Negotiators know the phrase “a unilateral change in working conditions,” but what legally constitutes a “change”, what makes it unilateral and what is considered a “working condition”? This book is a must read to understanding such subtleties.

The FLRA and the courts have established over 300 legal precedents negotiators must follow, and this book quotes hundreds of precedents that shape collective bargaining—from properly initiating a proposed change, through the range of “good faith” bargaining rules, to how to legally implement the agreement. The text is essential for negotiators on both sides of the table, as well as for the attorneys who support them. Each chapter focuses on short excerpts from the key cases stating the legal rule. The FLRA’s own language is organized by topic so the reader gets the big picture as well as the specific legal criteria. Many chapters close with a comment on how to best comply with the law and a discussion of the flaws or inconsistencies in current case law. Negotiators will use this book to quickly settle disputes over what the law requires, attorneys will use the text to write briefs, and the parties will find the book useful in planning their overall bargaining strategies. Students of any NLRB-derived collective bargaining law will benefit from this concise review of the laws, which also quotes some NLRB case decisions. This book saves the professional negotiator from having to sift through dozens of cases to find the few critical words that make up the legal rule while also providing the reader much more than a two or three line summary of the case.
