Resolving Labor and Employment Disputes - A Practical Guide, Proceedings of the New York University 63rd Annual Conference on Labor (Hardcover)

The Center for Labor and Employment Law is a program established at New York University School of Law. Professor Samuel Estreicher, Dwight D. Opperman Professor of Law at New York University and an internationally recognized expert on labor and employment law, serves as the Center's director. The objectives of the Center are (a) to promote workplace efficiency and productivity, while at the same time recognizing the need for justice and safety in the workplace and respecting the dignity of work and employees; (b) to promote independent, nonpartisan research that would improve understanding of employment issues generally, with particular emphasis on the connections between human resources decisions and organizational performance; (c) to sponsor a graduate program for the next generation of law teachers and leading practitioners in the fields; and (d) to provide a forum for bringing together leaders from unions, employees, and companies, as well as representatives of plaintiff and defense perspectives, for informal discussion exploring new frameworks for labor- management relations, workplace justice, fair and efficient resolution of employment disputes, and representation in the workplace.
