Labor law is widely considered to be in crisis by scholars of the
field. This crisis has an obvious external dimension - labor law is
attacked for impeding efficiency, flexibility, and development;
vilified for reducing employment and for favoring already well
placed employees over less fortunate ones; and discredited for
failing to cover the most vulnerable workers and workers in the
"informal sector." These are just some of the external challenges
to labor law. There is also an internal challenge, as labor lawyers
themselves increasingly question whether their discipline is
conceptually coherent, relevant to the new empirical realities of
the world of work, and normatively salient in the world as we now
know it.
This book responds to such fundamental challenges by asking the
most fundamental questions: What is labor law for? How can it be
justified? And what are the normative premises on which reforms
should be based? There has been growing interest in such questions
in recent years. In this volume the contributors seek to take this
body of scholarship seriously and also to move it forward. Its aim
is to provide, if not answers which satisfy everyone,
intellectually nourishing food for thought for those interested in
understanding, explaining and interpreting labor laws - whether
they are scholars, practitioners, judges, policy-makers, or workers
and employers.
