In this supplemental text for human resources courses, Reeves (pubic administration, U. of New Mexico) presents 30 public sector case studies, many derived from arbitration and fact finding hearings conducted by the author. Cases relate to: personnel management (from recruitment to benefits); employment relations (e.g. collective bargaining, sexual harassment); human resources management (including safety and security concerns); and social and ethical concerns (e.g. discrimination against older workers). Chapters include text references to legal statutes and discussion questions. The book lacks a bibliography, index, and date for the previous edition.
