Coalition Bargaining: A Study of Union Tactics and Public Policy

This book is the first study to deal with the various facets of coalition bargaining and with union attempts unilaterally to impose company-wide terms on employers who have chosen not to engage in such negotiations on a voluntary basis.

It covers the fundamentals of coalition bargaining, examines the several key coalition cases, and further explores the impact of such bargaining upon those affected—the unions, the companies, the employees, and the public.
