'This volume presents precisely the types of problems facing HR
professionals in multinational corporations and reveals the many
challenges of bridging across cultures and legal systems.' - Howard
Salazar, Manager of HR Operations, Harley-Davidson Motor Company,
US 'In aligning human resource management with the legal
requirements in different countries, multinational corporations
have to simultaneously stay true to their corporate culture and
honor the distinct cultures where they do business. This volume
provides deep insights for navigating this terrain in the 21st
Century.' - Pat Canavan, Senior Vice President for Global
Governance, Motorola Corporation (retired), US 'Leading a global HR
function requires a deep appreciation of many cultures and laws,
which are at the center of this important new book. Organizing the
learning around tangible problems is a great approach - valuable
for experienced practitioners and newly appointed HR professionals
alike.' - Cheri Alexander, Vice President, HR International
Operations, General Motors (retired), US Multinational corporations
face considerable complexity in setting the terms and conditions of
employment. Differing national laws prevent firms from developing
consistent sets of employment policies, but, at the same time,
employees are often expected to work closely with colleagues
located in many different countries and seek comparable treatment.
This critical volume offers a comprehensive analysis of how these
contradictory issues are dealt with in five countries - Australia,
Brazil, Germany, Japan and the United States. The authors identify
six key areas that present the most typical challenges: employee
voice (unionization and works councils), discrimination, privacy,
wrongful dismissal, compensation and benefits administration, and
global supply chain and labor standards. Working within these broad
categories, legal experts from each country offer a detailed
breakdown of twenty commonly confronted human resource problems and
the ways in which national laws affect their solutions. Using a
unique combination of primary sources, discussion questions and
expert analyses, this pioneering volume provides readers with a new
and intensive picture of human resource management across the
world. Human resources managers and other practitioners will find
this book an indispensable resource. The structure and approach
make it an ideal classroom text for students of business and
management, labor law and other related fields. Instructors from
other than the five countries can easily supplement analysis of the
problems by reference to their domestic systems, which gives this
work added flexibility and relevance.

This book is part of a series which sets out a restatement of
labour law in Europe. Its second volume looks at atypical
employment relationships in Europe. Opening with a restatement, the
book provides comparative commentary on the question of how
fixed-term employment relationships, part-time employment
relationships and temporary agency work is regulated by law in the
individual states, which case law of the courts must be observed in
this respect and which possibilities exist for shaping such
relationships on the basis of collective bargaining agreements. The
book goes on to systematically explore the national regulatory
framework of: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. In this area,
which is largely shaped by EU law in many countries, the
commonalities and differences with regard to the relevant
regulatory issues are examined. This important new project provides
the definitive survey of labour law in Europe today.
The concept of 'employee' is arguably the most important one in
labour law, defining, as it does, the scope of the discipline as a
whole. This important new publication aims to develop a restatement
of the concept of the employee in European labour law. The study
identifies both problems and solutions that have emerged, clearly
setting out comparisons between the different member states'
approaches. The country reports explore both statutes and case law,
tracking their contribution to legal doctrine. The objective of the
restatement is to increase knowledge and gain a better
understanding of one of the most crucial aspects of European labour
law. Assistant Editors: - Marta Otto - Effrosyni Bakirtzi

Das Buch befasst sich mit den International Framework Agreements
(IFA) - ein neueres Rechtsinstitut, mit dem sich transnationale
Unternehmen gegenuber internationalen Gewerkschaften zur Einhaltung
arbeitsrechtlicher Rahmenbedingungen verpflichten. Vor dem
Hintergrund, dass ein internationales Arbeitsrecht fehlt,
Unternehmen jedoch zunehmend global agieren, kommen Soft Law und
nichtstaatlichen Vereinbarungen eine immer wichtigere Funktion zu.
Die Autorin untersucht die derzeit gut 120 IFA hinsichtlich
Rechtsnatur, international-privatrechtlicher Behandlung und
Rechtswirkungen, insbesondere im Arbeits-, Kauf- und
Lauterkeitsrecht. Neben der Bestandsaufnahme des jungen Instituts
findet sich auch ein Ausblick auf die mutmassliche weitere
Entwicklung der IFA und ihrer Bedeutung im sozialen Dialog.
The right of workers to 'strike' - to refuse to work pending the
outcome of employer-employee negotiations concerning specified
demands - is legally recognized virtually worldwide. Yet national
laws on strike action vary enormously, both in terms of the extent
of state regulation and of specific procedural rules. The
importance of strike law becomes obvious when taking the enormous
economic and financial consequences of strikes into account.
Considering how many people and businesses are affected by strike
actions - particularly with the globalization of industry - the
value of a comparative assessment of the right to strike becomes
very clear. This book brings together 31 country chapters, each
written by national experts on strike law. An introductory general
chapter sheds light on similarities and outlines differences in the
laws of the countries concerned. The present volume is an outcome
of the proceedings of the World Congress of the International
Society for Labour and Social Security Law which took place in
Santiago, Chile, in September 2012. The country reports submitted
at that time have been modified and updated, and more country
reports have been added. Each chapter covers the following specific
topics: legal definitions; the legal basis of the right to strike;;
the right to call a strike; the right to participate in a strike;
lawful strikes according to their purpose; procedural requirements;
peace obligations; other limitations to strikes; the public sector
and 'essential services'; specific emanations of strikes and other
forms of industrial action; legal consequences of lawful strikes;
legal consequences of unlawful strikes; dispute resolution; support
of strikers; parity of parties and neutrality of the state; and
strikes in practice. Because the strike law issues lawmakers,
judges, and legal practitioners must address are similar no matter
what the jurisdiction, it makes sense to look beyond borders to
learn what solutions are being implemented in other countries. For
this reason, the book is sure to prove highly useful in practice
and policy contexts. As the first in-depth comparative analysis of
a crucial part of labour law, it will also be indispensable to
academics in the field.
