Palmer & Snyder: Collective Agreement Arbitration in Canada by Ronald M. Snyder has been the authoritative reference guide for a generation of labour lawyers, human resource professionals, unions and arbitrators looking to find out – quickly and conveniently – what is the law on a specific labour law issue, and the leading cases that support it.

Hailed as both “important” and a “leading text” to address workplace issues in the unionized context, this 7th Edition continues to provide unparalleled analysis on all major collective agreement concerns.

Volume 1 includes a thorough review of the fundamental rules of construction for the interpretation of collective agreements, extensively examines all aspects of the grievance and arbitration process, including the various procedural and evidentiary issues that may arise and provides insight into the exclusive and concurrent jurisdiction of arbitrators vis-à-vis other tribunals and the courts. It concludes with a review of the judicial review principles applicable to arbitral decisions.
