This textbook replaces thetired paradigm of “labor relations equals detailed work rules”with the dynamic paradigm of “labor relations equals balancingworkplace goals and rights.” Labor law, union organizing,bargaining, dispute resolution, and contract administration arecentral topics, but these processes are not presented as selfevidentlygood. These topics are placed in the broader contextof the goals of the employment relationship, conflicting rights,and the environment of the 21st Century. This broader contextserves to make labor relations more engaging and relevant tostudents. It also allows instructors to raise important “big picture”ideas while covering the applied business functions andstrategies of the existing processes.CONTENTSPart I: Foundations Chapter 1: Contemporary Labor Relations: Objectives,Practices, and Challenges Chapter 2: Labor Unions: Good or Bad?Chapter 3: Labor Relations Outcomes: Individuals and the EnvironmentPart II: The U.S. New Deal Industrial Relations System Chapter 4:Historical Development Chapter 5: Labor Law Chapter 6: Labor andManagement: Strategies, Structures, and Rights Chapter 7: Union OrganizingChapter 8: Bargaining Chapter 9: Impasse, Strikes, and DisputeResolution Chapter 10: Contract Clauses and Their Administration PartIII: Issues for the 21st Century Chapter 11: Flexibility and EmployeeInvolvement Chapter 12: Globalization Part IV: Reflection Chapter 13:Comparative Labor Relations Chapter 14: What Should Labor RelationsDo? / Appendix: Selected Laws and DeclarationsInternational EditionINTRODUCTION TO COLLECTIVE BARGAININGAND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS3rd EditionBy Harry Katz, Cornell University - Ithaca and Thomas A Kochan,Massachusetts Institute of Tech.2004 / 512 pagesISBN-13: 978-0-07-283700-1 / MHID: 0-07-283700-4ISBN-13: 978-0-07-111085-3 / MHID: 0-07-111085-2 [IE]Website: http://www.mhhe.com/katz3eAuthored by a well-respected team in labor relations, this textcovers key topics in industrial relations and collective bargainingusing a unique conceptual framework based on the three levelsof industrial relations activity (strategic, functional, and workplace).Two extensive, class-tested mock-bargaining exercisesare included.
