Collective Bargaining in Sports and Entertainment: Professional Skills and Business Strategies

There are courses and casebooks on labor law, sports law, entertainment law, and sports management—but nothing that specifically examines the intersection of these areas in collective bargaining in sports and entertainment. This book has been developed to fill that void.
