and a welcome to Trond in his new capacity.
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society:
Articles and Abstracts
January 2006 - Vol. 45 Issue 1 Page 1-118
Article Authors, Titles and Abtracts
Contracts—An Uneasy Partnership?
KNUT GERLACH and GESINE STEPHAN
Theoretical considerations suggest that firms establish consistent
internal wage structures and pay wage premiums of similar size
across occupational groups. Strong evidence for the existence
of coherent employer pay policies across occupations is found
using a German employer–employee data set. However, firm-specific
elements of wage policies are less prevalent in firms applying
industry-level collective contracts than in firms with individual-level
wage contracts.
Decision-Making about Workplace Disputes: A Policy-Capturing
Study of Employment
Arbitrators, Labor Arbitrators, and Jurors
BRIAN S. KLAAS, DOUGLAS MAHONY, and HOYT N. WHEELER
Firms are increasingly turning to the controversial practice
of employment arbitration to resolve workplace disputes. Yet
little is know about how decisions are made by employment arbitrators
or how their decisions compare to those made in traditional
dispute-resolution forums. This study uses a policy-capturing
design and hierarchical linear modeling to compare how decisions
about termination cases are made by employment arbitrators,
labor arbitrators, and jurors. The results indicate significant
differences in the overall willingness to uphold termination,
with labor arbitrators being the most likely to rule in favor
of the employee, followed by jurors, employment arbitrators
judging statutory and for-cause claims, and employment arbitrators
judging statutory-only claims. Significant differences were
also observed between categories of decision makers in the weight
given to procedural compliance, evidence of discrimination,
employee work history, and stress-inducing personal circumstances.
The Marginal Revenue Product of a Women’s College Basketball
Player
ROBERT W. BROWN and R. TODD JEWELL
This paper estimates the marginal revenue product of a premium
women’s college basketball player. Ordinary least squares
estimates indicate that acquiring another one of these players
generates nearly $250,000 annually for her team. Quantile regression
estimates, however, show that these quantitative effects vary
substantially across teams: Players at less successful programs
generate little revenue for their team, while those at the elite
programs generate considerable revenues. The results provide
empirical evidence that schools may have the ability to capture
economic rents from the best players at the top women’s
basketball programs.
Factors Related to Employees’ Desire to Join and Leave
Unions
BARRY A. FRIEDMAN, STEVEN E. ABRAHAM, and RANDALL K. THOMAS
Regression analyses based on a sample of 3372 nonunionized and
unionized employees showed that, while the desire to join a
union is associated with a wide range of work attitudes, perceived
company performance, and facets of satisfaction, one’s
desire to leave one’s union is associated with a narrow
range of economic concerns. Implications of the findings are
discussed in light of the declining unionization rate in the
United States.

IIR Announces Sponsored Research Support Services
Research Funding Opportunities
The IIR can assist you with finding funding opportunities
that match your specific research interests. We have access
to numerous funding references and on-line databases such
as the Illinois Researcher Information Service (IRIS) which
currently contains over 8,600 active federal and private funding
opportunities in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and
humanities or the Community of Science (COS) database which
includes more than 22,000 records, representing over 400,000
funding opportunities, worth over $33 billion. The IIR also
subscribes to INFOED’s Sponsored Programs Information
Network (SPIN) that provides up-to-date information on current
national and international government and private funding
sources, including fellowships, research grants, publication
support, sabbatical support, curriculum development, and more.
One of the most useful features of this program is its automated
alerts system that allows us to match our investigators with
grant and contract announcements based on their user profiles.
The profiles for many of the IIR’s principal investigator’s
have already been inputted into the system.
Contact Barbara Campbell to update your information so that
you can start benefiting from these important funding opportunities.
Proposal Preparation and Submission
Our goal is to increase the competitiveness of your grant
proposals and to ensure that all UC, federal and funding agencies
grant requirements are met. All UCB proposals and grant awards
must be processed through the UCB Sponsored Projects Office
(SPO) and Extramural Funds Accounting (EFA). We will serve
as your liaison with these units and navigate your proposal
through UCB’s bureaucratic maze. SPO requests 10 working
days to review proposals, so we just ask that you provide
us with enough time (5 working days) to complete our own thorough
review of your proposal. This will not preclude us from assisting
you with proposals with more imminent deadlines, particularly
small, uncomplicated grants to non-federal agencies. However,
please keep in mind that proposals submitted less then two
days before agency due dates risk not being submitted by SPO
or being forwarded to the funding agency with a SPO disclaimer
notice. Therefore, it is best to plan ahead and to include
us in the earliest stages of your proposal preparation process.
Financial and Human Resource Management
Let us handle the financial and personnel management of your
grant, so that you can focus on the research. Eric Gillet,
the IIR Fund Manager is highly skilled at preparing budget
projections and expenditures reports and can assist with all
of your accounting and purchasing needs, such as ordering
equipment and supplies, reimbursement of travel and other
expenses. Annette Barnes, the IIR Human Research Administrator,
has 15 + yrs. of human resources experience and will manage
the employment of student researchers and other personnel
funded by your research grants.

New and Familiar Faces at IIR
Margaret Henderson has been working at the IIR front desk during
January, helping Hadidjah, Myra and others with many projects.
Margaret has been a new and friendly face at the front desk,
and IIR extends a warm welcome to her.
CPER has retained former editor Eric Borgerson to write a pocket
guide. Eric is sharing office space with Stephanie Kalmin, and
it’s been great to see a familiar face.
IIR Unit News
Labor Center News
C. L. Dellums African American Union Leadership School
will begin on January 28, 2006, and will be held every other
Saturday for eight sessions. Nearly 30 students have registered,
and African American labor leaders from across the country will
be involved in the program.
California Lead Organizers Institute will take
place March 13-17 in Ben Lomond. This year’s theme will
be Latino Communities and Health Care Justice in California,
and will again be co-sponsored by the Center for Third World
Organizing. This class is for aspiring lead organizers in unions
and community organizations. It is open to monolingual Spanish,
monolingual English and bilingual Spanish/English speakers.
Deadline for registration is February 10. Funding provided by
the California Wellness Foundation.
Labor Summer, our annual internship program
for UC students, will take place beginning on June 19 for eight
weeks. Unions and community groups who wish to apply to be a
host site should do so before February 13. Student applications
are due March 3. More details are available at http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/laborsummer/
The report Declining Job-based Health Coverage in
the United States and California: A Crisis for Working Families,
by Arindrajit Dube and Ken Jacobs (Labor Center), and Sarah
Muller, Bob Brownstein and Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins (Working Partnerships
USA) was published in January. This study projects a continued
decline in employer-based health coverage with the greatest
effect among lower- and middle-income families. The report can
be downloaded at http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/healthcare/declining_coverage.pdf.
Funding provided by The California Endowment and Blue Shield
of California Foundation.
Carol Zabin recently received a grant from the UC California
Program on Access to Care (part of the UC California Policy
Research Center). Her project, entitled “Workforce
issues in California’s services for people with developmental
disabilities,” will analyze the workforce crisis
in services for the developmentally disabled. Employment turnover
in this service sector is rampant; the project will analyze
the roots of the problem and present a strategy for improving
job quality and the quality of services provided, and increasing
the cost-effectiveness of small service agencies. The Annie
E. Casey Foundation is also providing funding for this project.
Raahi Reddy returned to her former position as organizing director
for SEIU 715 on January 1. She will continue to work with the
Labor Center as an instructor for the California Lead Organizers
Institute. Carmen Reed has joined the Labor Center staff as
a temporary administrative assistant to fill in for the vacancy
created when Yujing Cheng left.
California Public Employee Relations News
In January, CPER Director Carol Vendrillo attended the Labor
Arbitration Conference presented by the Labor Arbitration Institute
and a program at Hastings College of the Law on mediation ethics.
In February, she will attend the meeting of the National Academy
of Arbitrators. In March, Carol is presenting an address at
the Industrial Relations Association of Northern California,
and in April, at the State Bar Labor and Employment Law Section's
Public Sector Program, she will be on a panel of arbitrators.
Carol also is serving as a member of the advisory committee
to the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). She attended
the semi-annual meeting in Sacramento, in January.
CPER is finishing up issue No. 176 (February 2006). In the main
article "PERB Sends the Wrong Message on Teacher Mailboxes,"
Patricia Winslow, chief counsel of the California Teachers Association,
takes issue with PERB 's decision limiting San Leandro Teachers
Association's use of school mailboxes to distribute two flyers
to unit members, primarily to update them on the progress of
negotiations. Winslow asks, "What are 'services, supplies
or equipment' in this Internet age where the cost of communication
is a negligible beyond measurement?" ; attorney Michael
Baranic reviews last year's important PERB decisions; and Dan
Connolly, assistant city attorney for the City of Hayward, offers
readers information about a tax-exempt trust whose funds are
used to pay eligible medical expenses: a Voluntary Employees'
Beneficiary Association.
CPER is proud to announce that current CPER legal intern Jesse
Sondheimer traveled to Paris with the UC. Hastings Negotiation
and Mediation Team, where they placed 2nd in the First Annual
International Commercial Mediation Competition hosted by the
International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Congratulations Jesse
(and thanks for the chocolates)!
We also are happy to welcome back Eric Borgerson, who is working
on special projects. Eric was CPER's first law intern, back
in 1993. He graduated from Boalt ('95) and went on to practice
union-side labor law at Weinberg, Roger and Rosenfeld, and served
as legal advisor at the Public Employment Relations Board. Come
by Room 210 to say hello.
Center for the Study of Child Care Employment
Marcy Whitebook and staff are now completing a large-scale California
Early Care and Education Workforce Study for release in March,
in collaboration with the California Child Care Resource and
Referral Network. The results of the study, funded by First
5 California, are expected to be of great benefit in state and
county workforce planning and policy.
Institute of Industrial Relations Library News
Renovation Update
In early February, working plans for the renovation (plus
a visual rendering) will appear on the IIR Library Web, which
will give community members a sense of the overall project.
At the present time, construction is slated to begin in mid
February.
Services Update
Just as our sign indicates, we are open for business—by
advance appointment. We have been helping a steady stream of IIR community members, campus and general
patrons with reference and book paging from the stacks. It’s
been interesting that every type of person is still coming
to us—faculty (our own and other UCB), building office
holders, citizen-researchers, professionals arbitrators, unionists,
etc) and students.
Web Statistics Update
IIR’s Web site (and member programs) attract the heaviest
traffic of any Web site hosted by the Socrates server. The
administrator is now sending monthly reports to the IIR Library,
which will enable us to build a more precise historical record
of usage trends. In December and January, IIR Librarian Terry
Huwe prepared a policy analysis of the IIR Web’s performance
for Michael Reich, and also provided a similar study to the
Labor Center management team. As each program adds more publications
of greater depth and impact, traffic has grown correspondingly.
Congratulations are due to all of the units for their outstanding
work.
Library Blogs: Update
Having trouble keeping with news? The IIR Library publishes
three Blogs that aggregate news about labor and employment
issues. Janice covers labor and economic news, and Terry covers
major news feeds, and labor-oriented events and conferences.
Elizabeth has created a “digest” page that places
all the news in three columns. This service reinforces the
email alerts about key news and reports that Terry sends to
the Institutors mailing list. Take a look at:
http://www.irle.berkeley.edu/library
and
http://www.irle.berkeley.edu/library/laborblog/index.php
Library Staff Pursue IR Journal/JSTOR Alliance
Librarian Terry Huwe has been negotiating with Blackwell Publishing
and JSTOR, the online srepository for high quality academic
knowledge resources. The goal is to add IIR’s top-ranked
scholarly journal to JSTOR, where it would be more easily
retrieved by more users. It is anticipated that the details
will be finalized and ready for review by the journal editor
and IIR faculty director some time this spring. The Journal
is already available via Blackwell Synergy, so adding it to
JSTOR will potentially extend overall access and readership.
