I bought this book used a long time ago to help me study for some CLEP/DANTES exams, but it was just too in depth. I skimmed over it for some general ideas and to get the jist of Labor Relations, then went out and got a specific study guide instead- passed the test regardless.

Now if only I could get rid of all the superceded books on my shelf that nobody will buy because they come out with a newer edition every year or two (for no justifiable reason). Ahh the profiteering involved in "higher education"... keep the youth aspiring to "be something better", keep them buying the same but different books, keep them in school instead of on the street, or in the workforce competing for jobs that there will never be enough of... oh the failures of endless growth economics...

Nice text book, but there are some things that are outdated. But still a good reference book!

Although I never actually read the whole book (I didn't have to take the test because I finished the degree requirements), this book should contain everything you need to ace the Excelsior College Exam (ECE) in Labor Relations. The ECE Labor Relations Content guide even breaks down what will be on the test by chapter.

Mind you - I am a bit prejudiced because William Holley was largely responsible for my interest in Human Resources while at Auburn UniverSity. This book is an exceptional review of the whole Labor Ralations history and processes. It is a great reference book for HR professionals covering all of the legal aspects of labor relations.
