Compulsory interest arbitration and the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act
Article Abstract:
Industrial relations law in New Jersey has a history dating back to the 1940s. The public sector achieved the legal right to bargain collectively in the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act of 1968. Labor was not satisfied with the scope of protected bargaining and so the legislature amended the law in 1974. The amendments increased the scope of bargaining and included protection against unfair labor practices. Until the Firemen and Policemen Compulsory Arbitration of Labor Disputes Act of 1977, however, the law did not provide for any finality in negotiations. This law did so by mandating impasse arbitration in these professions.

The new collective bargaining law in New Mexico
Article Abstract:
A state government ruling that public employee bargaining was illegal inspired lobbying which led to New Mexico's Public Employee Bargaining Act in 1992, the first such law in the Southwestern US. New Mexico's governor, Bruce King, created a Collective Bargaining Task Force to draft the law. Under the law, unions will even be able to negotiate wages contingent on legislative appropriations to government agencies. The law will also probably lead to greater union involvement in local politics.
