This collection of essays--composed in honour of the leading labour law and social security jurist Ruth Ben-Israel--offers incisive perspectives on this vital aspect of today's post-industrial society. Featuring the most recent views of a virtual who's who of major labour law authorities, the book includes in-depth analyses of such important aspects of the field as the following:
- • workplace representation;
- • safety and health at work;
- • labour conflicts;
- • labour courts;
- • the ILO supervisory system;
- • right to strike;
- • mployee privacy;
- • enterprise reorganisation; and
- • treatment of blue collar vs. white collar workers.
All issues are treated from a comparative legal viewpoint, with valuable contributions from Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Israel, and Japan.
Ruth Ben-Israel is notable for her commitment--as teacher, writer, and international advisor--to the continuity and expansion of social justice as the welfare state has increasingly succumbed to the pressure of the corporate-driven global economic model. Her extensive body of work emphasizes collective bargaining, strikes and lockouts, workers' participation, equal employment opportunity (especially for women), and unfair dismissal.
