Description:
This textbook is a one-volume treatment of the basic analytical structure and legal policy issues informing U.S. employment law. After introductory chapters exploring justifications for regulation of labor markets and choices informing the design of various regulatory approaches, the full range of the subject matter is examined beginning with chapters on defining who are employees (as opposed to independent contractors); employment contract (and departures from the at-will rule); employment torts; workplace privacy; post-termination restraints and workplace intellectual property issues. The book then turns to statutory interventions, beginning with workers’ compensation; and unemployment compensation; union organization and collective bargaining; employment discrimination; employee benefits; wage-hour laws; occupational safety; plant closing and mass layoffs; and leave policies. A brand-new chapter considers remedies and procedural issues across all employment laws.
The book is designed as a complement for all leading casebooks on employment law, in that it approaches the issues in a comprehensive manner that will enable the student to understand how these laws interact in particular cases. Unlike other employment law treatises, this book moves well beyond the descriptive to empower the student in tackling difficult analytical and policy issues in the field.
