The first casebook covering both international and comparative labor and employment law is characterized by its authorship by prolific, respected scholars, all of whom have taught law outside the United States. A solid conceptual framework compares national laws dealing with individual collective employment rights, including antidiscrimination law and privacy law, and considers the systems used to resolve labor and employment disputes in the context of international labor law. A sweeping coverage of international labor law considers the International Labour Organization, NAFTA and other bilateral trade agreements that include labor standards, and the European Union. In addition, The Global Workplace explores transnational corporations' self-regulatory efforts (or codes of conduct,) and the mechanisms for pursuing international labor standards in United States courts. Comparisons are drawn among the laws of the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China, Japan and India. Exploring the similarities and the differences among various approaches to the employment relationship allows students to better understand and evaluate the approach each country takes, and helps them develop a normative approach to labor and employment law. National legal materials are presented within historical and cultural context.

Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations in Industrialized Market Economies

Comparativism is no longer a purely academic exercise. The growth of multinational enterprises and the impact of international and regional organizations aspiring to harmonise rules makes it an urgent necessity. The need of legal and industrial relations practitioners for comprehensive, up-to-date, readily available information on labour law and industrial relations in different countries led to the publication of the International Encyclopaedia for Labour Law and Industrial Relations which has provided almost 60 international and national monographs to date. This book, Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations in Industrialized Market Economies, goes a step further than the Encyclopaedia, in that most chapters provide comparative and integrated thematic treatment. This work describes the salient characteristics and trends in labour law and industrial relations in the contemporary world. That it is now in its sixth edition attests to how well this work meets the needs of readers. The sixth edition updates this useful textbook and reference source, facilitating the task of teachers and students of comparative labour law and industrial relations. It also provides labour lawyers with the necessary insights to cope with an increasingly international world.

Has European economic and market integration curtailed the autonomy of national industrial relations actors and institutions? Or has it reinforced their roles in securing much-needed economic adjustment? This important book offers a deeply-informed comparative perspective on these questions, drawing on empirical research on changing conditions within and beyond the EU. The book builds on papers presented at the 8th European Regional Congress of the International Industrial Relations Association, held in the UK in September 2007. The authors are leading academic authorities from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom.   With detailed attention to such pervasive factors as the consequences of EU enlargement, the shift from manufacturing to services, changes in the gender composition and demographic profile of the labour force, and the growing influence of multinational companies, the authors address such issues as the following:   • response of national employment regulatory traditions to globalization, privatization, outsourcing and budgetary pressures;   • emergence of new forms of competitive advantage for both employers and employees;   • impact of EU-mandated information and consultation mechanisms;   • possibility of international union action and transnational solidarity;   • ‘flexicurity’ and the changing demographics of the labour force;   • gender democracy in trade unions;   • trade union mergers;   • statutory minimum conditions as an alternative to collective bargaining;   • regulation or culture change to promote equality;   • treatment of posted and migrant workers within increasingly transnational labour markets;   • growth in variable pay systems; and   • possible rebirth of vocational training systems and apprenticeships.   Offering in-depth comparative insights into the way in which national and international systems of employment relations are evolving rapidly in the face of cross-cutting pressures for change, this book illuminates a vastly complex state of affairs. In practical terms, its many insights into how current trends affect specific working conditions open the way to new initiatives in developing and maintaining a just and equitable employment relations regime for Europe and beyond.

Now that the economic orthodoxy of "light-touch" regulation has been widely discredited by recent events in the financial markets, and shareholder-oriented management has come under intense scrutiny, it is time to seriously consider the merits of stakeholder-oriented economies. In this far-reaching symposium on this aspect of comparative labor relations, 35 scholars examine case studies and evolving scenarios in a wide variety of countries, from leading economic powers such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany to post-socialist states such as Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria to the formidable global economic presences of Brazil, Russia, and India. With contributions from leading experts from all around the world in the fields of labor law, industrial relations, labor economics, labor statistics, human resources management, organization theory and other related subjects, the papers focus on the impact of the global economic crisis and its implications for the future of employment. Specific contexts covered include: adversarial versus strategic collective bargaining, transnational collective bargaining, long-term employees as the most valuable corporate stakeholders, workers' voice and participation in the restructuring of undertakings, privatization of state-owned companies, executive pay, investment in vocational training in times of economic crisis, the impact of the EU's Cross-Border Merger Directive, inherent dangers in the EMU one-size-fits-all monetary policy; and, cases of large-scale corporate fraud.Of particular interest is the treatment of important developments in Singapore and Nigeria, as well as lessons to be learned from pitfalls encountered in South Africa and other countries. With its theoretical arguments and empirical data, this volume is certainly a major contribution to the debate over whether shareholder or stakeholder approaches to management yield the best results in terms of employment outcomes. As the world economic crisis continues to take its toll on employment, pension funds, public services, and living standards, the book is sure to find a wide audience among policymakers and lawyers worldwide concerned with the future of employment relations and their effect on both productivity and social stability. This volume includes a selection of papers from the Eighth International Conference in commemoration of Marco Biagi held at the Marco Biagi Foundation in Modena, Italy in March 2010.
