Synopsis
This comprehensive textbook provides an introduction to collective bargaining and labor relations with a focus on developments in the United States. It is appropriate for students, policy analysts, and labor relations professionals including unionists, managers, and neutrals. A three-tiered strategic choice framework unifies the text, and the authors' thorough grounding in labor history and labor law assists students in learning the basics. In addition to traditional labor relations, the authors address emerging forms of collective representation and movements that address income inequality in novel ways. Harry C. Katz, Thomas A. Kochan, and Alexander J. S. Colvin provide numerous contemporary illustrations of business and union strategies. They consider the processes of contract negotiation and contract administration with frequent comparisons to nonunion practices and developments, and a full chapter is devoted to special aspects of the public sector. An Introduction to U.S. Collective Bargaining and Labor Relations has an international scope, covering labor rights issues associated with the global supply chain as well as the growing influence of NGOs and cross-national unionism. The authors also compare how labor relations systems in Germany, Japan, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa compare to practices in the United States. The textbook is supplemented by a website (ilr.cornell.edu/scheinman-institute) that features an extensive Instructor's Manual with a test bank, PowerPoint chapter outlines, mock bargaining exercises, organizing cases, grievance cases, and classroom-ready current events materials.

Newspapers & Magazines
What struck me most about this work is that it steers clear of the case-method approach common in many legal textbooks. Instead, the authors offer a more explanatory review of the topics discussed, using case studies throughout to illustrate concepts of particular interest. The result is a work that is highly substantive, yet accessible to a wide audience. This book works equally well as a reference tool for those familiar with labor relations and an introduction for the uninitiated. * Monthly Labor Review * For a continental European academic, this text not only offers a thorough and wellbalanced introduction into the US system of collective bargaining and industrial relations but also into the superstructure and the theoretical framework that underpins it. And it is actually a pleasure to read and therefore comes highly recommended. * British Journal of Industrial Relations *
