A quick definition of Spielberg doctrine:
The Spielberg Doctrine is a policy in labor law that says if there is a dispute between workers and their employer, and the contract requires binding arbitration, the National Labor Relations Board will defer to the decision made by an arbitrator if the decision is fair and not against the policies of the Labor Act. This means that the Board will not get involved in the dispute if the arbitrator has already made a decision. This policy helps to keep peace and stability in the workplace.
A more thorough explanation:
The Spielberg Doctrine is a policy followed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in labor law. It states that if there is a contract dispute between an employer and a union, and the contract requires binding arbitration, the NLRB will defer to the decision made by the arbitrator if:
- The decision is not against the policies of the NLRB
- The arbitration proceedings were fair
- The hearing provided by the arbitrator was as fair as the one that would have been provided by the NLRB
For example, if a union and an employer have a contract that requires binding arbitration and there is a dispute over wages, the arbitrator's decision will be followed by the NLRB if the three conditions mentioned above are met.
The Spielberg Doctrine was established in the case of Spielberg Mfg. Co. in 1955. The doctrine is named after this case. The NLRB believes that deferring to an arbitrator's decision promotes industrial peace and stability. The Supreme Court has also supported the NLRB's deferral policy in several cases.
