Re Abt Building Products Canada Ltd. And Cep, Local 434, Innis Christie
Re Abt Building Products Canada Ltd. And Cep, Local 434, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
This is a policy grievance to determine the work the Spare Boiler Operator may perform. The Employer stated that it intended to assign duties to the Spare Boiler Operator as it saw fit, in order to keep him employed. These duties were not related to steam and boiler operation; they were jobs properly performed by a labourer. It is the position of the Employer that it may assign whatever maintenance duties it wishes to those in the Maintenance Department, so long as no senior employee is displaced. The Union's position is that the function of the Spare Boiler Operator is …

Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Smith), Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
The Employer called a temporary worker in to cover hours for a sick temporary letter carrier filling in the absence of the permanent carrier on that route, thus going "temp to temp". The Union claims that the Employer should have offered the overtime to a regular employee. It asks that the Employee who should have been offered extended hours or overtime be compensated. The Employer's position is that the relevant position is that of the permanent employee, not the temporary workers'.

Supplementary award with respect to a Union grievance dated April 23, 1998, alleging breach Article 43.01 and Schedules D1, D2, D3 and D4 of the Collective Agreement between the Minister and the Union made February 3, 1998 for the term November 1, 1997-October 31, 1999 in that all school boards in Nova Scotia have refused to pay at the salary levels set out in the Schedules following the end of the effect of the Public Sector Compensation (1994-97) Act on October 31, 1997. The parties agreed that the Halifax Regional School Board would be used as an example …

Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Bedford), Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
The Grievor was suspended, then terminated for stealing taxi chits for his own use. The Union claims that discharge was excessive in this case, considering the personal stresses on the Grievor at the time, and the Grievor's previous good record. The Union also grieves that the suspension was imposed without written notice as required by the Agreement. The Employer argues that the Grievor's act is a breach of trust such that the Employer-Employee relationship is broken beyond repair.

Re Abt Building Products Canada Ltd And Cep, Loc 434 (Shatford), Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
Employee grievance alleging breach of the Collective Agreement between the parties effective March 9, 1998 — December 15, 2002 in that the Employer breached Article 3 and Appendix "C" of the Collective Agreement by suspending the Grievor for five days without sufficient cause and breached the Collective Agreement by defaming the Grievor. The Grievor seeks reimbursement for the five days of wages and consequent benefits lost, and damages and a written apology for defamation.
Apology And Organizations: Exploring An Example From Medical Practice, Jonathan R. Cohen
Apology And Organizations: Exploring An Example From Medical Practice, Jonathan R. Cohen
UF Law Faculty Publications
In this Article, I focus on injuries committed by members of organizations, such as corporations, and examine distinct issues raised by apology in the organizational setting. In particular, I consider: (i) the process of learning to prevent future errors; (ii) the divergent interests stemming from principal-agent tensions in employment, risk preferences and sources of insurance; (iii) the non-pecuniary benefits to corporate morale, productivity and reputation; (iv) the standing and scope of apologies; and (v) the articulation of policies toward injuries to others.
Getting The Faith: Why Business Lawyers And Executives Believe In Mediation, John M. Lande
Getting The Faith: Why Business Lawyers And Executives Believe In Mediation, John M. Lande
Faculty Publications
Do you believe in mediation? That may seem like an odd question. Normally one thinks of ‘believing in‘ (or having faith in) things like magic, God, or the market. These are typically things that are beyond verifiable human knowledge (such as magic and God) and/or deeply held values (such as whether the market is a better mechanism than government for managing the flow of goods and services). At first blush, one might not think that mediation would fall into either category. There have been numerous empirical studies about many different aspects of mediation, so one can confidently say, for example, …

Re Farmers Co-Operative Dairy Ltd And Cep, Local 40n, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
The Grievor claims that he was unjustly discharged, and seeks reinstatement with full compensation for lost pay and benefits. The Employer discharged the Grievor for failure to report to work or to call in, together with his history of failing to report to work. The issues are whether the Grievor's actions justified discipline, whether it was a culminating event, and what discipline, if any, should be substituted. The Union argues that the Collective Agreement stipulates circumstances under which an employee's disciplinary record becomes clean in Article 24 J, and that this is such a case, resulting in the Employer's inability …

German Law Paves The Way For Mandatory Mediation, Nadja Alexander

Effective as of 1 January 2000, the Federal Government of Germany has introduced legislation permitting all German states (Laender) to introduce mandatory court-connected mediation with respect to certain kinds of civil disputes.
The World Trade Constitution, John O. Mcginnis, Mark L. Movsesian
The World Trade Constitution, John O. Mcginnis, Mark L. Movsesian
Faculty Publications
Conventional wisdom holds that the World Trade Organization (WTO) necessarily poses a threat to sovereignty and representative government within its member nations. Professors McGinnis and Movsesian refute this view. They argue that the WTO can be understood as a constitutive structure that, by reducing the power of protectionist interest groups, can simultaneously promote international trade and domestic democracy. Indeed, in promoting both free trade and accountable government, the WTO reflects many of the insights that inform our own Madisonian Constitution. Professors McGinnis and Movsesian reject recent proposals to grant the WTO regulatory authority, endorsing instead the WTO's limited adjudicative power …

Arbitration And Judicial Review, Theodore J. St. Antoine

A quarter century ago, in a presentation at the Academy's annual meeting, I used the phrase "contract reader" to characterize the role an arbitrator plays in construing a collective bargaining agreement. That two-word phrase may be the only thing I ever said before this body that has been remembered. Unfortunately, it is almost invariably misunderstood. Time and again members have reproached me: "What's the big deal about contract reading, anyway? Isn't it just the same as contract interpretation?" Or, more substantively scathing: "Do you really think, Ted, that all you have to do to interpret a labor agreement is to …

The Liability Of International Arbitrators: A Comparative Analysis And Proposal For Qualified Immunity, Susan Franck
The Liability Of International Arbitrators: A Comparative Analysis And Proposal For Qualified Immunity, Susan Franck
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
With the advent of the global economy and the increasing number of international commercial transactions, arbitration has become an important dispute resolution option. Arbitration is traditionally extolled because it helps to resolve commercial disputes economically, confidentially, and finally within a neutral forum.' Additionally, unlike national court judgments, arbitration provides an internationally recognized method for enforcing awards.' As a result of these benefits, arbitration is now the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for international commercial disagreements. Unfortunately, because of perceived misconduct by arbitrators and the risk of party manipulation, the arbitration process has come under increasing attack through civil actions against arbitrators.
Toward More Sophisticated Mediation Theory, John M. Lande
Toward More Sophisticated Mediation Theory, John M. Lande
Faculty Publications
In the lead article in this symposium, Professor Jeffrey Stempel provides a very thoughtful analysis of the mediation field. He focuses on the debate over facilitative and evaluative mediation and he is critical of many of the arguments made by proponents of facilitative mediation. I have expressed some similar concerns, and I generally agree with his analysis (with a quibble here and there). I do think that the facilitation-evaluation debate has been productive (though admittedly wearisome), and that proponents of facilitative mediation deserve more credit than he gives them in his article.

Using Bargaining For Advantage In Law School Negotiation Courses, Chris Guthrie
Using Bargaining For Advantage In Law School Negotiation Courses, Chris Guthrie
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Options, options, options ....The Negotiation literature-at least the "problem-solving" or "interestbased" or "principled" negotiation literature'repeats this mantra over and over and over. It seems self-evident that having lots of options is a good idea because more options means more to choose from. The more options there are to choose from, however, the more difficult choosing can be. Options, in short, may increase the likelihood that one will make an optimal decision, but they impose added "decision costs" on the decision maker. Law professors now face this happy dilemma when choosing materials for their Negotiation courses. Options abound-including the negotiation chapters …
Framing Frivolous Litigation: A Psychological Theory, Chris Guthrie
Framing Frivolous Litigation: A Psychological Theory, Chris Guthrie
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
This Article uses an often-overlooked component of prospect theory to develop a positive theory of frivolous or low-probability litigation. The proposed Frivolous Framing Theory posits that the decision frame in frivolous litigation induces risk-seeking behavior in plaintiffs and risk averse behavior in defendants. Because plaintiffs in frivolous litigation have a greater tolerance for risk than the defendants they have sued, plaintiffs in frivolous litigation have "psychological leverage" in settlement negotiations, which is likely to lead to plaintiff-friendly settlements or bargaining impasse. This in turn, suggests that reformers concerned about frivolous litigation should target reform efforts at plaintiffs' decisionmaking in frivolous …
Should An Attorney Be Required To Advise Client Of Adr Options?, Marshall J. Breger
Should An Attorney Be Required To Advise Client Of Adr Options?, Marshall J. Breger
Scholarly Articles
In recent years alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has moved from the margins of legal practice into the mainstream. It is no longer the exception for attorneys to employ or clients to request ADR services in almost every aspect of legal representation. This shift to the legal mainstream raises the question whether attorneys, as part of their general obligation to keep clients informed of their legal alternatives, should be required to advise their clients regarding ADR options. This paper will consider this question. In doing so, it will consider, at least inferentially, the character and purpose of ethics "rules."

Fighting Arbitration Clauses In Franchisor Contracts, Jean R. Sternlight
Fighting Arbitration Clauses In Franchisor Contracts, Jean R. Sternlight
Scholarly Works
Purporting to serve justice, efficiency, and freedom of contract, business interests are increasingly attempting to use binding arbitration clauses to secure unfair advantages over unknowing parties. Courts seemingly have been eager to enforce arbitration clauses that appear in franchise agreements. This article discusses courts’ enforcement of arbitration clauses, undermining protections to the franchisee, and how franchisees can create a more level playing field.
Reasons Within Passions: Emotions And Intentions In Property Rights Bargaining, Peter H. Huang
Reasons Within Passions: Emotions And Intentions In Property Rights Bargaining, Peter H. Huang
Publications
This article discusses the role of emotions (or feelings or affects) in property rights bargaining. Real world people choose bargaining strategies based upon not only rational calculations, but also their gut feelings. This article considers the impact of anger and shame on bargaining over property rights and the Coase theorem. Such emotions may depend on beliefs (expectations or assessments) about whether particular strategic decisions should or will occur. Such beliefs can be viewed as attributions over the intentions of others.

Judicial Review Of Arbitration Awards On Public Policy Grounds: Lessons From The Case Law, Ann C. Hodges
Judicial Review Of Arbitration Awards On Public Policy Grounds: Lessons From The Case Law, Ann C. Hodges
Law Faculty Publications
A review of the case law demonstrates that most of the labor arbitration awards challenged on public policy grounds involve reinstatement of discharged employees. This article analyzes 138 private sector federal cases in which labor arbitration ·awards have been contested on public policy grounds. All the cases reviewed are discharge cases in which arbitration awards reversing the terminations were challenged. The article attempts to determine the factors that influence courts to uphold or overturn arbitration awards. This analysis will provide assistance to arbitrators in writing opinions that are less subject to challenge, and to employers, unions, and their attorneys in …
Identifying Real Dichotomies Underlying The False Dichotomy: Twenty-First Century Mediation In An Eclectic Regime, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Identifying Real Dichotomies Underlying The False Dichotomy: Twenty-First Century Mediation In An Eclectic Regime, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
Some people (lawyers, scholars, judges, dispute resolvers, policymakers) are more concerned about fidelity to procedural protocols while others are more concerned with the substantive rules governing disputes and substantive outcomes. Those in the dispute resolution community preferring facilitation tend to be proceduralists. For them, the observance of proper procedure is a high goal, perhaps the dominant goal. They reason, often implicitly, that adherence to the rules of procedure is the essence of neutrality, fairness, and the proper role of a dispute resolving apparatus. At some level, usually subconscious, there is a post-modern philosophical aspect of this preference. Because humans cannot …

The Inevitability Of The Eclectic: Liberating Adr From Ideology, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
The problem with viewing facilitation as the only legitimate form of mediation, of course, is that it borders on tautology: mediation is nonevaluative, therefore any evaluation in mediation must be impermissible. Although this view remains strongly held in many quarters, it appears to be in retreat, both within the mediation community and in the legal community at large. Courts and commentators have shown increasing favor toward some evaluative or advising component of mediation. More important, the eclectic style appears to be what takes place in the metaphorical trenches of mediation practice (although sound empirical data is necessarily hard to obtain …
