is that agreements voluntarily reached by the parties, even with the assistance of a mediator, better achieve this goal than arbitration. Through data analysis and interviews with key participants in the B.C. model, this study empirically tests the validity of this assumption and the impact of mediator's recommendations. The data confirm that parties who accept the mediator's recommendations are the most likely to obtain a first collective bargaining agreement (at 97.4%) and be in a current bargaining relationship (at 82.1%).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the effects of a major labor law reform package in the Canadian province of Ontario on the negotiation of first agreements for newly certified bargaining units using a quasi-experimental research design. The findings indicate that first contract success rates were 8-14 percentage points higher under the regime that included automatic first contract arbitration relative to the comparison regime of “no-fault” first contract arbitration, despite imposition rates being only 2-4 percentage points higher. Further, in the more hostile-to-labor regime, only 38 percent of petitions ultimately reached a first agreement despite the presence of quick-votes, and “no-fault” first contract arbitration.

Book excerpt: In 1978, Fleck Manufacturing Plant was the site of one of the most notorious and bitter strikes in Ontario labour history. The strike, which occurred shortly after the employees unionized, illustrates the precariousness of labour disputes between employers and unions in the early stages of their relationship. This work focuses on first contract arbitration as a method of resolving similar labour-management conflicts. The author explores how other remedies in labour disputes are unsatisfactory in cases where an employer refuses to bargain in good faith for a first collective agreement.

This book was released on 2011-05-11 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barack Obama’s famous “Blueprint for Change,” part and parcel of the campaign that culminated in his historic election as U.S. president in November 2008, openly announced his support for the Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 1409) suggesting that major change was imminent in U.S. labor and employment law. Although promised legislative change has yet to materialize, there appears to be a growing consensus that the current system for addressing employment disputes in union-represented and non-union workplaces deserves renewed attention and needs significant restructuring. Thus, the issues taken up by this prominent U.S. conference remain relevant to policy debates which will likely continue to rage in the United States for years to come. Based on papers delivered at the 2009 conference of the New York University School of Law’s Center on Labor and Employment Law – the 62nd in this venerable and highly influential series – the book presents articles updated by the authors to reflect more recent developments, as well as new papers to ensure a comprehensive and current analysis of both what has actually changed and which trends seem to be gaining momentum. Twenty-two outstanding scholars and practitioners in U.S. labor law and practice pay special attention to such issues as the following: mandatory arbitration of employment disputes in non-union sector; call for improved administration of the National Labor Relations Act in expediting elections and reinstating discriminatees; more privatized forms of dispute resolution such as arbitration and mediation; card-check and neutrality agreements bypassing government processes; proposed reform of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; evaluating market-based defenses to pay equity claims; EEOC initiatives in public enforcement of equality law; and challenges to labor relations in state and local governments.
