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 The Sources of Labour Law written by Tamás Gyulavári and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour law has traditionally aimed to protect the employee under a hierarchy built on constitutional provisions, statutory law, collective agreements at various levels, and the employment contract, in that order. However, in employment regulation in recent years, ‘flexibility’ has come to dominate the world of work – a set of policies that reshuffle the relationship among the fundamental pillars of labour law and inevitably lead to degrading the protection of employees. This book, the first-ever to consider the sources of labour law from a comparative perspective, details the ways in which the traditional hierarchy of sources has been altered, presenting an international view on major cross-cutting issues followed by fifteen country reports. The authors’ analysis of the changing hierarchy of labour law sources in the light of recent trends includes such elements as the following: the constitutional dimension of labour rights; the normative intervention by the State; the regulatory function of collective bargaining and agreements; the hierarchical organization of labour law sources and the ‘principle of favour’; the role played by case law in both common law and civil law countries; the impact of the European Economic Governance; decentralization of collective bargaining; employment conditions as key components of global competitive strategies; statutory schemes that allow employees to sign away their rights. National reports – Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States – describe the structure of labour law regulations in each legal system with emphasis on the current state of affairs. The authors, all distinguished labour law scholars in their countries, thus collectively provide a thorough and comprehensive commentary on labour law regulation and recent tendencies in national labour laws in various corners of the globe. With its definitive analysis of such crucial matters as the decentralization of collective bargaining and how individual employment contracts can deviate from collective agreements and statutory law, and its comparison of representative national labour law systems, this highly informative book will prove of inestimable value to all professionals concerned with employment relations, labour disputes, or labour market policy, especially in the context of multinational workforces.

Download or read book Governance of the Workplace written by Kenneth Glenn Dau-Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last three decades, the American labor market has undergone a dramatic transformation that has heralded enormous change in the governance of the workplace. The development of new information technology and the rise of the global economy have decentralized firm decision-making and brought the market into the firm in ways that have not previously been experienced. These changes have made possible a new flexibility in many production methods which allows the vertical disintegration of firms, compartmentalization of production and the out-sourcing of work on the global market. Firms can now organize production on a global scale, coordinating parts production with suppliers from across the globe, assembling engines and transmissions in Asia, and doing final assembly in consumer countries, using subcontracted or temporary labor. As a result, the paradigmatic employment relationship in the United States, and other developed countries, has moved away from a long-term relationship governed by internal labor market rules within a centralized managerial structure, toward a short-term relationship governed by international labor markets in a decentralized managerial structure. This transformation in the labor market has contributed to the decline of union representation in America. The decline of hierarchical management and the role of internal labor market rules has robbed unions of some of their traditional function of representing employees within this hierarchy. Indeed, the new systems of decentralized management, employee involvement and subcontracting, combined with same very generous Supreme Court interpretations of the managerial and supervisory exemptions under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) have left from 31- 40% of employees uncovered by the Act. At the same time, the rise of the global labor market and the movement of manufacturing jobs overseas has undermined unions' bargaining power. American unions are representing less and less people, and bringing less clout to bear at the bargaining table. As a result, more and more American workers find themselves in a system of workplace governance based on individual contract within a context of common law rules and state and federal legislation rather than collective bargaining. Moreover, the development of the new information technology, the rise of the global economy and the corresponding decline of unions has lead employers to negotiate or impose different terms in individual employment contracts. With the decline of long-term employment, employers have sought to protect their investments in training and intellectual property by requiring covenants not to compete and follow-on clauses, while attaining greater flexibility in the employment relationship by reducing expectations of job tenure and deferred benefits. Additionally, as union representation has declined in the private sector, employee litigation has come to loom large in the minds of employers and they have turned to alternative methods of dispute resolution to avoid litigation and communicate with their employees even in the absence of a union. In particular, the practice of arbitration pursuant to individual employment contracts, or employment arbitration, has grown, encouraged by legislation and court decisions favoring the procedure. Finally, perhaps in response to the decline of employee rights in the new economic regime, in recent years there has been a modest erosion of the traditional common law doctrine of employment-at-will that undergirds the American system of individual contract. In the last three decades, courts in many jurisdictions have developed common law exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine for discharges in violation of public policy, public duty, implied contract and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. At the same time, many state legislatures have passed statutes protecting employees from discharge in certain cases. These common law and statutory exceptions have circumscribed an outline of basic common law protection against the worst abuses of employer power in the system of individual contract. In this essay, we will set forth an empirical outline of the contemporary individual contract regime of workplace governance regime in the United States. Because of the breadth and diversity of the individual contract regime, this description cannot be exhaustive. We focus almost exclusively on what is known about the contents of individual contracts for employment and recent common law and statutory restrictions on the employment at-will doctrine. Where appropriate we will make comparisons with the employee rights and procedures that exist under workplace governance through collective bargaining. In this way we hope to provide a brief description of what is currently known about the contours of this regime and how it varies from the regime of collective bargaining in order to provide a basis for further research.
