Extending the boundaries of alternative dispute resolution: Private dispute resolution in Irish industrial relations

“…It is not therefore evident whether joint employer-union mandated ADR arrangements like PDRAs have similar or other features and whether their evenhandedness, fairness and independence may be compromised. Second, the primary focus of the literature has been on interest-based ADR practices, such as 'assisted bargaining', 'facilitation ' and 'interest-based bargaining' (IBB), where agreed third parties provide support to the collective bargaining activities of employers and unions (Acas, 2005;Branney, 2019;Euwema et al, 2019;Klingel, 2003;Kochan et al, 2016;McAndrew, 2014). Much less attention has been focused on the adjudication or arbitration of otherwise unresolved disputes or on arrangements combining adjudication with interest-based practices like mediation (Klingel, 2003;McAndrew, 2014;Roche et al, 2014;Steadman, 2003;Thompson, 2010).…”

Third, while, as earlier discussed, ADR practices have been conceptualized as forms or aspects of 'employee voice', little is known about whether or how collective ADR aligns or interacts with other forms of collective or representative voice.…”

“…Fourth, the literature remains highly schematic, commonly providing few supporting empirical data on the features of collective ADR innovations within organizations (see Brown, 2014;Euwema et al, 2019;Steadman, 2003;Thompson, 2010). Finally, the existing case study literature is restricted in the main to single instances where collective ADR supports wider innovations in industrial relations within organizations (Dobbins and Dundon, 2016;Kochan et al, 2016;McAndrew, 2014). Systematic studies empirically exploring the features of multiple collective ADR arrangements are missing.…”

Improvisers, Incrementalists and Strategists: How and Why Organizations Adopt ADR Innovations

“…However, it has emerged that ADR may also complement conflict management arrangements in unionized organizations or be introduced, with union support, in an effort to forge a new relationship with unions (Avgar ; Latreille and Saundry ; Lipsky et al. , ; McAndrew , ).…”
