CHOICE Review
Comprising papers from a 1993 conference on labor law reform sponsored jointly by Cornell University and the AFL-CIO, this work takes largely as axiomatic that inadequacies in the law account substantially for recent union declines in the US, and that the public welfare will be improved if those deficiencies are corrected. How to correct them constitutes much of the focus of the book. Following several essays on the history of labor law, other sections examine how the law fails to control employer obstruction of unionization and collective bargaining; various approaches to reforming employer behavior through incentives and sanctions; and comparative perspectives on public policy, especially in Canada. Several scattered chapters deal with the timely question of the NLRA's prohibition of employer-assisted organizations of workers and current approaches to worker participation. Concluding chapters address how unions will have to adapt to changing work organizations and institutional relationships. Individual analyses are generally thoughtful, provocative, and literate, if occasionally strident. The book as a whole serves its purpose well, although one might like to see some recognition that there are other views on the extent to which statutory or administrative inadequacies lie at the heart of labor's travails.
