THE LABOR RELATIONS PROCESS, 9th Edition provides you with the latest information available on current research, issues and events in labor relations.

This comprehensive text examines the labor movement from its inception to current and emerging trends, including topics such as unions, labor agreements, collective bargaining, arbitration, and labor relations in government, white-collar, and international contexts. The authors give an in-depth analysis of all facets of the relationship between management and labor, including a study of the rights and responsibilities of unions and management; the negotiation and administration of labor agreements; and labor-management cooperation. Other topics explored include the results of the labor relations process, and collective bargaining issues such as healthcare costs containment, pensions, labor productivity and alternative work arrangements.

All around great textbook. For the most part, it was well-written and presented lots of useful labor relations information.
On the downside (and why I only gave it 3 out of 5 stars), is for the near constant grammatical errors all throughout the book. For instance, "powel" instead of power; "scuch" instead of such (p. 709). You can tell this textbook wasn't edited or proofread very well. It was frustrating for me because this book is very expensive (anywhere from $60 to over $100 depending where you buy from). It is also for a Master's degree class, so I feel at this level, a textbook, like this, should be free from these sort of errors, especially considering the abundance of them in this textbook.
Even so, it contained an adequate amount of knowledge useful for my degree program. It could have been much worse, but it also could have been better.

As a textbook, I wouldn't say this is an entertaining read, but it did provide a lot of interesting information.
