A fragmented and heavily privatized dispute resolution system: The United States
Industrial Relations Journal · 2023-07-01 · 1 citations
articleOpen accessCorrespondingAbstract The United States possesses a highly fragmented and decentralized set of mechanisms addressing work‐related conflicts and disputes. There are consequential differences in how workplace conflicts are resolved across the following settings—union and nonunion or collective and individual, public and private sectors, traditional and nonstandard employment models, and public and private forums. An important trend is the growing influence in the nonunion sector of ‘private justice’ provided in employment arbitration and conflict management systems as a replacement for ‘public justice’, and in the union sector, private neutrals also play a key role.
Changing face of public agencies in workplace conflict resolution: A six country study
Industrial Relations Journal · 2023-07-01
articleOpen accessCorrespondingAbstract This six‐country study includes examination of the institutional context in which public agencies for conflict resolution operate; the internal and external pressures for change in the activities of these agencies, including the shift from collective to individual forms of workplace conflict; the extent to which the changes being introduced are altering the traditional organizational character or culture of these bodies; and the effects of the pandemic on how public agencies involved in conflict resolution carry out their work.

In accord with the relatively strong role that market forces have played in United States (US) economic history, the USs has long been noted for a high degree of diversity in the conditions under which employees work. High capital mobility, relatively weak government regulation of employment conditions and decentralised collective bargaining, then, helped make the US industrial relations system part of an archetypal liberal market economy in the view of those who adopt a Varieties of Capitalism paradigm. In the United States, all the participants in the employment relations system retain some influence. Jobs found in the union sector—even in industries, such as construction, that faced substantial cyclical economic volatility—led the way in developing structured and well-paid employment practices. A substantial body of private ‘law’ has grown up through arbitral decisions, providing employment relations with a set of norms that are often used in the non-union sector, as well as the union sector.
