Using the dramatic 1990 New York Daily News strike as a case study, this work provides a systematic analysis of a new development in labor-management relations: peripheral bargaining.
In this follow-up to Balls and Strikes: The Money Game in Professional Baseball (Praeger, 1990), Jennings examines the state of professional baseball's labor relations during a nearly 25 year period, focusing on the background and the outcome of the 1994 baseball strike. Jennings concludes by suggesting lessons that can be learned to improve future labor relations in the sport.
Impressively researched and well written, this valuable study . . . traces the erosion of the reserve clause and the rise of arbitration in salary disputes, examining the participants in negotiations--players, owners, managers, agents, even commissioners--and showing the stake each has in the money game."
