Prof. Cooper's Article Published in Star Tribune

The Star Tribune published an article by Professor Laura J. Cooper, responding to an editorial published by the newspaper on Sept. 14. Professor Cooper's article refutes factual assertions made in the editorial by presenting data from an empirical study of Minnesota labor arbitration awards. Professor Cooper co-authored the study, analyzing the largest data base ever assembled of published and unpublished arbitration decisions on employee discipline and discharge, with Professor Stephen F. Befort of the Law School and emeritus Professor Mario Bognanno of the Carlson School of Management.
