I have used a number of different labor relations and collective bargaining textbooks over the years, and the Katz, Kochan, and Colvin text stands out for its clarity and insight. -- Paul F. Clark, author of<I> Building More Effective Unions</I> The leading experts have revised and improved the best book in the field. It is essential reading, particularly for its coherent analytical framework. Its discussion of relevant legal systems is especially valuable. Students, professors, and practitioners will appreciate its pathfinding analysis of management and union strategies, including in the public sector. They will welcome the astute analyses of global pressures, including multinational enterprises and nongovernmental organization,s and of the future of labor relations. -- Greg Bamber, Monash University and Newcastle University, and coeditor, International & Comparative Employment Relations For a continental European academic, this text not only offers a thorough and wellbalanced introduction into the US system of collective bargaining and industrial relations but also into the superstructure and the theoretical framework that underpins it. And it is actually a pleasure to read and therefore comes highly recommended. * British Journal of Industrial Relations * What struck me most about this work is that it steers clear of the case-method approach common in many legal textbooks. Instead, the authors offer a more explanatory review of the topics discussed, using case studies throughout to illustrate concepts of particular interest. The result is a work that is highly substantive, yet accessible to a wide audience. This book works equally well as a reference tool for those familiar with labor relations and an introduction for the uninitiated. * Monthly Labor Review *
