Presenting the issues of discrimination in employment in a
multifaceted manner, this book examines the standards on
anti-discrimination law for employment at international and EU
levels and those deriving from national jurisdictions. Bringing
together top scholars in the field of anti-discrimination
employment law, this book explains the conceptual and theoretical
foundations of the principle of non-discrimination in employment
and assesses the most significant changes to law and ongoing
challenges in the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, the UK, Australia,
New Zealand, Canada, India, Switzerland and Israel. Identifying
emerging trends in anti-discrimination employment law, this book
offers a comparative, problem-solving approach and an in-depth
analysis of new developments in both anti-discrimination statutory
law and case law. Addressing employment law with a focus on
anti-discrimination law and human rights law, this book will be
essential reading for students, academics and practitioners working
in the fields of labour and employment law, anti-discrimination law
and human rights law and offers an international comparative
overview of the most up-to-date issues relating to discrimination.
First published in 1991, Rethinking Labour-Management Relations
explores how the contemporary system of industrial relations
developed and outlines proposals for a better alternative. The book
examines the positives and negatives of three systems of industrial
relations: a freely operating market for labour where workers
bargain individually with employers; a strike-based system of
collective bargaining; and, a compulsory arbitration system. It
discusses how the strike replaced individual bargaining,
highlighting the deficiencies in these respective systems and
presenting arbitration as the more efficient and effective way of
settling disputes. In doing so, the book emphasises the role of the
parties involved in finding solutions and considers how government
intervention could be kept to a minimum. Exploring a wealth of
literature relating to compulsory arbitration systems around the
world and formulating a set of criteria for establishing the best
possible form of arbitration, Rethinking Labour-Management
Relations will appeal to those with an interest in the history of
trade union theory, public policy, and labour law.
This international book analyses the impact of digitisation in
labour markets, on labour relationships and also on labour
processes. The rapid progress of modern disruptive technologies and
AIs and their multiple applications to each phase of the labour
production system, are changing the production rules on a global
scale with significant impacts in every aspect of work. As new
technologies transform work patterns and change the type of jobs
available - destroying some while creating others - and even the
nature of the tasks performed, numerous legal problems arise which
are challenging to legislators and legal scholars who need to find
appropriate solutions to them. Considering the labour law issues
which have been created by technological developments and currently
affect the work of millions worldwide, this book highlights the
full scope of these issues, suggesting solutions to emerging
problems and ways to mitigate the risks brought about through
technological advancement. Approaching the present debate with
perspectives on legal problems with expertise from a wide range of
different countries, this book presents informed and scholarly
studies which answer the challenges that new technologies present
in labour markets, private lives and labour processes.
This book, originally published in 1977, is a comparative study of
worker participation in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Britain.
The first part of the book treats employee participation in general
terms and examines its meaning and scope. The second part then
examines the major themes of representative establishment councils
and employee representation through an analysis of the relevant
statutes and common law of the countries concerned, and by
exploring the legal and other problems which have arisen in each.
It also examines how these laws are applied in practice and the
opinions of those concerned.
