The Global Workplace
November 02, 2006
Coming in 2007: The Global Workplace: International and Comparative Employment Law - Cases & Materials by Roger Blanpain, Susan Bisom-Rapp, William Corbett, Hilary Joseph and Michael Zimmer.
With the forces of globalization as a backdrop, this casebook develops labor and employment law in the context of the national laws of nine countries important to the global economy - the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K, Germany, France, China, Japan and India. The study of these national laws is put in context by considering the international labor standards promulgated by the International Labor Organization as well as the standards that have emerged from two very different regional organizations -- the labor side accord to NAFTA and the European Union. Across all these different sources of law, this book considers the law of individual employment, collective labor law, antidiscrimination law, privacy law and the systems used to resolve labor and employment disputes.
About the authors:
- Roger Blanpain is Professor at the University of Leuven and the Katholieke Universiteit Brussel and is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Encyclopedia of Labor Laws.
- Susan Bisom-Rapp is Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Law and Social Justice at Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
- William R. Corbett is the Frank L. Marist Professor of Law at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center of Louisiana State University.
- Hilary K. Joseph is Professor of Law at Syracuse University.
- Michael J. Zimmer is Professor of Law at Seton Hall University.
This casebook is the first one in English covering international and comparative labor and employment law. Accompanied by a thorough teachers manual, including PowerPoint slides, the book will be supported by a website, theglobalworkplace.com, that will update the materials on a regular basis and will allow for input and discussion by those who use it. The Global Workplace is published by Cambridge University Press and will be available by the end of 2006, just in time for adoption for the spring 2007 semester.
