Summary:An article surveys the salient legal developments regarding nonunion employment arbitration in the US and briefly examines the ongoing policy debate and resulting self-regulation efforts among members of the dispute resolution community. It also summarizes the author's empirical research regarding the relative success of employers and employees in employment arbitration awards decided before the recent initiation of efforts at self-regulation. The study finds that repeat-player employers do better in employment arbitration than employers that engaged in only one arbitration in the period sampled and that employers do better when they are arbitrating claims pursuant to a unilaterally imposed contract created by a personnel manual.
