Management risks years of suits over union contract breach
Durant warns arbitration clauses leave management with no recourse but to sue the union for breach of contract, a process that may take years while seven work stops occur. LeMaire of the Manufacturers Association opposes the bill, saying it would aggravate police as defendants and limit injunctions further. Bober argues the bill would create havoc and unnecessary risk, while any discipline for contract violations already exists.
