Abstract

In 1973 and 1982, Fox et al. published two articles in this journal covering the deferral doctrine up to and including the Suburban Motor Freight case. This article reviews deferral doctrine development and discusses recent trends set forth by the Reagan-Majority NLRB through its decisions in Olin Corporation and United Technologies Corporation. Since public sector labor-management personnel often consider the system used in the private sector as a model, many local agencies and the federal government are beginning to use policies that allow deferrals to arbitrators' awards.
