This book was released on 1991-05-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did American workers, unlike their European counterparts, fail to forge a class-based movement to pursue broad social reform? Was it simply that they lacked class consciousness and were more interested in personal mobility? In a richly detailed survey of labor law and labor history, William Forbath challenges this notion of American “individualism.” In fact, he argues, the nineteenth-century American labor movement was much like Europe’s labor movements in its social and political outlook, but in the decades around the turn of the century, the prevailing attitude of American trade unionists changed. Forbath shows that, over time, struggles with the courts and the legal order were crucial to reshaping labor’s outlook, driving the labor movement to temper its radical goals.

Download or read book Enduring Values Or Radical Change written by Richard Brian Naughton and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The argument made in this thesis is that there are four core elements underlying the Australian industrial relations system. These are that:(a) there is a role for an independent statutory tribunal; (b) the system takes account of the public interest, in that it is influenced by matters affecting the general community welfare and considers these matters together with the rights of the parties; (c) there has always been a tradition of "protecting the weak" (or the low paid) under the system; and (d) trade unions have always had a privileged role under the system (as a means of balancing the position of the industrial parties). These core elements of the Australian industrial system, and the interrelationship between them, have sustained aspects of fairness that are considered to be an emblematic feature of the Australian system.These four core elements can be identified in the writings of legal and industrial relations scholars in the period between 1904 and 1993 (the period when a system of compulsory conciliation and arbitration existed in Australia). This is significant because it was Australia (together with New Zealand) that fashioned the system of compulsory arbitration in order to prevent and settle industrial disputes.The core elements of the system were also considered and analysed by the federal industrial tribunal over that time, as it sought to resolve disputes and develop principles of fairness. The thesis analyses important tribunal decisions between 1904 - 1993 which confirm that the core elements were acknowledged as underpinning the practice and operation of the system.It is contended that even though the focus of Australian industrial relations shifted to a system based upon enterprise bargaining in 1993, the four core elements of the system remained in place. The bargaining system retained a statutory tribunal which reviewed the agreement-making process, the public interest test was cemented in place in various bargaining provisions (or else was related to the "no disadvantage" test used as a mandatory requirement for agreements), award and minimum standards continued to protect the weak, and union parties continued to serve as the representatives of employees and were entitled to benefits under the system. Certainly some of these observations are open to challenge during the period when the Howard government's Workplace Relations Amendment Act (Work Choices) Act 2005 (Work Choices) was in place. Nevertheless, while battered and bruised the four core elements remained in place during the Work Choices period, and were readily restored under the current legislation (the Fair Work Act 2009 (the FW Act)). As is evident from its title the FW Act emphasizes questions of "fairness" in the Australian system, and is strongly influenced by the four core elements outlined above.In Chapter 9 of the thesis a comparison is made between the position of New Zealand, and that of Australia. New Zealand established a system of compulsory arbitration shortly before Australia. The four core elements identified as consistent features of the Australian system are not equally a part of the current New Zealand industrial relations system. It is argued that the were always differences in the way compulsory arbitration operated in New Zealand, and the four "core" elements were not as well entrenched under the New Zealand system.

Download or read book The Legal Construction of Personal Work Relations written by Mark Freedland FBA and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the conceptual framework of European employment law, focusing on understanding the law's construction of employment relationships. The book draws on extensive comparative research of the legal architecture of employment relations in national legal systems and EU law to analyse the traditional model of the contract of employment and the difficulties of using the traditional model to frame modern working relationships. The authors then present a new model of the foundations of employment relationships, based on the concept of a personal work nexus, and explore the potential of their model to shape the future development of employment law. Throughout the book, the authors analyse the interaction of domestic and EU employment law, and discuss the possibility of future legal harmonisation in the area. They conclude by exploring the potential for a common framework for European employment law, in the context of broader debates surrounding the harmonisation of European private law.
Download or read book Reasonable Accommodation in the Modern Workplace written by Roger Blanpain and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more the modern workplace faces challenges of diversity and employability. There is an increasingly insistent need to match workforce diversity, or workers' own characteristics and choices, with employers' organizational and business requirements. In this context, the notion of reasonable accommodation inevitably arises. Concepts such as 'adaptability' and 'employability' not only require workers to adapt to new labour market circumstances but are also directed towards employers' duties to accommodate work and the workplace to the worker's situation. This book is the first study to analyse, at a global scale, how employment discrimination law gives shape to an accommodated workplace in three main areas of interest: age, disability, and religion/belief. Sixteen prominent labour and employment law scholars offer in-depth perspectives from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Russia, Israel, Canada, the United States, South Africa, and Australia. Each report fully integrates relevant legislation, case law, and legal doctrine and follows the same structure to allow easy comparisons across jurisdictions. Attention is also given to the roles of European Union law and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Issues and topics covered include the following: - the scope of 'accommodation'; - 'reasonable' defined; - recognized business requirements that may override the duty to accommodate; - when employers' neutrality policies to avoid accusations of discrimination may constitute indirect discrimination; - use of integration or re-integration strategies to accommodate disabled/incapable workers; - use of 'exit gateways' that enable employers to avoid liability in cases of disability discrimination; - when employers must take into account workers' family lives; and - when an obligation to reclassify a worker exists. These articles were originally presented as papers at the 2015 meeting of the International Association of Labour Law Journals hosted by the Institute for Labour Law of the University of Leuven. Ultimately the book makes clear that reasonable accommodation cannot be narrowed down to a formal anti-discrimination perspective but requires an integrative logic that can grow in a broader labour law context. As a compelling analysis of whether the idea of reasonable accommodation is winning ground in labour law in today's world, this book will prove of immeasurable value to labour and employment lawyers and judges, as well as to corporate counsel and academics in the field.
Download or read book Labour Legislation and Public Policy written by Paul Lyndon Davies and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most traditional legal textbooks aim to give students an overview of the present state of law in a particular area. In doing so, most books offer only a cursory assessment of how the law came to be the way it is and how economic, political, and social forces were influential during its evolution. In this innovative study the authors seek to offer students a different kind of text. Guiding students through four and a half decades of almost continuous legislative activity, the authors show how labour law evolved between the end of the Second World War and the beginning of the 1990s, how the law was created and how it looks today. The origins of the legislation providing the current framework of labour law are examined and explained in a way that will appeal not only to lawyers, but also to students of politics, economics, sociology, and labour history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the UK the received wisdom has tended to be that, historically, British labour law was abstentionist or non-interventionist, best epitomised by the words of Lord Wedderburn who has written that ' ... collective bargaining has developed in a system which depends very little on the law, which is covered by very few decisions of the judges, and which is controlled by statute very little, if at all.'. It is not until we reach the Industrial Relations Act 1971 that we discover the first attempt in peacetime to move to a legally regulated system. However, the accuracy of this non-interventionist dep.
