Download or read book Workplace Justice written by James Douglas Grant and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My objective in this research is to better understand the nature of employment relationships by examining violations of expectations and obligations by the employee and employer as evidenced by the dismissal of allegedly poorly performing employees. While the centerpiece of this work, the common law of wrongful dismissal, is a unique Canadian phenomenon, its relevance to theory and practice is enhanced by framing the study of the employment relationship within the broader discourse of justice and fairness. I begin by reviewing the theory and process of the law of wrongful dismissal in Canada. I then provide an overview of the literature with respect to the intersection of the psychological contract, organizational justice, and employee dismissal, as well as a review of the empirical study of employee dismissal. In addition, I embed the views of the Supreme Court of Canada with respect to the nature of the employment relationship, and the inequality of bargaining power and employee vulnerability in an analysis of divergent views of workplace justice. In the first of three studies, I content analyse Canadian wrongful dismissal cases selected because they deal with an employer alleging employee incompetence or poor performance. The data from the analysis is quantitatively examined to establish the determinants of case outcome (was the dismissed employee successful) and reasonable notice period that is awarded. I found that an employee victory is associated with several factors related to the performance management of an employee, to the unequal bargaining relationship in non-union employment contracts, to an employee's vulnerability, and to the "Wallace v. United Grain Growers" (1997) decision. However, only two of these factors are related to the length of reasonable notice period. In the second study, I surveyed human resource (HR) practitioners with an instrument constructed from items identified in the content analysis of the court cases in order to examine the determinants of perceived just cause and notice provided in workplace dismissals. I found that a much smaller set of determinants were associated with perceived just cause and reasonable notice period than were found in my examination of wrongful dismissal cases. In my final study, HR practitioners responded to a simulated dismissal based on the Wallace (1997) court case, a recent influential decision that has not been examined empirically to date. I found that there were significant differences in HR practitioners' perception of the legal basis of the employment contract compared to their psychological contract. Finally, I contrasted the courts' views with the perceptions and experience of HR practitioners. I found that the treatment of dismissed employees in the workplace understates the relevant factors considered important in both the law and in several views of workplace justice. Furthermore, I concluded that if HR practitioners are to achieve a better balance of employee and employer interests, management and organization scholars must be more prepared to examine a broad range of employee, employer, and social outcomes within a legal, justice, and organizational framework. I also argued that the Court's views in Wallace (1997), as well as the structure of the lower courts' decisions, are consistent with both an instrumental conceptualization of justice and a power and dependence model of employment relationships. I concluded that a more inclusive depiction of justice in the workplace must incorporate both the instrumental needs of the employee and employer as well as the inequality of power and dependence that is innate to the employment relationship, and is the context in which management decisions are made.

Download or read book A Liberal Theory of Practical Morality written by Earl Spurgin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral issues and questions abound in daily life. Media outlets frequently raise awareness of many, such as those concerning individuals’ right to privacy. The same venues seldom, if ever, raise awareness of others, such as moral issues and questions concerning our fantasies. Regardless of the level of publicity various venues afford particular moral matters, most people who become aware of those matters find many interesting and important. A problem most encounter, however, is determining the criteria through which they should approach the moral matters they wish to engage. Ethicists have long sought a moral theory that would provide the desired criteria, but most will grant readily that those efforts have not produced a generally-accepted theory. This book presents the author’s case that a kind of moral liberalism is the theory we should use to engage daily life’s moral matters. The author presents a conception of moral liberalism, argues that it is the best approach to practical morality in a plural society, and applies it to several of morality’s practical matters.
Download or read book A Purposive Approach to Labour Law written by Guy Davidov and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mismatch between goals and means is a major cause of crisis in labour law. The regulations that we use - the legal instruments and techniques - are no longer in sync with the goals they are supposed to advance. This mismatch leads to a problem of coverage, where many workers who need the protection of labour law are not covered by it, as well as a problem of obsoleteness, as labour laws are not sufficiently updated in light of dramatic changes in the labour market. Adopting a purposive approach to interpretation and legislative reform, this volume addresses this crisis of mismatch. It first articulates the goals of labour law, both general and specific, through an in-depth normative discussion and a consideration of critiques. The book then proceeds to reconsider our means, asking what we need to change or improve in the laws themselves in order to better advance the goals. Some of the proposed solutions are at the level of judicial interpretation, others at the legislative level. The book offers several examples of the way a purposive analysis should be performed in concrete cases. It also recommends institutional structures that are suited to ongoing adaptation of the law to ensure that our goals are advanced even when circumstances frequently change. Finally, in response to the crisis of enforcement in this field, which frustrates the achievement of labour law's goals, several proposals to improve compliance and enforcement are considered.
Download or read book Globalization Sports Law and Labour Mobility written by Matt Nichol and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines labour regulation and labour mobility in two professional baseball leagues: Major League Baseball in the United States and Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan. Through vivid comparative study, Matt Nichol explores how each league internally regulates labour mobility and how this internal regulation engages with external regulation from the legislature, statutory authorities and the courts. This comparison of two highly restrictive labour markets utilizes regulatory theory and labour regulation and suggests a framework for a global player transfer system in baseball.
Download or read book The Perfect Compromise written by Nicole B. Porter and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars have criticized the harshness of the employment at-will presumption, which allows an employer to terminate an employee for good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all. Other scholars defend at-will employment and criticize the just cause standard. This Article does not take sides in this debate; but instead, attempts to bridge the gap between the two by proposing a compromise statute, which I call the Employment Termination Equity Act (ETEA). Under ETEA, employers would remain free to terminate without having the difficult burden of proving just cause. However, certain enumerated reasons for termination would be unlawful. In determining which termination decisions should warrant protection, my goal was two-fold: (1) to make unlawful egregious termination decisions that have previously been unremedied despite the many exceptions to at-will employment and (2) to provide some overlap protection with current employment statutes by using a procedural process that will be more easily accessible by employees. Yet, in the spirit of true compromise, ETEA will provide fewer types of remedies than other employment statutes or common law claims, and will force plaintiffs to choose between suit under this proposed termination statute and other statutory remedies. As with any compromise, lines had to be drawn and line-drawing never satisfies everyone. My goal in this article is to convince the reader to view my line drawing optimistically - as a necessary means of bridging the gap between at-will employment and just cause.

Download or read book Private Censorship written by J. P. Messina and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private Censorship is about free speech and how corporations and social groups can interfere with it. J.P. Messina asks and variously answers questions like: what should we think when employees get fired for things they say? When is it appropriate for social media firms to deplatform users, and what does it mean for our democracy that those in charge of such decisions are often wealthy Silicon Valley executives? Do search engines act as massive gatekeepers to information in troubling ways, and how might they be constrained if so? Messina argues that while there is much to worry about when it comes to these exercises of private power, it would be a mistake to simply do away with them, as some have suggested.
Download or read book Sweden s Experience with Just Cause Dismissal written by David Allen Larson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The absolute right of an employer to fire an employee at will is disappearing in certain jurisdictions within the United States. This trend is significant since the majority of American workers are not unionized and thus lack effective bargaining power. Most employees are hired for indefinite periods of time and serve at the will of the employer. Courts, however, are carving out exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine. This article explores four questions that must be considered when deciding whether to provide just cause dismissal protection. These questions, discussed in light of Sweden's experience, address the problem of determining the maximum employment protection consistent with an efficient marketplace.
