Professor Michael LeRoy has published extensively on strikes and lockouts, voluntary and mandatory arbitration, employee involvement teams, and more recently on employment and labor law implications stemming from 9/11 and domestic terrorism. Professor LeRoy has testified before the full U.S. Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources; consulted at the request of the President's Council of Economic Advisers in connection with the Taft-Hartley labor dispute involving Pacific Maritime Association and International Longshore and Warehouse Union; and served as an advisor to the President's Commission on the United States Postal Service. This bi-partisan Commission adopted Professor LeRoy's recommendations to Congress for the use of final offer interest arbitration in place of conventional arbitration in contract impasses with various postal worker unions. His research has been cited as authority by two federal appeals courts and the Minnesota Supreme Court. Recent research publications appear in Northwestern University Law Review, UCLA Law Review, Southern California Law Review, Emory Law Journal, and Stanford Law & Policy Review.
Professor LeRoy holds a B.A. and an M.A. in Political Science from the University of Illinois. He also holds an M.A. in Labor and Industrial Relations from the University of Illinois and a J.D. from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
