Much scholarly attention has been given to the various techniques of dispute-resolution between labor and management in the public sector. However, there has been little research on the unfair labor practice (ULP) process as one such technique. This paper examines the ULP process in New York State. The manner and timeliness in which cases are handled point to the effectiveness of the ULP process as a dispute-resolution technique in New York. The efficacy of the ULP process ultimately promotes stability and integrity in New York's system of labor relations.
