Abstract
This thesis contains an information guide to, and an
economic evaluation of arbitration in the public sector.
The research has resulted in the description of legal relationships
between compulsory arbitration and employee's and
manager's rights. It describes procedures to follow in
selecting an arbitrator and discusses how to prepare and
present an arbitration case. The economic evaluation
defines specific costs and benefits and evaluates the effect
of arbitration on wage and benefits of public employees. The conclusions provide managers with an evaluation of
the strengths and weaknesses of arbitration in the federal
sector and provide mid-level managers with a guide to the
procedural steps up to and including the arbitration process
Strengths include those benefits derived such as protection
of employee interest, political and social stability, and
inferred public and private wage parity. Weaknesses are
the unmeasurable cost to the tax payer resulting from the
allocating of scarce public resources by non-representative
third party arbitrators. Recommendations are made for
further cost benefit analysis on subjects relating to arbitration
in the federal sector.
