Fighting, including name calling, invasion of personal space, pushing, kicking, spitting, etcetera, has long been present in the workplace. Fights result in disciplinary action and subsequent grievances carried through to arbitration. Fight-related arbitration decisions from 1989-2003 as published by the Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. are reviewed. Study issues concern circumstances and context surrounding fights including presence of provocative factors, nature of the incident, weapons involved, existence of continuing bad blood and other factors as suggested by Arbitrator Volz in a seminal 1966 decision.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderviolencefunctional capacitymanagementPolitical ethicsEconomic ethicsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsLabour/professional ethicsArticle
