Unions are jealous of their jurisdictional boundaries, both when there is real or perceived threat from another labor union or possible assumption of bargaining unit work by supervisory personnel. Regarding this latter possibility, some unions may attempt to protect against erosion of members jobs by negotiating into the collective agreement a clause dealing with the circumstances under which a supervisor may perform bargaining unit work. Performance of bargaining unit work by supervisors, arbitrators must determine if the work involved was actually bargaining unit work and if it is found that the work in question belongs to certified employees, the circumstances under which it was performed; whether there was contract language covering the situation or not, the parties prior practices, if any as well as other possible equitable issues. A clause restricting supervisors from performing bargaining unit work is probably advantageous from a union's point of view, as it eliminates sole reliance on the more general recognition clause.

Such policies are normally enforced through drug testing. When a test result is above a pre-established threshold for marijuana, employees have, at times, claimed that the result was invalid due to passive inhalation of marijuana smoke. Passive inhalation of marijuana smoke is usually understood to mean that an employee has inadvertently, rather than deliberately, ingested marijuana because of exposure to another person(s) who is actually smoking it. One purpose of this paper is to review state and federal court cases, as well as those occurring in labor arbitration, to determine what standards are being used to assess when or if the passive inhalation defense is viable. Another purpose was to review available medical/scientific literature to see whether the legal standards being used by the courts and arbitrators are appropriate. It is our belief that this review of both the applicable case law and the relevant medical/scientific studies is the first of its kind. Searches in the Westlaw data bases revealed a total of 26 state court cases and 29 federal district and circuit court cases where the passive inhalation defense was mentioned. The earliest case was in 1987, and the most recent one was decided in 1998.

The primary responsibility of the labor or management advocate is that of persuasion. Presuming that the grieving party is the union, which is generally the case, the union advocate must persuade management or, ultimately, an arbitrator that the collective bargaining agreement has been breached and that the dispute is arbitrable. A management advocate must persuade the union or, ultimately, an arbitrator that no contract violation has occurred or that the matter is inarbitrable. Or, if the advocate thinks that the union's claim has merit and that settlement is advisable, the advocate must persuade the employer of that fact and of reasonable terms of settlement. There are no pre-qualifications for people to become advocates. Nevertheless, achieving persuasiveness demands intelligence, diligence, and, above all, the methodical development of a theory of the case, meaning the facts and arguments that will persuade others of one's position.

JO - Labor Law Journal JF - Labor Law Journal Y1 - 1999///Summer99 VL - 50 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 83 EP - 96 PB - CCH Incorporated SN - 00236586 AB - The article introduces the bucket bargaining model of interest-based labor bargaining. Bucket bargaining expands the one-step supposition. Its premise is that since issues vary substantially, they cannot all be bargained by a one-step process. Issues are processed through the steps beginning at step one, screening, then to step two, bucket bargaining, and finally if unresolved to step three, final reconciliation. The three step bucket bargaining model is interest based. Select an issue and subject it to the interest based process, then select a second issue and subject it to the same interest based process and so forth until all issues are bargained. There are five basic types of issues that are potential topics for bargaining. These are minor issues, post problem issues, change issues, discussion issues and economic issues. One-step interest based bargaining uses the following uniform processes for all of these issue types. First, frame the issue as joint problem solving. Second, focus on interests, not positions. Third, generate solution options which satisfy interests. Fourth, apply objective criteria to the options. And fifth, jointly develop a mutual gain resolution.

They are not responsible for enforcing laws. Their proper role is to effectuate the intent of the parties as manifested in the collective bargaining agreement. There appears to be, at this point in time, no legal reason that arbitrators cannot consider the external law, assuming that certain conditions are met. The crucial factor appears to be whether or not the parties' collective bargaining agreement permits arbitral review of statutory matters or requires that contract terms be consistent with statutory provisions. If it so provides, there is no legal impediment for an arbitrator to apply external law. If, on the other hand, it is not clear whether the parties' collective agreement permits arbitral review of law, it is uncertain whether the arbitrator or the courts should be responsible for resolving the interpretation question. At the present time, there is some division in the circuit courts as to whether or not a mandatory arbitration clause precludes a lawsuit.

The author notes that growing dissatisfaction with the American legal system has been the catalyst to much of the development in the ADR arena. Arbitration as a system of third-party dispute resolution has been used in labor relations, construction, and commercial affairs for many years. It is important to remember that the arbitration procedure in these situations arose by parties wanting to resolve contractual disputes quickly and cheaply, without resorting to the courts. Unlike the mediation process in which the parties retain their authority to settle cases, these ADR decision-making processes involve a neutral third party actually rendering a decision on the matter before it. Whether the decision is formal or informal, binding or advisory, a third party makes a determination on the merits of the case.

JO - Labor Law Journal JF - Labor Law Journal Y1 - 1997/01// VL - 48 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 29 PB - CCH Incorporated SN - 00236586 AB - A criticism often made of arbitrators is their real or imagined proclivity for splitting decisions. Split decisions are not uncommon in discipline cases because arbitrators generally exercise the right to modify a penalty that under the circumstances is found to be too severe. An arbitrator's authority to modify a penalty can also work to the detriment of the grievant. Arbitrators have found reasons to deprive an employee of back pay during the period since his termination notwithstanding the arbitrator's finding that there was not just cause for discharge. In order to prevent such anomalies, the contractual parties may limit an arbitrator's authority to modify a disciplinary penalty. However, such limitations can also produce less than ideal results. They may create a situation where a discharge is upheld under circumstances that do not justify such a severe penalty. Although language limiting an arbitrator's remedial powers is unusual in most labor agreements, the Communications Workers of America has negotiated such language in several of its contracts dating back to the 1950s. The language permits the arbitrator to uphold the penalty imposed by management or to sustain the grievance but does not allow the arbitrator to substitute a reduced disciplinary penalty.

JO - Labor Law Journal JF - Labor Law Journal Y1 - 1996/08// VL - 47 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 484 PB - CCH Incorporated SN - 00236586 AB - Conflictive Partnership is a real world alternative to the traditional, adversarial model and equally a more realistic alternative to the cooperative model which sounds good but can not easily work. The traditional model worked in the past, at least in part, because the parties could take labor costs out of competition. With the internationalization of the marketplace, the old model could not easily adapt to the competitive pressures, and those companies arid unions that could not adapt to their changed environment failed. The nation is littered with shuttered industrial plants that stand in silent testimony to the inability to adapt. It is therefore imperative that our traditional adversarial labor-management relations change in order to adapt to the new economic order. This is already beginning to happen, especially among leaders in sectors of the economy where economic competition is most fierce. External pressures have forced labor and management to reexamine their relationships and question whether their old ways of doing business are still relevant in our increasingly competitive world. Examples on this frontier of experimentation can be found in the automobile, rubber steel, chemical, textile, tobacco, telecommunications and airline industries.

SN - 00197939 AB - This analysis of 481 negotiations in Michigan over the period 1987- 91 suggests that fundamental changes may have occurred recently in collective bargaining in small firms. Only 33% of the negotiations conformed to the traditional model of arm's-length collective bargaining; the balance involved either highly contentious or highly cooperative relations. Further, in only one-sixth (17%) of the cases was the contract settled within one week before or after the contract expiration. Delays were more common and longer in negotiations in which settlements were implemented unilaterally by management over labor's objections than in cases involving strikes. Concessions figured prominently in the majority of the negotiations in the sample, with a shift from wage to benefit concessions occurring during the period examined.

The structures of bargaining described reflect an endeavour by the parties concerned to overcome the deficiencies in the majoritarian and in the all-comers systems of union recognition and representation. The paper considers the motivation of the parties that adopted the multi-union constitutions and the degree to which their interests have been realized in the new bargaining structures. It concludes by making certain tentative suggestions concerning the relevance of the structures as a possible model for organizations, both inside and outside South Africa, in which the traditional all-comers or majoritarian systems of union recognition do not adequately meet the interests of the employer and the employees.

JO - Labor Law Journal JF - Labor Law Journal Y1 - 1994/12// VL - 45 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 771 PB - CCH Incorporated SN - 00236586 AB - There is no question that the 1980s and 1990s brought new problems and potential solutions to the work place. These problems are bringing new demands on the collective bargaining system. The collective bargaining system will respond, as it always has, to the peculiar demands of the workplace and the global economy. If one takes a look at labor history, one can see the changing interests of the collective bargaining process. One should recall that in the early 1900s, unions were opposed to unemployment insurance, mainly because they wanted the union control of the unemployed. In the 1930s, collective bargaining focused on simple recognition: sit down strikes, slow downs and other techniques were the order of the clay. During World War U, with the ad- vent of both the war effort and the War Labor Board, which effectively set wages and working conditions, there was a period of labor peace.' During the period immediately following World War II, coming off the modest (if any) wage increases during World War II, unions became extremely militant to "catch up" with lost wage increases. Many strikes occurred. S Throughout the period following World War II up until 1980, the struggle between companies and unions was simply a struggle to change the makeup of the pie. Unions wanted more money; companies wanted to increase profits. Competition was not an issue, except with other companies who were unionized and paying similar competitive rates. Today, survival of the company has become a real issue, leading to different considerations for both the company and union. Unlike the "old" days, companies and unions have to worry about staying competitive. Foreign competition, domes- tic competition, new products, and "lust in time" methods of production are all significant factors in today's economy. The reality is that failure to stay competitive can mean a company can fail. This reality is not a failure of the collective bargaining process, but simply a realization of a global economy. IBM was the paragon of a successful corporation, until very recently. But Big Blue forgot that it had to stay competitive. As a non-union company, their difficulties were obviously not a reflection of a failure of collective bargaining, but simply a failure to take care of business. There are many valid criticisms of the collective bargaining process. Too often, negotiators focus on power, saying "I have the power; the other side will do what I want;" Too often, negotiators put forth a proposal and stick to it, without looking at alternatives. Too often, negotiators, in putting forth a proposal, forget that it is simply a vehicle to highlight and discuss an interest. Too often, negotiators forget that it is important to exchange information that will enable both sides to negotiate intelligently. Too often, negotiators focus on personalities rather than solving problems. Good negotiators avoid these pitfalls. lithe discussion on interest based bar. gaining is to remind people that power should not be used recklessly, that proposals should not be pursued unwisely, that negotiators should deal civilly with each other, and that interests of both sides should always be considered, there can be no disagreement. The main advantage of win-win bargaining, it seems to me, is that an environment is created and techniques are developed that will allow the parties to creatively and wisely approach mutual problems. But interest based bargainers should understand that there is no panacea: attaching words to the negotiations process will not change the basic nature of bargaining. Power will still be a factor; solutions may be unsatisfactory and the pie may get smaller. In today's economy, a new style of bargaining or new words will not change these realities. To even suggest that the use of interest based bargaining will solve all problems is unrealistic and foolhardy. Accordingly, the focus should not be on the style of negotiations. Negotiators should look at the real problems facing companies and unions in today's global economy and try to develop creative solutions to solve these problems. But saying that changing the form of the negotiations will help make the problems go away may be developing an expectation that no system of bargaining can achieve.

Little is known, however, about the implications these contingent employees have for human resource practices. This paper presents the results of a study of one group of contingent workers, contract workers in the petrochemical industry. The primary concern of this study is the consequences contract workers have for safety, a hotly debated and politically charged issue in an industry where safety mishaps can have catastrophic consequences. We find that contract employees offer petrochemical firms an important degree of flexibility in meeting rapid fluctuations in their demand for labor. Contract employment relationships also create stresses with potentially severe adverse effects on workplace safety. Overcoming these threats to safety while maintaining flexibility will require a high level of coordination among human resource professionals, line managers, corporate executives, unions, and government agencies.

Analyzing early labor legislation, one should identify the types of disputes that were taken out of this power relationship. The 1930s were marred by a large number of strikes simply to obtain recognition of unions for the purpose of collective bargaining. One of the major accomplishments of the National Labor Relations Act and subsequent labor legislation, was to provide an orderly process for determining whether or not a union should represent a group of employees. In so doing, the Act eliminated a major cause of industrial disharmony and provided an orderly system to determine questions concerning representation. The fundamental purpose of the Wagner Act was to promote greater self determination for workers. The law encouraged labor and management to peacefully and rationally decide terms and conditions of employment, and to use economic power only when there is no alternative. Also, the Wagner Act, and no subsequent labor legislation, intended in any way to interfere with the specific content of agreements that were to be reached at the collective bargaining table. Thus, the parties involved in the bargaining looked to their common interests when it was appropriate to do so. INSET: Reinstatement Award Vacated Because of Sexual Harassment Policy.

It is clear that a number of parties around the country have discovered the advantages of more cooperative relationships. They have been introduced to the notions of joint problem solving and the values of working together on a variety of issues they see as matters of common concern. It would appear that cooperative approaches to labor-management relations represent the very best means of dealing with issues that are important to the people represented, and traditional collective bargaining uses the more narrow, adversarial approaches that limit the scope and creativity of bargained settlements. If considering labor relations of the 1990s, it would be a serious error for labor or management to view a mediator as a sign of their inability to deal with the issues or with collective bargaining. The 1990s will be a challenge for labor and management as they face a range of new issues, some of which might not even conceive of right now. The success or failure of labor and management in the 1990s will be in their selection of a procedure to deal with the issues, and their resolution to follow those procedures. There must be a commitment to the process they choose for themselves.

Mediation calls for great creativity in providing alternatives for harmonious resolution. Almost any issue that involves two or more competing approaches can benefit from the use of computer-aided decision making. Thus, expert systems software might include software that incorporates what good decision makers implicitly do in preventing or resolving disputes. This article emphasizes dispute resolving, whereas other related literature dealing with computer-aided counseling emphasizes the dispute-preventing purpose. The idea of working with multiple alternatives and multiple criteria in an easily manipulated spreadsheet format leads to super-optimum solutions that exceed the original best expectations of the disputants. That same essence can be applied not just to computer-aided mediating but also to computer-aided counseling, negotiating, advocating, evaluating, predicting, assignment of people to tasks, sequencing of events, and other related skills and activities. Achieving superoptimum solutions may not require the assistance of computers, but computer assistance can facilitate such solutions, assisting those who are not experts to increase their skill level and enabling experts to do even better.

The FMCS has nearly 40 years of experience in providing mediation and arbitration assistance in labor disputes. The FMCS was established in 1947 specifically to mediate labor-management disputes. FMCS also assists parties to resolve problems outside the crisis atmosphere of contract negotiations through preventative mediation and consultation. FMCS provides mediation services in about 8,500 cases each year and, in the vast majority, the parties are able to resolve their dispute without resort to a strike or a lockout. FMCS mediation is voluntary, that is, it has no power, other than the power of persuasion, to make the parties meet or to reach agreement. And yet, perhaps because the mediator does not have power and cannot dictate the terms of a settlement, both labor and management welcome the assistance of a mediator.

The role of arbitration in the public sector has been experiencing constant, and not always clear, change. It appears that in recent years the attitudes of state courts toward public arbitration have undergone a marked change increasing limitations in the arbitration process. The courts have, therefore, limited the attractiveness of arbitration as a dispute settlement mechanism, implicitly endorsing the policy of a limited scope for bargaining in the public sector. The court identified a trend toward permitting meaningful bargaining rights for public employees. Grievances that are to be resolved include complaints concerning, any matter relating to the employment of an employee, the effect or interpretation, or a claim of breach, of a collective bargaining agreement, or any claimed violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of any law, rule, or regulation affecting conditions of employment. The aggrieved employee may decide to pursue his claim through either the negotiated grievance mechanism included in the collective bargaining agreement or appellate procedures of MSPB. Section 7121 (f) authorizes the Director of OPM to seek judicial (not Federal Labor Relations Authority) review of an arbitrator's decision in matters covered under Sections 4303 and 7512.

SN - 0160449X AB - This article focuses on the efforts of skilled tradesmen to resist, and then accommodate, technological change. As additional technological changes were made in the late thirties and forties, the trade purity question was no longer a serious argument. But the concept of a defined jurisdiction remained with the idea that jurisdiction should be limited to logical connections to the basic work of propulsion power, heating and cooling, moving fluids and liquids and maintenance. Thus, the local maintained a commitment to trade unionism and an opposition to industrial unionism. This commitment influenced the locals organizing strategy in the late thirties, when the New Deal influenced growth of industrial unions that organized not only production employees but employees normally viewed as within the engineers' jurisdiction. As a defense, the local began organizing everyone reasonably connected to its jurisdiction to make the bargaining unit large enough to be financially sound and to keep the industrial unions at bay.

Unfortunately, the principle of increased productivity is very often the only specific important item, on which there is regular agreement. There is no employer who does not list good productivity as one of the major needs. Shifts in the work force composition certainly appears to be having a major influence on union organizing and on employer-employee attitudes at the table. It seems to have created a chain reaction of changes. Labor and management are more and more often assuming an attitude of accommodation at the bargaining tables. At the same time more and more small union employers have tried, with varying degrees of success, to change their operations to open shop; some have simply set up a second, nonunion shop. The migration of workers is not affecting the national employment figures significantly, but only shifting the unemployment figures, at the points of origin and destination of the migrating workers.

The central concept around which the FMCS has developed its approach to labor-management conflict resolution is the active promotion of industrial peace. While the FMCS' role in dispute resolution has long been recognized in the private sector of the U.S. economy, the Service has come to recognize that many problems have arisen due to the rapidly growing unionization of public employees in the non-Federal public sector. As a correlation of this phenomenon, there has arisen a consequent need for increased third-party assistance in resolving disputes between the governmental bodies and their employees. This need is all the greater in those localities where there is an absence of State or local pronouncements regarding the establishment of collective bargaining relationships, or a lack of available or effective mediation or conciliation services. As of today, many states have enacted various types of legislation affecting the relationship between public employees and their agencies.

On August 25, 1974, amendments to the National Labor Relations Act extended coverage and protection to employees of nonprofit hospitals and other health care institutions. As stated in the amendment, the term health care institution applies to any hospital, convalescent hospital, health maintenance organization, health clinic, nursing home, extended care facility, or other institution devoted to the care of sick, infirm, or aged persons. The new law covers an estimated three million workers and excludes employees of federal, state and municipal health care facilities. Several reasons were given for the passage of the law after a lapse of 39 years, during which time most workers enjoyed the protection of the Wagner Act. One reason cited was the attempt to lessen major disruptions in the medical industry which occurred over the right of employees to join a union, be recognized by the employer and bargain collectively. Another reason for the passage of the amendment involved the question of equity and the continued discrimination of one category of employees. Work performed by employees in nonprofit hospitals is essentially the same as that covered by for-profit hospitals already under the Board's jurisdiction.

Public collective bargaining is indeed one of the more important public domestic issues of our time. In the area of labor-management relations, it is the issue of today. We have seen several recent public employee disputes take on added meaning when it becomes apparent that the underlying social problems are the genuine causes of the dispute. The universities are under great pressures today from students who want a voice in determining administrative and curriculum changes, among other things. Organized religions, particularly the Catholic Church, are undergoing massive assaults against old ideas or doctrines which some people think are no longer responsive or even relevant to today's needs. And, as the recent Presidential election demonstrated, the old political forms and coalitions are no longer relevant. The primary system, the unit rule, the electoral college and even the political convention itself are all in jeopardy because the voters now want to be involved. Let us talk first about the matter of representation. I do not think there is a person today who disagrees with the idea that employees public or private should have the right to express for themselves whether they wish to be represented by a particular organization. Where this right does not now exist, it should be provided, preferably by state legislation.

SN - 00197939 AB - The article focuses on the Taft-Hartley Act. It provides both quantitative and qualitative analyses of union membership rejections of tentative agreements reached by management and union leaders. The analysis is confined to the more difficult joint-meeting cases in which federal mediators participated during 1965-1967. On the basis of mediator questionnaire responses, the author discusses background causes of rejections, causes by type of issue, and causes originating in ratification procedure. There is a brief discussion of possible solutions to the memberships rejection problem. An independent mediation agency, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) was set up. Congress gave the FMCS power only within the broad sphere of persuasion and did not attempt to define how persuasion was to be exercised. But there is one exception, in a section, obscured by the passage of time, the Act provides that if the director is not able to bring the parties to agreement by conciliation within a reasonable time, he shall seek to induce the panics voluntarily to seek other means of settling the dispute without resort to strike, lock-out, or other coercions.

As the debate and the tempers escalated, the mediator in the audience heaved a sigh of relief as he realized all he had to do was to mediate collective bargaining disputes and not labor-management public debates. The fictitious dialogue just recited leads me to a brief discussion of what United Nations Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg calls The Myth of the Eternal Enemy which he would like to help lay to rest. A period in which membership rejections of agreements reached in collective bargaining sessions chaired by federal mediators reached an all-time recorded annual peak of 14.2 percent. The rejection trend, nevertheless, was upward. In 1964, it was 8.7 per cent of all joint meeting cases, 10.0 per cent in 1965, 11.7 percent in 1966 and 14.7 percent in 1967. For obvious reasons, this trend disturbed both union and management leaders. The FMCS study did not support the fear that these rejections constituted tactical maneuvering on the part of union leaders.

It is noted that a solitary decision for the union may be taken as evidence of diminishing control for management. The arbitration process is placed in the contract by mutual consent. Either party can reject an arbitrator selected by the other. Therefore, it was felt that somewhat equal benefits would have to flow to prevent a return to strikes and lockouts as one set of alternatives. The extensive application of arbitration is sufficient documentation unto itself that the parties are satisfied with its workings.

The establishment and keeping of job control are essential to the union's long-term survival. Therefore contracts frequently provide that production and maintenance are reserved for union members, except in emergencies and training. In the course of living with the agreement, unanticipated events occur, it is appropriate to observe that the contract covers only a small part of their parties' joint concern. It is based upon a mass of unstated assumptions and practices as to which the understanding of the parties may actually differ, and which it is wholly impractical to list in the agreement. The conflicting schools of thought lead the parties to maintain the "box-score," watching how arbitrators handle grievances in other companies. Whether the contract is silent or not on permissible work by supervisors, arbitrators have employed a principle adopted from the law which works in behalf of the company. The doctrine is known as de minimis non curat lex, and means that the law is not concerned with trifling, inconsequential matters that are offered as violation of the meaning and intent of the labor contract. Applied to the supervisory performance of union-type work, it signifies that minor and short duration unit tasks executed by foremen are rejected by arbitrators.

The most typical circumstance is negotiation when the entire contract open for change. However, initial agreements and reopening clauses under long-term agreements are also included. Probably the least controversial aspect of the government's role is contained in the notice provisions of Title I, Section 8(d), of the Taft-Hartley Act. These are the 60-day and 30-day notice clauses. The obvious intent is to require time for bargaining and to alert the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and other appropriate mediation agencies at least 30 days in advance of a possible crisis. The important role of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service in these 20,000 assigned cases is to determine whether active mediation is required. This is accomplished by telephone calls or by personal conferences of the mediator with representatives of the parties. If the mediator knows the parties very well, he may be of assistance without ever sitting down at the bargaining table with them. About 13,000, or two-thirds, of the assigned cases require nothing more. The role of government has been confined primarily to a determination that the collective bargaining situation at these plants is healthy.

A national service, such as the U.S. Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, too, has an important role to play. The article explores some aspects of the "when" and "how" of mediation and conciliation, to suggest considerations of policy as to when and to what degree mediators should participate in a dispute case. Participation of a mediator may begin many months before contract expiration; it may be withheld until a few hours before a deadline, or the mediator may never intervene actively. Any realistic view of the present industrial scene must recognize the heightened possibility of serious conflict. Quite apart from any efforts by government to prevent dramatic and far-reaching price increases, present economic considerations impel the observation that there are strong factors opposing any appreciable general upward movement of prices. Decisions as to the time of entry and as to the degree of participation in any situation must be made with the foremost consideration of the basic principles upon which modem mediation is based, the twin concepts of impartiality and of honor.

JO - Labor Law Journal JF - Labor Law Journal Y1 - 1957/08// VL - 8 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 534 PB - CCH Incorporated SN - 00236586 AB - Mediation is the process wherein public servants seek to apply the public interest to the end of peaceful and equitable solutions of mutual problems. There is an application of mediation that renders it universally useful and effective in the labor-management field and, that being true, a serious effort should be made to use mediation in all its aspects, in order to get the most out of it. The article analyzes the labor agreement and the processes involved in its negotiation, in order to understand properly the place of mediation in the labor-management arena. At the start of the negotiations, the parties define the area to be negotiated and settled. The union submits its proposals; the company, if it chooses, submits its proposals or counterproposals. At some point, the parties begin to bargain seriously on the items that have been introduced. Some trading takes place-- slowly at first and then at a more sustained pace. It is in this stage, under such conditions, that most settlements are consummated.

JO - Labor Law Journal JF - Labor Law Journal Y1 - 1956/12// VL - 7 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 768 PB - CCH Incorporated SN - 00236586 AB - In this article the author focuses on the increasing popularity of business mediators in development of better day-to-day relations between labor and management. This concept has been labeled preventive mediation. The notion is that mediators should be active in seeking to eliminate causes of friction which later might erupt into strife or work stoppages. Instead of being concerned only with crisis, the mediator should be active and creative in building harmonious labor relations. There is by no means a full acceptance of this concept by labor or management, or by mediators. Preventive accomplishments, frequently quite substantial, may emerge from the mediation of deadlocked negotiations for a new contract. A good mediator, in the course of mediating a labor dispute, can discern trouble spots and sources of friction and he can and should make constructive suggestions or adopt mediation procedures designed to ameliorate such conditions. Government mediation of grievances is, of course, not a new concept. There is a school of thought which advocates extensive use of the mediation machinery for unresolved grievances, both as a matter of settling disputes and as a vehicle for more harmonious labor-management relations.

T1 - The Place of Mediation in the Swedish Collective Bargaining System. JO - Labor Law Journal JF - Labor Law Journal Y1 - 1955/08// VL - 6 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 536 PB - CCH Incorporated SN - 00236586 AB - The article discusses the role of mediation in the Swedish collective bargaining system. The most striking features of the Swedish collective bargaining system are the unusually high degree of organization on both sides and the balance of power achieved in recent years. The labor movement is strong, unified and socially responsible. The individual national unions originally vested little authority in the central confederation officials but, today, the decision-making power, particularly on wage policy and the control of strikes, is quite highly centralized in the Swedish Confederation of Trade Unions executives. The counterpart to Swedish Confederation of Trade Unions executives on the employers' side is the Swedish Confederation of Employers. This is a highly efficient and strongly centralized organization, made up of 40 industry federations plus a general group of non-federated employers. Its combined membership is approximately 13,000 companies, which employ nearly 750,000 workers. It is recognized as the acknowledged spokesman for employers throughout the country.
