Unions and employers are no doubt aware that retaining legal cousel necessitates a more expensive and less expeditious grievance arbitration process. However, if a party's prospects for success are enhanced by legal representation, the additional delay and expense may be justified. Does legal representation affect grievance outcomes? Most arbitrators are lawyers. Does an arbitrator's legal training affect the outcome of a grievance? In an effort to answer these questions, all discipline or discharge grievance arbitration awards decided in the Canadian province of Newfoundland during the period 1980-1992 were analyzed. The results suggest that legal representation does not affect grievance outcomes, nor do lawyer-arbitrators decide cases any differently than their lay colleagues.

Cette étude cherche à identifier les déterminants de la rémunération des employés manuels à l'échelle du secteur municipal québécois. L'examen de 60 municipalités réparties selon une stratification basée sur la population révèle que la rémunération est plus fortement reliée à la taille qu'à la capacité de payer. L'éloignement des centres urbains, l'ancienneté et le salaire régional moyen exercent également une influence indépendante sur la rémunération de ces employés municipaux. Le modèle permet d'expliquer jusqu'à 47 % des variations du salaire de base et 35 % des variations de l'enveloppe des avantages sociaux.

This article is part of a larger study of Canadian labor law before the advent of statutory collective bargaining, which questions the traditional periodization and the meanings of the categories. It is often an un-articulated premise that the exercise by employers of their superior economic power, as imparted and structured through the law of property and contract, is not coercion. Rather, the analysis is restricted to direct state coercion, exercised through the criminal law, the police, and the injunction. This framework produces a partial view of the role of law and interferes with an analysis of the strategic choices made by workers and employers. By bringing 'normal' market relations back in, we can more fully examine the nuances of coercion and consent at a given time.

Restructuring and the associated political program have thrown British unions onto the defensive. Structural employment shifts have created an imperative for recruitment in previously unorganized areas and, although employers have tended not to reject an established union presence, moves to decentralize bargaining have rendered inappropriate some forms of union organization. In broad terms, 3 interlinked tensions will effect future policy development with each union. They concern: 1. administration and support, 2. individualism and collectivism, and 3. participative and parliamentary forms of representation. A review of policy initiatives since 1979 identifies several shortcomings and suggests that attempts to establish a new agenda have only just begun.

In the US, union growth ultimately occurs, or fails to occur, at the level of the union representation election. The phenomenon of unionization is examined using data from 6 union certification election cases (3 union wins and 3 union losses) in the US. The study draws upon the "integrative theory" of industrial conflict set out in Wheeler (1985). This theory aims at a broad based understanding of such phenomena as organizing and strikes, drawing upon knowledge from a number of disciplines, and attempts to integrate them into a single model. The comparative case study assessment suggests that a union win is related to employee deprivation, calculation as to union effectiveness, instrumentality perceptions, and attitudes about unions. In general, the results are somewhat supportive of the theory and suggest avenues for future research.

Le but de cette étude est d'évaluer dans quelle mesure la décentralisation d'un service de ressources humaines a un impact sur la satisfaction de ses clients. Une enquête par questionnaire a été réalisée dans deux organisations du secteur public fédéral (l'une possédant un service centralisé et l'autre ayant opté pour une structure décentralisée). À partir d'un échantillon de 496 répondants, l'analyse statistique révèle que la satisfaction des clients envers leur service de ressources humaines est influencée positivement par la décentralisation, mais que cette relation est modérée par l'endroit de travail des clients (impact positif sur la satisfaction des clients en région). L'analyse montre également que la consultation et la flexibilité constituent deux facteurs explicatifs qui entrent enjeu seulement dans une structure décentralisée pour expliquer la satisfaction des clients.
