How Arbitration Works: Elkouri & Elkouriorks
Alan Miles Ruben , Frank Elkouri , and Edna Asper Elkouri Manufacturer: BNA Books (Bureau of National Affairs) ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 157018335X |
Book Description
The classic text on labor arbitration.Labor law and dispute resolution professionals have long considered this to be the standard text on labor arbitration. Written by specialists from the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law's Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Labor and Employment Law, this definitive resource benefits arbitrators, advocates, and scholars. The editors apply authoritative analysis of basic practice and procedure to integrate relevant laws and their impact on dispute resolution, collective bargaining, and related issues.
The Sixth Edition expands coverage to consider over one hundred new topics and updates the Fifth Edition with hundreds of recent arbitration awards and references to important judicial decisions, academic and professional commentary, administrative agency regulations and opinions, and federal and state legislation.
Due to the growing importance of public sector arbitration, separate chapters are devoted to federal labor arbitration issues, and state and local arbitration issues. The chapters on "Interpreting Contract Language" and "Evidence" have been thoroughly revised to reflect the trend of modern critical thought concerning issues such as ambiguity in contract interpretation, hearsay, and after-acquired evidence. Changing views on the availability of non-traditional remedies such as attorneys' fees and interest awards are reflected in a new chapter on "Remedies". And, because collective bargaining agreements increasingly incorporate federal and state statutory standards, the Sixth Edition contains an extended treatment of legislative regulations and judicial decisions that bear upon arbitration issues.
Extensive footnoting, a table of arbitrators, a complete table of arbitration awards, a table of cases, a table of statutory citations, and a helpful index will save you time finding vital information. In addition, topics in the chapters are identified by BNA's Labor Arbitration Reports Cumulative Digest Index (LA CDI) classification numbers, making it easier to do additional research in that reference service. (See related books, How ADR Works and Discipline and Discharge in Arbitration, both published by BNA Books.)
How Arbitration Works includes chapters on arbitration and its setting; legal status of arbitration in the private sector; scope of labor arbitration; the arbitration tribunal; grievances: prelude to arbitration; determining arbitrability; arbitration procedures and techniques; evidence; interpreting contract language; use of substantive rules of law; precedential value of arbitral awards; custom and past practice; management rights; seniority; discipline and discharge; safety and health; employee rights and benefits; remedies in arbitration; constitutional issues in public-sector arbitration; legal status of arbitration in the federal sector; issues in state and local government sector arbitration; and arbitration of interest disputes.

Essential Material for Labor Arbitration.......2001-08-15
Some caution should be thrown to labor activists about this work: it is not a strategy book, but rather a book about the various awards and trends that have come out of many arbitration cases throughout the United States. It would be best if you knew what decisions are coming out of the area you live in, and try to keep up with (and sometimes try to buck) those trends. Also keep in mind that this is not a "labor only" book, but looks at both sides of an issue, and I've more than once have had management attempt to argue against my theory by using examples out of this book.
All in all, this is the essential work for labor arbitrations.
Must have for union activists.......2000-07-20
We like this book so much, we issued it to every executive officer in our union.
An excellent reference.......2000-05-11
As a union official, I have found that using this book while researching grievance issues has been a real time saver and, along with the use of other reference materials, has been valuable in determining whether or not to pursue grievances to the arbitration stage.
While the price is steep, it pales in comparison to the cost of going into an arbitration proceeding less than fully prepared.

Framed: Lesbians, Feminists, and Media Culture
Judith Mayne Manufacturer: University of Minnesota Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Library Binding ASIN: 0816634564 |
Book Description
Film/Women's StudiesA prominent critic assesses the impact feminism has had on popular culture.
In Framed a respected critic whose reach extends from film, literature, and feminism to the culture at large offers a sustained exploration of feminist approaches to film and mass culture. Focusing on the contradictory impulses that characterize feminism, these range from examinations of how the classical Hollywood cinema has objectified the female body-even while offering engaging dreams of female possibility-to inquiries into the surprising sexual politics that often characterize "alternative" films.
The essays are grouped in three sections, each of which probes a particular example of the centrality of contradiction in the feminist enterprise. "Cherchez la Femme Fatale" asks how the destructive, diabolical woman in film (from Marlene Dietrich to Simone Signoret) performs the very contradictions that are central to the cinema, especially where the presumed heterosexual codes of cinema are concerned. "In and Out: Feminist Mass Culture" starts from the assumption that feminism is not excluded from, but rather is very much a part of popular culture, with examples drawn from film (Clint Eastwood; the woman-in-prison film genre), television (L.A. Law), and sports (ice skating). And finally, "Lesbian Looks" considers the question of feminist alternatives by looking at how lesbianism, as both defined by dominant culture and separate from it, has inspired a number of contemporary film and video makers (Midi Onodera, Chantal Akerman, Julie Zando, and Su Friedrich) to think and rethink the contradictory possibilities of the cinema.
Throughout, Mayne shows how contradiction informs feminism in productive and challenging ways. Accessible and engaging, Framed will be of interest to anyone who enjoys mass culture and thinking about women's roles in its creation.
Judith Mayne is professor of French and women's studies at Ohio State University. She is the author of several books, including Directed by Dorothy Arzner (1994) and Cinema and Spectatorship (1993).

SNMP, SNMPv2, SNMPv3, and RMON 1 and 2 (3rd Edition)
William Stallings Manufacturer: Addison-Wesley Professional ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0201485346 |
Amazon.com
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the related Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) standards make it possible for network administrators to control and monitor even the most complicated networks. In a textbook-style treatment, William Stallings's SNMP, SNMPv2, SNMPv3, and RMON 1 and 2 explains what's behind this family of popular networking standards.The book begins with some theory about what tasks network administrators need to do, such as monitoring performance, faults, and accounting, along with configuration and security control. The guide then describes SNMP--which was introduced in 1989--as a successful solution to the basic problems of network administration. (One of the strengths of SNMP is that it allows administrators to work with disparate networks running on TCP/IP.) The author details how an SNMP Management Information Base (MIB), which stores network information, is organized and also how the protocol works to collect and store network information.
The RMON standard actually uses SNMP with its own MIB format to collect statistics about a network. The author provides detailed descriptions of this information, along with RMON filters and alarms, which can be used to troubleshoot a network.
New and improved standards RMONv2, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 comprise the remainder of this book. RMONv2 allows network administration of more kinds of networks and devices. SNMPv2 provides enhanced administration capabilities, while SNMPv3 adds the security and encryption that was lacking in earlier versions of the protocol.
This textbook is crammed with tables and statistics, and shows off the author's command of the relevant networking standards. Much more readable than the Request for Comments (RFC) documents that describe these standards, this title provides a comprehensive reference work on SNMP and RMON for the working Internet professional. --Richard Dragan
