In an increasingly global economy fraught with foreign law land
mines, the breadth of concerns for lawyers advising clients
employing or employed across borders is vast and growing. Finding
ways to realize the expectations of the parties when the employment
relationship spans multiple jurisdictions with potentially
conflicting policies, different conceptions of employment, and even
different vocabularies to describe employment events is a major
challenge. In recognition of the growing importance of global
labour and employment law, the Center for Labor and Employment Law
at New York University School of Law dedicated its 61st Annual
Conference on Labor to an in-depth examination of issues arising in
this area. This volume of the proceedings of the 2008 conference
contains papers presented at that meeting, all here updated to
reflect recent developments, as well as additional contributions
from other practitioners and academics with extensive knowledge and
experience in the field. Experts from both the practicing bar and
academia - twenty-seven in all - use their unique strengths to
address issues worthy of concern in each juridical realm. Among the
many important topics presented and discussed are the following: *
application of international law soft normsA" through domestic
legal systems; * jurisdictional issues in employee benefits; *
extraterritorial application of the U.S. Employment Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA); * impact of the application of
international human rights standards to employment issues; *
drafting of specific types of employment agreements in a
multijurisdictional context; * obstacles to cross-border
enforcement of restrictive covenants; * how U.S. securities law
affects global stock option plans; * workplace electronic privacy
issues; * publicly mandated social benefits; * effect of both
immigrant and non-immigrant visas on high-skill workers; * how
bilateral labor agreements can solve transnational immigration
problems; * codes of business conduct; * role of labor rights in
foreign direct investment; * application of anti-discrimination
laws to religious discrimination across jurisdictions; and *
whistleblower protection. An unusual feature of this volume in the
series is its in-depth attention to comparative law in the field,
with exploration of developments in China, France, and New Zealand,
as well as in European Union law. As always, this annual conference
captures valuable insights and syntheses of central labour and
employment law issues and will be of great value to practitioners
and academics in the field. With insights that can assist lawyers
engaged in counselling both employers and employees, this volume
goes a long way toward meeting the expectations of both employee
and employer at various stages of the employment relationship, and
handling the disputes that inevitably arise.
