Riccucci (public administration,

Rutgers U.) presents 42 classic writings in the fields of public personnel administration and public sector labor relations that trace the development of these disciplines in the United States from the Pendleton Act of 1883--the very first civil service law--through the 21st century. The first 26 papers address personnel administration and are presented in sections covering history and politics; institutions, functions, and process; equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, and representative bureaucracy; civil service reform; and legal developments. The materials on labor relations have been divided into sections on history and politics; collective bargaining, impasse resolution, and strikes; employee participation and labor-management cooperation; and critical developments in public sector labor relations.
