Arbitration and Mediation of Employment and Consumer Disputes: Proceedings of the New York University 69th Annual Conference on Labor

This volume brings together scholars and practitioners from the fields of labor law, employment law, and alternative dispute resolution to share their insights. Acting NLRB Chair, Philip Miscimarra, describes the NLRB’s “complicated” relationship with arbitration. Labor lawyers on both sides of the debate (Willis Goldsmith & Blake Pulliam, Jae Chun, and Kalpana Kotagal) offer their perspectives on the upcoming Supreme Court rulings. Labor lawyers Eugene Eisner and Daniel Engelstein then draw upon their considerable experience with labor arbitration to assess the relative benefits and limitations of arbitration in a non-unionized context. Zev Eigen and David Sherwyn then provide a deep dive on how arbitration compares to administrative remedies and litigation in discrimination cases.
