Labor & Employment Law

The Discipline Book is a handbook for administrators, union officials and attorneys involved in disciplinary actions taken against public officers and employees employed by New York State and its political subdivisions under the State's Civil Service Law, the Education Law and disciplinary grievance procedures negotiated pursuant to the Taylor Law.

In his review of The Discipline Book, Mitchell H. Rubinstein, Adjunct Professor of Law, St. John's University, said: "... Generally, I only review books where I have been provided a complementary copy. 'The Discipline Book; A Concise Guide To Discipline in The New York State Public Service' ... is an exception and worth every penny I spent ... it is the only comprehensive work in this subject area."
