Many workable definitions of management exist, but a very inclusive definition is as follows: "Management is the process of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling an organization's operations in order to achieve a coordination of the human and material resources essential in the effective and efficient attainment of objectives" (Newport & Trewatha, 1976). A less academic but more easily remembered description is that management entails getting things done through and with people.

Collective bargaining has received a fair share of media attention recently. Several states have proposed limiting public employee collective bargaining rights.

Labor arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution process created by the parties to a collective bargaining agreement. Four Supreme Court decisions laid the foundation and expressed sufficient conflict to persuade the Supreme Court to grant certiorari in 14 Penn Plaza v. Pyettto settle issues underlying the distinctions between individual employment agreements to arbitrate and arbitration clauses found in CBA's. The fact-finding process in arbitration usually is not equivalent to judicial fact-finding.

MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Senate succeeded in voting Wednesday to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers, after Republicans discovered a way to bypass the chamber's missing Democrats and approve an explosive proposal that has rocked the state and unions nationwide.

MADISON, Wis. - The fight over stripping collective bargaining rights from Wisconsin's public workers will move into the state Supreme Court, and possibly back into the Legislature, after a judge ruled Thursday to strike down the law that passed despite massive protests that paralyzed the Capitol. Republican backers of Gov.
