Features of Leading Cases on Labour Arbitration

Five years in preparation, Leading Cases is a pioneering work, designed
to help you quickly navigate the maze of arbitration awards and court
decisions.

Leading Cases presents the most influential, representative, authoritative and comprehensive cases as chosen by Mort Mitchnick and Brian Etherington, both highly-qualified experts in the field of labour law.

Filling a long-felt need expressed by the labour relations community, the authors have selected the leading cases from among the thousands of decisions isssued over the years by arbitrators and the courts.

Leading Cases is organized by topic, with the print version divided into three volumes:

• Evidence and Procedure
• Discharge and Discipline
• Contract Interpretation

"This is a balanced and reliable resource for neutrals, practitioners and students of labour arbitration. The accessible format and updates will keep it timely and invaluable in this ever-evolving field."
	— Paula Knopf, Arbitrator/Mediator

Union representatives should find it particularly helpful as it provides a straightforward summary of the law in a broad range of subject areas."
	— Colin S. Robinson, Counsel / Arbitration Representative Manitoba Government and General Employees' Union
