The effect of gender on arbitration decisions
Article Abstract:
The effect of grievant's and arbitrator's gender on arbitration decisions is investigated using 169 arbitration cases from Labor Arbitration Awards. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) arbitrators treat female grievants less severely than male grievants; (2) female arbitrators render less severe judgments than their male counterparts; and (3) arbitrator's gender and grievant's gender interact so that female arbitrators will treat female grievants more favorably than female arbitrators. The empirical findings supported none of these hypotheses and the authors conclude that the arbitration process is free of gender bias. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

An empirical analysis of union election outcomes in the electrical utility industry
Article Abstract:
Unions in the electric utility industry consistently won a greater percentage of elections between 1970 and 1989 than did unions in other industries. Several factors significantly affected union victory rates at electric utilities: when the election was held, the union involved, the size of the utility, the percent of the state's labor force unionized, the number of eligible voters, whether the election involved multiple unions, and whether the election was Regional- or Board-directed.

Trends in and determinants of outcomes in multi-union certification elections
Article Abstract:
We use data on 68,000 single-union and 3,600 multi-union elections during the years 1977-1994 to investigate factors influencing outcomes of multi-union elections. We find that, even though the win rate is much higher in multi-union as opposed to single-union elections, the factors influencing the outcomes are surprisingly similar.
