Labor Relations In The Public Sector, Fourth Edition (public Administration And Public Policy)

Continuing the success of its predecessor, the fourth edition of Labor Relations in the Public Sector maintains the practical organization of the previous edition but features additional case studies and material. New chapters cover the state of unions and the process and politics of public sector collective bargaining. Comparing the public and the private sectors, this book examines the latest repercussions of restructuring the business procedures of public and private organizations. Interest-based negotiation techniques can be applied to the bargaining process as well as to contract administration. The text also discusses the recent influences of the reinventing government movement.
