The law regulating labor relations in the United States has grown in complexity as numerous statutes, both federal and state, have been enacted to regulate many matters growing out of the employer-employee relationship. Since these statutes have a wide application, the lawyer, regardless of his geographical location or type of practice must have some knowledge of the literature which has been spawned by this ever-expanding subject. The list of research tools in labor law includes not only legal publications in the narrow sense, but also materials on subjects such as employment statistics and the cost of living. The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the labor law literature and to the agencies responsible for its administration. Obviously, a detailed analysis of each source is impossible here and would be tedious at any rate. Sources are suggested and their contents indicated but only a perusal of the publication itself will clearly demonstrate its usefulness.
