Document Summary
Ire431 chapter 42: the law of industrial conflict. It is inevitable that sometimes collective bargaining will meet an impasse. Mapping the options for resolving a collective bargaining deadlock. When collective bargaining reaches an impasse, two legal routes are used in. Economic warfare: the use of blunt economic pressure to persuade the other party to make concessions in the form of strikes, lockouts, and the unilateral imposition of contract terms by the employer. Interest arbitrator: neutral third-party arbitrator for resolution; tasked with resolving bargaining disputes by writing the terms of a collective agreement for these parties. Labor boards play an important role in the regulation of industrial conflict. For workers and union, the main weapon is the strike. For the employer, main weapon is lockout or the unilateral imposition of contract terms. Workers lose their wages during work stoppages and depend on strike pay stipend from union, or look for alternative work.
