Labor Relations in the Public Sector

Labor Relations in the Public Sector

This outstanding test provides the requisite coverage of public labor relations and collective bargaining, blending empirical research with contemporary influences and trends for a comprehensive, uniquely relevant examination of this changing field. Spanning all levels of government, this practical, in-depth monograph explores the major concerns of both labor and management in the current bargaining environment. The differences between public and private sector unionization and collective bargaining... the complex effect of recent economic trends, including the taxpayer revolt and ensuing government fiscal difficulties... and bargaining impacts, the current legal environment, political interactions, and much more. Cohesive, authoritative, and up to the minute- this penetrating work is an exceptionally qualified text for graduate and upper-level undergraduate public administration, political science, and industrial relations courses such as public sector labor relations, public personnel administration, problems in public administration, collective bargaining, industrial relations and public sector unionization. Furthermore, this insightful volume is essential for the job reference for government personnel managers and specialists in labor relations, labor law, and industrial relations.
