A Union/Management Cooperative Program Gone Wrong: Some Unintended Consequences of a Fact-Finding Program

Indiana University

A large public utility company and a labor union recently agreed on a cooperative program to introduce fact-finding into the dispute resolution process. After 2 years, despite a number of positive outcomes, it was mutually agreed that the program would be discontinued. This article is an ex post facto case analysis of and report on this fact-finding program. Issues regarding the nature of the fact-finding program, the organizational consequences of the program, and the theoretical and practical implications of fact-finding are discussed.
