This law school casebook encompasses a comprehensive range of materials dealing with the labor and employment law rights of public employees. It delves into constitutional rights, civil service, tenure, overtime, pension, and bankruptcy laws tailored specifically to public employees, along with public employee collective bargaining statutes and activities of public-sector unions and employers. The book emphasizes the distinct differences between the law governing the public sector workplace and the private sector. Furthermore, it sheds light on the significant variations in public-sector labor rules across states (and even within the federal sector) in crucial areas such as employee coverage, union organizing, the obligation to bargain, the scope of bargaining, impasse resolution (including strikes and alternative methods), bargaining units, and grievance arbitration. By facilitating classroom examination of various policies, issues, and concerns that arise when the employer is a government entity, this casebook serves as an invaluable resource for legal scholars and practitioners alike.
