Book excerpt: These essays explore the ways in which collective bargaining practices have been forced to change in response to radical restructuring in the labor and personnel relations of American businesses. The authors place current trends--such as a shift from manufacturing to service employment, deregulation, mergers and acquisition--against the backdrop of emerging statutory, judicial, and administrative doctrine. They examine collective bargaining issues arising from managerial reorganization of a company, including the scope of the duty to bargain, obligations to divulge information, the role of labor arbitration, and pension liabilities; and activities such as sale of assets, plant closings and relocations, and bankruptcy reorganizations.
