Abstract

This article focuses on the impact of statutory law on the grievance arbitration process in public education. The author alerts teacher associations and educational administrators to the pitfalls of not formulating their grievance arbitration procedure with sufficient specificity. Recent judicial interpretations illustrate the type of litigation that may ensue. Such litigation results when teacher associations and educational adminstrators fail to understand the grievance arbitration procedure in relation to the whole collective bargaining process.
