LABOR RELATIONS & ARBITRATION
Elkouri & Elkouri: How Arbitration
Works, Seventh Edition

Associate Editors
Committee on ADR in Labor and Employment
Law, ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law
Relied on by practitioners for more than 60 years
Long considered by labor law and dispute resolution
professionals to be the standard text on labor arbitration, Elkouri & Elkouri:
How Arbitration Works is the most comprehensive and authoritative treatise
available on this subject. It has been utilized and cited by advocates, arbitrators,
and judges more than any other arbitration book published.
The Seventh Edition covers critical topics including arbitrators’ consideration
of external law in labor arbitration; legislation and litigation developing standards
for evidentiary privilege as it relates to union shop stewards; arbitrators’ views
on threats and violence; reconsideration of the continued viability of the plain
meaning rule; new case law on the unauthorized practice of law as it relates
to labor arbitration; and updated discussion of state and local government
arbitration and interest arbitration in light of recent changes in state law.
Elkouri & Elkouri: How Arbitration Works offers helpful reference materials,
including a table of arbitrators that can be used to research references cited
in the book and a table of cases that includes not only court cases but also
administrative cases. Topics in the chapters are identified by Bloomberg BNA’s
Labor Arbitration Reports (LA) classification numbers, making it easier to do
additional research in that reference service.
The treatise provides citations to hundreds of recent arbitration awards, as
well as references to important judicial decisions, academic and professional
commentary, administrative agency regulations and opinions, and federal and
state legislation. No labor relations specialist, union representative, labor law
attorney, professor, or arbitrator should be without it.
Kenneth May is a lead editor of Labor Arbitration Reports, a component of Bloomberg
BNA’s Labor Relations Reporter, Arlington, Va., and a member of the Executive Board of
the Labor and Employment Relations Association.
