Labor-Management Relations eBook

Managing Human Resources: Local Government Cases: Labor-management Relations describes the plight of the city administration in Cedar Valley as it attempts to respond to ill-timed wage demands--first from its police officers and then from its firefighters while providing a useful insight into a very common reaction by the general public.. This e-book has all the elements of a typical local government labor relations controversy: substantial employee demands, tight budgets and taxpayer resistance to tax hikes, lack of experience on both sides of the negotiations, and reluctance on the part of the city to negotiate with employee organizations.
