What The Awards Tell Us About Labor Arbitration Of Employment Discrimination Claims, Ariana R. Levinson

A Post-Pierce Program: Using Idr To Improve The Los Angeles Fire Department's Current Complaint And Disciplinary Procedure , Jacklyn Pawlowski Floryan

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Having an alternative to litigation is important for employees and employers in all organizations and corporations. One such option is through internal dispute resolution (IDR) mechanisms. IDR mechanisms are alternative processes used instead of litigation to solve a dispute in its early stages. When organizations and corporations do not have an established set of mechanisms in place or the employees are unaware of the procedure, lawsuits result. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is one such organization that does not have a strong, established IDR procedure in place. This paper analyzes the LAFD's current complaint and disciplinary procedure and how …

Arbitrator's Jurisdiction To Determine Arbitrability Of Labor Disputes Under Public Sector Collective Bargaining Agreements: Is The Arbitrator's Jurisdiction To Decide Arbitrability In The First Instance The Worst Of Both Worlds - Mclaughlin V. Chester Upland School District, An, Brian D. Kennedy

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The general rule permitting pre-arbitration adjudication of arbitrability has been criticized as an invitation to forum-shopping and a "race to the courthouse," an unnecessary obstacle to expeditious resolution of labor disputes,6 and a bad faith attempt by one party (usually the employer) to breach a contractual commitment to arbitration.7 Overruling a number of its own precedents following this majority rule, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania recently held in McLaughlin v. Chester Upland School District that an arbitrator has the sole and exclusive jurisdiction in the first instance to decide the arbitrability of a labor dispute arising out of a public …
