Description: Just cause is the keystone of the union contract, protecting members from discrimination and unfair discipline. But up to now, its most important secrets have been restricted to arbitrators and other labor professionals. In Just cause, labor lawyer Robert M. Schwartz offers a step-by-step guide filled with advice, tips, and winning techniques. Grievance representatives can use these methods to prepare cases and make compelling arguments.
