Book excerpt: "The history of labour law is the story of workers struggling to gain a voice in and control over their economic security. Over the last 40 years, New Zealand's labour law and industrial relations systems have been in a state of flux, during which worker rights have been consistently eroded. The Employment Contracts Act 1991 marked an ideological break from a century-long tradition of pluralist labour legislation and was concerned primarily with restructuring the labour market to individualise employment relationships and boost managerial control. The Employment Relations Act 2000 may have partially restored the right to effective collective bargaining, but ultimately it is a system of self-help rather than one of state dependency, and marks a new, as yet unfinished, phase in labour regulation. This book provides an overview of the changing structures of labour law that culminated in the Employment Relations Act 2000, and an analysis of the current state of the law as it affects areas such as the contract of employment, collective bargaining, security of employment and trade unions. It includes a discussion of current tensions that are likely to impact on the development of the law, and the structure of employment and industrial relations, in the future"--Back cover.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The article departs from the theme in this issue of the ICCLL&IR that there has been a 'withdrawal' of the common law courts from areas of labour law regulated by statute, using the rationale that they should not intervene in such areas even if there is no explicit statutory exclusion relating to the point at issue. The article considers the role played by the New Zealand Court of Appeal following the neoliberal reforms to labour law by the Employment Contracts Act 1991. It argues that the Court, rather than 'withdrawing', actively intervened in the development of the law to reinforce the neoliberal reforms and to ensure that the bipartite values that had characterized labour law for most of the twentieth century were displaced by the unitary values of the common law. While approaching the topic from a different perspective, the conclusion is much the same: the courts consistently decline to extend the common law in ways which would have enhanced employee rights against employers, an inhibition noticeably absent when extending the range and scope of duties owed by employees to their employers. This article argues that if employment relationships are to balance adequately the relationship between capital and labour, the autonomy of labour law must be increased through a greater codification, the reinforcement of specialist courts and the minimization of the intrusion of the common law courts into their jurisdiction.
Download or read book Labour Law in New Zealand written by Gordon Anderson and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on New Zealand not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts, suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity, employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining, industrial disputes, and much more. Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in New Zealand, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.

Download or read book The Labour Laws of New Zealand Classic Reprint written by Minister of Labour and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Labour Laws of New Zealand There has been such extensive inquiry for copies of "The Labour Laws of New Zealand" that previous editions have soon run out of print, and, as amending statutes appear every session of Parliament, the work has, every two or three years, to be issued under the new conditions, and brought up to date. For these reasons the Fifth Edition is herewith published. Probably the most important of the labour laws is the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. It was first passed in 1894, but since that date it has been amended almost every year as new difficulties arose and had to be grappled with. The Act, comprising one of the statutes consolidated in 1908. now stands as "The Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1908," with amending Act of the same year, entitled "The Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1908," to be read with the principal Act. The Act has been so widely debated, not only in the colonies, but all over the world, that its general principle need not be explained, and we can briefly notice the machinery used in carrying out its intention. Societies consisting of three or more employers, or of fifteen or more workers, may now be registered and become subject to the provisions of the Act under the title of "industrial union." Two or more of these unions may amalgamate, or they may form an industrial association for the sake of solidarity. Conciliation Commissioners are appointed by the Government, and to these Commissioners industrial disputes are to be referred, with power to call together a local Council of Conciliation. This Council consists of a number of experts in the trade concerned, such number being representative of employers and workers - one, two, or three on each side. If the proceedings before the Council do not terminate the dispute, it is automatically referred to the Arbitration Court. This Court consists of a Judge invested with the power and status of a Judge of the Supreme Court, sitting with two members, one appointed on the recommendation of the employers' unions, and one on that of the workers' unions. The Court has exceedingly wide powers in industrial matters, and against its decisions there is no appeal.

Download or read book Post Disaster Reconstruction of the Built Environment written by Dilanthi Amaratunga and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters threaten all parts of the world and they appear to be increasing in frequency, scale and intensity. Despite huge improvements in the emergency response, permanent reconstruction is often uncoordinated, inefficiently managed and slow to begin. International agencies are geared to an efficient response in terms of humanitarian relief, but they are not well versed in the requirements of long-term reconstruction, which is often constrained by lack of planning and poorly coordinated management. The construction industry is typically engaged in a range of critical activities after a disaster, including provision of temporary shelter in the immediate aftermath and restoration of permanent shelter and public infrastructure once the immediate humanitarian needs have been attended to. Post-Disaster Reconstruction of the Built Environment identifies the challenges that face the industry and highlights best practice to enable the construction industry to address those problems which make an effective response to these unexpected events difficult. Written by an international team of experts, this book will help researchers and advanced students of construction understand the problems faced by communities and the construction industry when faced with a natural or man-made disaster, and identify the planning and management processes required by the industry to mount an effective response.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Law of Work written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 961 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the core of all societies and economies are human beings deploying their energies and talents in productive activities - that is, at work. The law governing human productive activity is a large part of what determines outcomes in terms of social justice, material wellbeing, and the sustainability of both. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that work is heavily regulated. This Handbook examines the 'law of work', a term that includes legislation setting employment standards, collective labour law, workplace discrimination law, the law regulating the contract of employment, and international labour law. It covers the regulation of relations between employer and employee, as well as labour unions, but also discussions on the contested boundaries and efforts to expand the scope of some laws regulating work beyond the traditional boundaries. Written by a team of experts in the field of labour law, the Handbook offers a comprehensive review and analysis, both theoretical and critical. It includes 60 chapters, divided into four parts. Part A establishes the fundamentals, including the historical development of the law of work, why it is needed, the conceptual building blocks, and the unsettled boundaries. Part B considers the core concerns of the law of work, including the contract of employment doctrines, main protections in employment legislation, the regulation of collective relations, discrimination, and human rights. Part C looks at the international and transnational dimension of the law of work. The final Part examines overarching themes, including discussion of recent developments such as gig work, online work, artificial intelligence at work, sustainable development, amongst others.
Download or read book Voices at Work written by Alan Bogg and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection is the culmination of a comparative project on 'Voices at Work' funded by the Leverhulme Trust 2010 - 2013. The book aims to shed light on the problematic concept of worker 'voice' by tracking its evolution and its complex interactions with various forms of law. Contributors to the volume identify the scope for continuity of legal approaches to voice and the potential for change in a sample of industrialised English speaking common law countries, namely Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, and USA. These countries, facing broadly similar regulatory dilemmas, have often sought to borrow and adapt certain legal mechanisms from one another. The variance in the outcomes of any attempts at 'borrowing' seems to demonstrate that, despite apparent membership of a 'common law' family, there are significant differences between industrial systems and constitutional traditions, thereby casting doubt on the notion that there are definitive legal solutions which can be applied through transplantation. Instead, it seems worth studying the diverse possibilities for worker voice offered in divergent contexts, not only through traditional forms of labour law, but also such disciplines as competition law, human rights law, international law and public law. In this way, the comparative study highlights a rich multiplicity of institutions and locations of worker voice, configured in a variety of ways across the English-speaking common law world. This book comprises contributions from many leading scholars of labour law, politics and industrial relations drawn from across the jurisdictions, and is therefore an exceedingly comprehensive comparative study. It is addressed to academics, policymakers, legal practitioners, legislative drafters, trade unions and interest groups alike. Additionally, while offering a critique of existing laws, this book proposes alternative legal tools to promote engagement with a multitude of 'voices' at work and therefore foster the effective deployment of law in industrial relations.

Download or read book Normative Patterns and Legal Developments in the Social Dimension of the EU written by Ann Numhauser-Henning and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the normative and legal evolution of the Social Dimension - labour law, social security law and family law - in both the EU and its Member States, during the last decade. It does this from a wide range of theoretical and legal-substantive perspectives. The past decade has witnessed the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty and its emphasis on fundamental rights, a new coordination regulation within the field of social security (Regulation 883/2004/EC), and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the so-called Laval Quartet. Furthermore structural changes affecting demographics and family have also challenged solidarity in new ways. The book is organised by reference to distinct 'normative patterns' and their development in the fields of law covered, such as the protection of established groups, the position of market functional values and the scope for just distribution. The book represents an innovative and important interdisciplinary approach to analysing EU law and Social Europe, and contributes a complex, yet thought-provoking, picture for the future. The contributors represent an interesting mix of well-known and distinguished as well as upcoming and promising researchers throughout Europe and beyond.
Download or read book Contract Labour Law and the Realities of Working Life written by Eugene Schofield-Georgeson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical and timely account of how labour law has become a means for protecting employers rather than workers. The past few decades have witnessed something of a ‘silent revolution’ in the traditional protective role that labour law has played in the lives of workers. While this transformation has been overt in the realm of the market and at the level of the legislature, the role of the judiciary in this process remains significantly under-studied. Focussing on Australia, but drawing also on material from New Zealand, the UK and Canada, this book investigates how the common law has intervened to shape labour law in the image of commercial contract, determining disputes and defining legal issues by ignoring the realities of working life. Under this new conception of labour law, industrial relations between workers and employers are rarely reciprocal or relational. Rather, they are determined by the legal meaning and purpose of the contract of employment, drafted by lawyers for the benefit of employers and their human resources departments. Having demonstrated how approaches to contractual formalist legal reasoning have redefined labour law, this book goes on to propose an array of innovative legal and policy strategies to restore the protective role of labour law to the employment relationship. Scholarly, but also accessible to students, this book will appeal to those with interests in labour law, contract law and sociolegal studies.

Download or read book Educational Reconstruction written by Gary McCulloch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a clear overview of the debates that surrounded the making of the 1944 Act, which affected every aspect of education in this country. It gives a detailed account of the tripartite divisions into 'three types of child' that were sanctioned in the reforms of the 1940s. At the same time, it also emphasises the idea of education as a civic project which underlay the reforms and which was such an important part of their lasting authority. The education policies of the past decade and the current attempts to shape a new education settlement need to be interpreted in a long-term historical framework and in particular, in relation to the aims and problems of the last great cycle of reform in the 1940s. This book makes an important contribution to the development of such a framework and the social history of education policy in this country.
