Labour Law: Text and Materials

Law in Context

by Keith Ewing, Aileen McColgan, Keith D. Ewing

The second edition of this book examines the law relating to employment, industrial relations, and labour market regulation in the United Kingdom, including relevant dimensions of EC law and policy. The text introduces selected extracts from cases, statutes, reports, official statistics, and academic commentary and analysis, and the whole is designed to provide all the materials needed for courses in labour law or employment law. The text emphasises recent developments including the expansion of legal regulation, new forms of work, the integration of labour law with broader policies aimed at the enhancement of competitiveness and the prevention of social exclusion, equal opportunities and the protection of rights in the workplace, and new mechanisms for worker participation in decisions.
