Labor and Employment Law: Text and Cases

Labor and Employment Law: Text and Cases, 16th Edition is a fully up to date treatment of all the major labor and employment laws. Legal essays on each section’s topics are crafted to clarify the complexities of our labor and employment laws. The self-outlining essays are student friendly, yet authoritative and neutral, with neither management nor employee bias. Detailed footnotes in each chapter are a hallmark feature of the text. The footnotes provide case citations for further research or assignments, offer historical or additional information, and provide differing points of view to encourage critical thinking and discussion. Each chapter contains numerous court and agency decisions, including landmark cases, turning points in the law, and issues of current significance. Each decision is followed by case questions to guide the student through the opinion and to assist in identifying the issues and arguments. Extensive end-of-chapter case problems enable students and instructors to apply lecture content and case principles to real life disputes between labor and management and employees and employers.
