The behavioural, economic and institutional effects of compulsory interest arbitration / by Bryan M. Downie.: EC22-3/1979-147E-PDF
"Numerous concerns have been expressed regarding the wisdom of granting the right to strike to public sector employees. Indeed, serious proposals have been set forth to rescind or limit the right to strike. Similar concerns have also been articulated, at various times, with regard to the right to strike in "essential" industries in the quasi-public sector (e.g., the railroad and airline industries). There is a very limited set of options to replace the strike weapon; yet, if this sanction is abrogated, a viable dispute settlement proceduremust be found as a replacement. Compulsory interest arbitration is the only known viable substitute at this point in time. At the same time, it is clear that the consequences which would flow from a broader application of compulsory arbitration have not been thoroughly examined or thought through by policy makers and the public at large. Moreover, there are a number of variants with respect to arbitration, the consequences of which might vary quite substantially. This monograph examines, in eclectic fashion, the above dimensions in considerable depth"--Summary, p. iv.
