This book offers an exhaustive analysis of extraterritorial
employment standards. Part I addresses the U.S. role in the
enforcement of internationally recognized worker rights in the
world community. Worker rights include the right of association;
the right to organize and bargain collectively; a prohibition on
the use of any form of forced or compulsory labor; a minimum age
for the employment of children; acceptable conditions of work with
respect to minimum wages, hours of work, and occupational safety
and health; and the right to work in an environment free from
discrimination. By using economic coercion in the form of
preferential trade benefits, investment incentives, and trade
sanctions, the United States attempts to encourage foreign
governments and employers, both local and transnational, to abandon
exploitative working conditions for employment standards recognized
by the world community. Part II is an exhaustive review of
employment standards for U.S. citizens employed abroad, including
equal employment opportunity standards. It also addresses
extraterritorial wage and hour regulation and federal statutes
establishing worker compensation standards to persons employed at
military installations or in areas where the risk of war hazards
are prevalent. Part III is a discussion of the policy concerns and
implications of extraterritorial employment standards. These
standards impact domestic producers, domestic workers and their
representative organizations, consumers, exporters and importers,
as well as multinational enterprises and their employees. This book
is indispensable for managers, legal counsel for employers and
employees, and policy makers and labor leaders in any industry
having contact with the global economy.
