This book was released on 2005 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Findings Sweeping reductions and changes to the enforcement program in BC have had a serious and negative impact on the ability of workers to become aware of their rights in the workplace, to complain of violations of their rights, and to obtain fair treatment in the process of pursuing complaints and having their complaints adequately investigated. [...] In November of that year, the newly-elected provincial government embarked upon a series of substantive changes to the Employment Standards Act, regulations under the Act, and the system of administration and enforcement of the Act. [...] For example, the stated goals of the new legislation were, allegedly, to: • protect vulnerable employees, particularly those in certain sectors; • encourage flexible workplace partnerships; • help revitalize the economy, specifically small business, by recognizing the needs and the realities of the workplace; and • simplify the rules.13 The goal of protecting vulnerable workers is restated in the [...] The Act was substantially restructured in 1995 following recommendations of the first and only compre- hensive independent review of the Act in 1994 by Commissioner Mark Thompson of the University of British Columbia's faculty of Commerce and Business Administration.16 14 Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - BC Office Regulation The Employment Standard Regulation17 is that part of the law whi [...] Administration and Enforcement Administration of the Act, and the policing and enforcement of its provisions and regulations, is the responsibility of the Minister of Labour and Citizens' Services through the Director of the Employment Standards Branch and her/his staff.
Download or read book Migrant Labour and the Reshaping of Employment Law written by Bernard Ryan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of migrant workers has become a central feature of labour markets in highly developed countries. The International Labour Organisation estimates that in 2013 there were 112 million resident migrant workers in the 58 highest-income countries, who made up 16% of the workforce. Non-resident workers have also increasingly become part of the labour available for employment in other states, often on a temporary basis. This work takes a thematic and comparative approach to examine the profound implications of contemporary labour migration for employment law regimes in highly developed countries. In so doing, it aims to promote greater recognition of labour migration-related questions, and of the interests of migrant workers, within employment law scholarship. The work comprises original analyses by leading scholars of migration and employment law at the European Union level, and in Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. The specific position of migrant workers is addressed, for example as regards equality of treatment, or the position in employment law of migrant workers without a right to work. The work also explores the effects of migration levels and patterns upon general employment law including the law relating to collective bargaining, and remedies against exploitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics, Policy, and Government in British Columbia examines the political life of Canada's dynamic Pacific province. Each of the seventeen chapters, written by well-known experts, provides an up-to-date portrait and analysis of one of the many faces of B.C. politics. Taken together they provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the dominant themes and issues that have been the distinguishing features of the province's political life. Key elements of the book include sections on: the political setting, with discussions of BC's political culture and economy, and its relations with the rest of Canada and its own Native communities; B.C.-style politics, which focus on electoral and parliamentary party politics, the changing place of women in BC public life, and the critical role of the media in explaining it all to British Columbians; governing the province, with accounts of the premier and cabinet, the bureaucracy that delivers most government services, and the complex system -- from the police to the courts -- that provides the administration of justice and the rule of law; and contemporary policy issues, with clear explanations of the intricacies of fiscal and social policy, analyses of recent conflicts over forest policy and environmental protection, a discussion of the role of lobbyists, and an examination of what difference is made when NDP governments are elected. Anyone interested in B.C. or its politics will find this book an informative, up-to-date record of the processes and events that have marked B.C.'s past and will continue to shape its future.
Download or read book Lost Kids written by Mona Gleason and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children and youth occupy important social and political roles, even as they sleep in cribs or hang out on street corners. Conceptualized as either harbingers or saboteurs of a bright, secure tomorrow, they have motivated many adult-driven schemes to effect a positive future. But have all children benefited from these programs and initiatives? Lost Kids examines adults' misgivings about, and the inadequate care of, vulnerable children. From explorations of interracial adoption and the treatment of children with disabilities to discussions of the cultural construction of the hopeless child, this multifaceted collection rejects the essentialism of the "priceless child" or "lost youth" � simplistic categories that continue to shape the treatment of those who deviate from the so-called norm.
