LABOR ARBITRATION AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WORKSHOP (LABR9102)
3 credits. Seminar.
Prerequisite: Labor Law or equivalent.

Students will participate in a collective bargaining project involving contract drafting and negotiation, with settlement required prior to a predetermined strike deadline and will also arbitrate a grievance arising under their executed agreements. The course materials deal with the theory and practice of bargaining strategy, arbitration process and procedure, and the subject matter of collective bargaining agreements: seniority, management rights, union security, wages, vacations, holidays, discharge, and discipline. In addition, students will make use of the tools of labor law research in drafting an arbitration brief.
