Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book contains the proceedings of a meeting on proposed amendments to the Bonneville Administration Act of 1937, intended to streamline and improve the regional project. The Bonneville Power Administration, a unique agency in the Pacific Northwest, combines power generation and transmission under one roof. The author, a lawyer for this agency, provides insights into the political and legal issues involved in the administration of a government-owned utility during a period of rapid expansion and change in the electrical industry. The author and Bonneville's Administrator Angell argue that the proposed amendments would improve the Administration's efficiency and administrative flexibility. They would allow the Administrator to enter into collective bargaining agreements with labor unions to provide employees with social security and unemployment compensation coverage, and streamline the process for settling claims and disposing of tort claims. This would bring the administrationâs employment and labor practices more in line with those of private utilities. The book provides a valuable historical record of the Bonneville Power Administration's early history, and offers thoughtful reflections on the ongoing challenge of integrating public power into the nationâs burgeoning economy.
