arbitration hearing. Part II consists of Chapters 4, 5, and 6. Chapter 4
contains an extensive analysis of race discrimination awards. Chapters 5 and 6
detail religious and national origin discrimination awards, materials not
previously published and available in a reference book. With minor exceptions,
materials in this book can be found in the abstracts of labor arbitration awards
published by the Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. ( BNA) and the Industrial
Relations Press (IRP) publications. The on-line computer databases of both
BNA and IRP were used extensively. Other materials referenced include court
decisions, journal articles, and the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the
National Academy of Arbitrators.

The number of you who supported me in this project would fill a book and I
thank you one and all. First, the support issued by my wife, my son, and my
family has been extensive, and each moment has been appreciated. Second, I
would like to thank the entire staff at the Greenwood Publishing Group,
especially Ms. Lynn Zelem, Ms. Marsha Goldstein, and Mr. Jason Azze.
Third, it would be inappropriate to overlook the special thanks I owe to the late
Camille Christie at BNA Books. Special thanks also goes to Richard Cornfield,
Publisher, and other staff members at BNA Books who joined me in heartache
and generously released the materials reprinted in this book following Ms.
Christie's death. I also wish to acknowledge my deep indebtedness to Professor
William P. Murphy; Professor Julius G. Getman; Professor James E. Jones, Jr.;
Professor George A. Geistauts; Professor James Craft; the late Professor Irving
Kovarsky; Professor Tom Pearce; Professor John South; Dr. James Ice; Dean
William Blockman; Dean G. Hayden Green; Ms. Fannie Slatten; and, the
hundreds of labor arbitrators whose endeavors have provided the foundation of
this book.
