Now in its fifth edition, this landmark text has long been the leading reference on public sector labor and employment law in New York State and remains the only comprehensive book on the subject. It is a vital resource for judges, arbitrators, public employers, unions and their advocates.

Covering all aspects of this area of law, Lefkowitz on Public Sector Labor and Employment Law includes chapters on the Taylor Law, the representation process, the duty to negotiate, improper practices, strikes, mini-PERBS, arbitration and contract enforcement, and more. Much of the discussion in this two-volume resource has been revised and contains updated case and statutory references throughout. Practitioners new to the field, as well as the non-attorney, will benefit from the book's clear, well-organized coverage of what can be a very complex area of law. All practitioners will benefit from the exhaustive coverage of this book, whether they represent employees, unions or management.

This treatise is named in honor of Jerome Lefkowitz, who was the editor-in-chief of the first three editions. Lefkowitz is a former Public Employment Relations Board chair who transformed New York's labor landscape by helping to write the Taylor Law.
