Download or read book More Than We Have Ever Known about Discipline and Discharge in Labor Arbitration written by Laura J. Cooper and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is based on the comprehensive analysis of a uniquely large data set of published and unpublished labor arbitration decisions in discharge and discipline cases. In great detail, its authors coded more than two thousand decisions issued over a twenty four year period. They provide a rich array of data describing multiple aspects of each decision's arbitrator, grievant, and other case characteristics. The book's overarching focus is the arbitrator's decision (who wins, who loses and why) including unique comparisons of outcomes in discharge, as compared to discipline cases, and in private, as compared to public, sector cases. The book also reports on the relationship between the type of employee offense and outcomes, and the effect of attorney representation on case outcomes. Other relationships to arbitration decision making examined by the authors include the independent effects of last chance agreements, quantum of proof standards, job tenure, and the much debated 'Seven Tests of Just Cause'"--Publisher's website.
