Employment Relations in the United States: Law, Policy, and Practice

Autor Raymond L. (Louis) Hogler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2004
This book presents an overview of the economic, political, and social forces that shaped contemporary employment relations practices in United States. It provides students with the historical background they need to understand how the US system developed and how it differs from systems in other industrialized nations. Individual employment rights, including protecting individual employees from discrimination and workplace `rights', are thoroughly examined. In addition, current policy issues in employment (raising the minimum wage, growth of a contingent workforce, privatizing retirement) are discussed in detail.

Recenzii

"An impressive work of meticulous scholarship...provides students with an historical background and context leading to an understanding of how the American system of the organized labor movement developed and just how it differs from system in other industrialized nations. Of special interest is Hogler's unique historical and evolutionary oriented explanation of the developmental history and nature of employment relations. Highly recommended reading -- especially for students of American employment relations and labor history."

"Mr. Hogler, a professor of labor relations and human resource management at Colorado State University, presents a superbly written, lucidly argued work. It deserves a wide audience of students as well as experts with a deep interest in today's 'labor question.'"
"Employment Relations analyzes the limits of these existing laws in the new political economy and suggests that in order to rebuild sustainable and just employment environments, a revival of worker collective action is crucial. Hogler's underlying political goal is to frame employment and labor laws in a way that illuminates their inherent connection to wealth distribution, status, and security."
