MPELRA has been working with Michigan State University's School of Labor and Industrial Relations to develop a searchable database of collective bargaining contracts to replace MPELRA's Contract Databank. The MSU Contract database, along with information on how to submit your collective bargaining contracts to the archives, can be found at http://turf.lib.msu.edu/awards/contractsindex.html

Grand Valley State University has launched a new site dedicated to grievance arbitration awards, and it needs the help of MPELRA members to get arbitrators to send them in. Go to www.gvsu.edu/arbitrations for details

Portions of the new MPELRA website are still under construction, so please bear with us if something is not quite finished yet. If you have any comments, suggestions or even frustrations, please feel free to email the webmaster@mpelra.org and let us know how we can improve the site.
