An Evaluation of Alternative Resolution Procedures for Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry
Abstract
This thesis presents a comparative analysis of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Impartial Jurisdictional Disputes Board (IJDB) when resolving jurisdictional dispute cases. The former system is a statutory procedure legislated by Congress. The later procedure is a voluntary system established by management (contractors) and labor, which has come under fire lately. The primary objective of this study is to determine if management and organized labor prefer a voluntary system or the NLRB for resolving jurisdictional disputes, (2) determine if there is a basis of understanding between management and labor upon which a practicable voluntary alternative system can be established and (3) characterize the features that are prerequisites to the acceptance of a voluntary alternative to the NLRB. Another objective is to prepare a comparative analysis of the IJDB and NLRB by showing the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems. Both union and management agree on the need for a voluntary resolution procedure. The issues supporting, as well as hindering this objective are synthesized in this thesis.
