Arbitration 2012: How the External Environment Is
Shaping Arbitration
Arbitration 2012 is the essential reference for understanding the impact of recent
societal forces on arbitration processes and outcomes. This volume addresses
topics as diverse as social media in the workplace, resolving workplace disputes
involving mental health issues, and the impact on arbitration of privacy requirements
established by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA). Highlights include Roberta Golick’s Presidential Address, which
discusses philosophies of the U.S. Supreme Court and their effect on the work
of labor arbitrators; former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold’s Distinguished Speaker
Address, which describes recent restrictions on public-sector collective bargaining;
and a Fireside Chat with arbitrator Richard I. Bloch. Additional chapters cover ethics
and empathy in arbitration, controversial issues for advocates and arbitrators, how
non-union employment arbitrations are won and lost, and the interplay in Canada
between arbitration proceedings and human rights tribunals.
