3.0 out of 5 stars Just another textbook that will surely be superceded to maintain textbook industry existence, May 6, 2009

This review is from: The Labor Relations Process (The Dryden Press series in management) (Hardcover)

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Now if only I could get rid of all the superceded books on my shelf that nobody will buy because they come out with a newer edition every year or two (for no justifiable reason).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...

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.
