Annotation

This practical guide guide to effective arbitration in labor disputes addresses how to prove the case, evidence evaluation, and arbitrator selection and then illustrates the principles discussed with real cases.

Abstract

A review of basic procedures and practices relevant to proving an arbitration case begins with preparation for the hearing and moves through burden of proof, framing the issue, presentation of the evidence, witness examination, remedies, and posthearing briefs. The next chapter discusses the relative value of different kinds of evidence as well as effective ways of presenting it. Areas considered include relevancy, credibility, hearsay evidence, oral statments, circumstantial evidence, and confessions. The guide examines a recommended clause dealing with the choice of an arbitrator and describes various organizations that may be used in making that choice. Discussion of preparation of a case for arbitration focuses on gathering and organizing evidence and supporting the evidence with effective argument. Illustrative cases, discussion questions, and glossary.
