Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for the previous editions… “…go[es] beyond most other texts in its comprehensiveness and its informed treatment of the research literature on public sector labor relations.” -Industrial and Labor Relations Review “…by far the best textbook in this area on the market today. It offers rich insights into public sector labor relations from historical, political and legal perspectives. …the book is extremely versatile. It is well-suited for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in public personnel and labor relations. Yet, because the material is presented in a scholarly, analytical fashion, it is also an excellent resource tool for persons conducting research in or practicing public sector labor relations.” -Norma Riccucci, Associate Professor of Public Administration and Policy, State University of New York at Albany Promo Copy
